Interesting. So the scoring for the final four would look like this:
seed
#1 8 pts
#2 16 pts
#3 24 pts
#4 32 pts
#5 40 pts
#6 48 pts
One thing I just noticed. If you look at the seeds of the past final fours, as expected, it's very stacked with the top seeds. So you're really taking a risk when you pick a #5 seed or higher.
