Per Yahoo MM Bracket commissioner Jabber, Yahoo designated point structure is the scoring used to determine winner.

Points and Tiebreaker process:



Tiebreakers

If two or more players in a group finish with the same overall point total after a national champion is crowned, we'll use the following system to break the tie (for tiebreakers, we only take predicted points into consideration):

• First tiebreaker - Closest prediction of total points scored by both teams wins.
• Second tiebreaker - Closest prediction for points scored by the winning team.
• Third tiebreaker - Closest prediction for points scored by the losing team.
• If beyond a third - If the last tiebreaker is deadlocked, the players remain tied in the standings and Sytes holds the final determination for distributing prizes.

You should have an email if you played last year. There were over 200 participants last year, only 52 signed up so far this year. Here is a link if you didn't get the email.

I would recommend that the lowest score has to be a complete bracket. Otherwise, those that forget to make picks will all be tied for last place.
