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

Points and Tiebreaker process:

1741786525058.png

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.

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.
