Myself and 4 others got together for a bracket draft. We all were allotted $25 of Monopoly money to spend on each team and once we had our roster of teams, we got awarded points according to their seeding. So in other words, if Gonzaga was one of your teams, you got just one point if they won. However, there were 5 separate payouts after each round, including one payout for the winner of the NC game, so there were two separate strategies: Buy lots of teams albeit it the higher seeds and shoot for the early money, or bid for a Duke or Virginia and shoot for the NC game.
The problem is the draft. Since there is just a couple of days from Selection Sunday until the first games on Thursday, there's only 3 days in which to hold it, and it took us close to 3 hours and a whole lot of beer to finish it.
