The free March Madness Bracket Game presented by Steiner Sports, will offer several chances to win. In order to win prizes you must either score the most points after each individual round or score the most overall points at the end of the contest. There are opportunities to win after each round and at the contests conclusion. In the event of a tie for overall bracket points, Fantazzle will then look at the seed points that each contestant has accumulated
SCORING - Contestants will receive points for every correct selection. As the rounds move on, the amount of points received will increase.
Bracket Points - Bracket points will be determined by how many points have been accumulated in each round and then added up for the grand total of each bracket.

1st round 64 teams: 1 point
2nd round 32 teams: 2 points
3rd round Sweet 16: 3 points
4th round Elite 8: 4 points
5th round Final Four: 5 points
