Ultimate Bracket Challenge - Scoring settings
If you're looking for a place to do your brackets this year, check out Ultimate Bracket Challenge. The best part about this site is that you can really customize your scoring settings, including some that would have game theory applications to win. A friend of mine who does statistical analysis for the Houston Rockets runs it and even will pay out $100 to whoever takes the top prize in the namesake pool without requiring a buy-in.
He also runs Outside The Hashes, which does sports-related statistical analysis, mostly related to football and basketball. He should have his tournament write-up posted sometime tomorrow morning.
Good luck!
