    Reminder:

    Upset Pick Bonus
    :

    Upset pick bonus gives you 1 extra point for picking lower-seeded teams correctly. You will be awarded the extra bonus point for each upset (lower seed beating a higher seed) you correctly predict.

    I mention this because someone who filled out the bracket said they didn't notice this nugget of info.
