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.

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.
