Win an Elite 8 game? That's impressive. You get 5 more points! Win a Final 4 game? Meh. 2 points.
There is a reason CBS markets March Madness as “The Road to the Final Four.”
Getting to the Championship Game and losing isn’t exponentially better than getting to the Final Four and losing in the National Semifinal. The main goal is to get to the Final Four and then to win the National Title.
Sure, winning a game there should be worth more points. But losing in the Title Game shouldn’t be worth the same as making two Final Fours… if you double each round as one poster suggested, that’s what you’d get… and it’d be stupid to weight it that way

Of course it is. You have no shot of winning the title without playing for the title. Those two teams are the only remaining teams out of hundreds of basketball programs.

The goal is to play for the title and then see where the chips fall.

Tell that to the universal scoring format of the biggest sports gambling event in the world.
