NCAA Men’s Starting Lineup Challenge
Starting Lineup Challenge is a brand new March Madness game, where fans can compete throughout the entire tournament, long after brackets have busted. When the teams are announced on Selection Sunday, each is assigned a point value based on its seed. Players get 1000 points to pick five teams before the start of the tournament. Teams gain value by winning games — the better the team they beat, the more points they get. If a team loses, it stops gaining points for the rest of the tournament.
After the first round, the marketplace opens up again. Sell any teams that have lost, or any teams you don’t want in your lineup next round, and the point values from those teams will go straight to your point bank. Then use your point bank to buy any new teams you want before the market closes when the next round starts.
Repeat the process every round of the tournament. The player with the most points at the end of the tournament wins the game. Click here to learn more on how to play!
