6. You can enter more than once, just use a different entry name for each entry. You may duplicate your email address on multiple entries.

7. You agree to receive email updates from me during the tournament, and other tournament-related reminders as needed. I will not spam nor sell the list, nor use your email name for any other reason.

POINTS:

Regular Points Contest (1-2-3-5-7-10) 1 point for each win in the first round 2 points for 2nd round (each Sweet Sixteen team you pick) 3 points for 3rd round 5 points for 4th round (for each Final Four team) 7 points for 5th round (the two Saturday Final Four games) 10 points for 6th round (National Champion)

Seeded Points Contest 1 point if your selection is the #1 seed and they win. 2 points if your selection is the #2 seed and they win. 3 points if your selection is the #3 seed and they win. ......etc.... 16 points if your selection is the #16 seed and they win.
