Each contestant will make a total of 45 plays from NCAA regular-season and NCAA Tournament games only. A winning play is worth one point and a push is worth a half-point.

Best Bets: In each round, the contestants designate one play as a Best Bet, which is worth 1.5 points if it wins. Any contestant failing to designate a Best Bet will get a zero for the BB record in that round.

- If any game is canceled or postponed, it's graded to be worth a half-point; a postponed game must be played within two days of the originally scheduled date or is graded to be worth a half-point.

Tiebreakers: Pick the Final Four teams (one point per correct team) and national champion (three points for correct team) and submit the tiebreaker picks for the Wednesday, March 18 show. If two or more contestants remain tied after the NCAA championship game, the Best Bet point total will serve as the next tiebreaker; if a tie still exists, the contestant with the most winning plays in the contest prevails.

Lines and pick deadlines: For the first two regular-season rounds of the contest, plays must be submitted by 8 a.m. PT on Saturday.

Pick deadlines for the NCAA Tournament rounds will be determined at a later date and the information will be emailed to all contestants.

Prize structure: TBA: Circa owner Derek Stevens is awarding a Stadium Swim cabana with a $1,000 credit or a Barry's dinner comp worth $1,000 to the contest winner, who also receives a trophy. The runner-up contestant receives a $200 gift card to Dom Demarco's Pizzeria in Las Vegas. (might change the prizes a little and add third place) TBA
