March Madness ALWAYS have points escalating as the Tourney progresses. Like 1 point for the first round 2 points for the second, 4 points for the sweet 16, 8 points for the great 8, 16 for the final four etc...
You are in a March Maddness pool where you pick games each round individually and not at the beginning? Interesting.
The reason March Madness advances points is you are rewarded for having your prediction still alive. Lose your Final Four team in round one? Yeah, big hit. Predict one early upset? Which SHOULD be worth more? Nope, one point. Two completely different strategies. Not to mention, again, March Madness is one single pool. I don't know many March Madness pools that have a entire season's worth of predictions that you could then lose because your NC lost in round one. Apples and Oranges here.
