How did you settle on the points awarded? Just make them up or did you follow someone else's model?
Not disagreeing, just curious. I think they are pretty fair.
I just basically asked myself, “What’s more valuable?”
How many Sweet 16’s would I trade to see my team make a Final Four? I mean in my mind, I think a Final Four should be worth at least 3… probably more like 4 Sweet 16’s.
Rounds that get your team to a new weekend are more valuable. So for instance, a Sweet 16 should be worth more of an increase in points compared to the increase between 1st and 2nd round. The biggest jumps % wise would be making the NCAA Tournament to begin with… the Sweet 16… the Final Four… and the National Title. Meanwhile, Second Round, Ellite 8, and Runner-up should see point increases but to a lesser extent, IMO.

I don't disagree.
The way they have it set up is kind of a two game step system. You go to one venue and play 2 games in two days and if you win, you move up to the next venue.
So the 3 big levels are:
Making the dance - 1st venue
Sweet Sixteen - 2nd venue
Final Four - 3rd venue
Obviously the mathematical part of it is 6 levels, with the field shrinking in half each level. But you only celebrate winning the 1st round for 1 day then you have to play again, same with the 3rd and 5th rounds. The 2nd, 4th and 6th round wins get to sink in.
