We're back again for the 4th year, in honor of Vermont's favorite son, and Pregame legend gone too soon, Doughboy.
Here's the link to last year's thread. All details are the same, only the deadline has changed to Wed night since I'll be at work on Thursday morning.

The basics:
40 beans to enter. All funds go back out to winners, minus officefootballpool.com fee which is now $1.25 per entry. I keep nothing.
Scoring: Not a standard format here - scoring includes bonus points for picking upsets. For example, round 1 wins are worth 1 point. If you pick a #2 seed to win in round one, you are awarded 2 points. If you pick a #10 seed to win in round one, you are awarded 10 points.
In round 2, winners are worth 2 points. So that #2 seed win is worth 4 points. #10 seed winner is worth 20 points, etc.
Subsequent rounds are worth 4, 8, 16 and 32 points. So if your #6 seed pick wins it all, you will get 192 points for that win. The scoring essentially makes you get creative and not just fill out the chalkiest bracket. Having done it before, it's a lot of fun, has wild swings in the leaderboard and will be the most interesting Madness contest you'll be in.

**When sending funds, please make sure I can match your payment to your OFP.com username. I will list paid entrants as they come in, like Fishzhang does for his NFL supercontest.
Pay outs will be 60%, 20%, 10%, 10% for the top 4 spots.
