I thought the survivor pool for the NBA In-Season Tournament got really interesting once we entered the elimination rounds, so I recommend that. It's also relatively easy to manage a survivor pool. I'll post a big chunk of the reward, if you want to go that route.
Yes that worked very well. There is only 6 rounds though in the March Madness tournament and 64 teams so might need some restrictions. I don't want people just picking 2 and 1 seeds all the way.

Right. Plus, the bracket removes some of the matchup uncertainty that the NBA had.
Still, if it's single elimination, there's a lot of risk in picking second seeds early on, in order to save the ones for later. Point differentials are easy enough tie-breakers, though.
Alternatively, you could do it lottery style and split the pot if there are multiple winners. That would incentivize picking some lower probability outcomes that will come with a bigger prize.

Sounds good. I didn't participate. Here's something I found online:

Another option would be you need to make 4 picks in round of 64, 2 picks in round of 32, and then one from 16 on.
