League rules:
Players pick the whole bracket, all the matches, before the first match starts.
The league commish can not make late picks for league players in MMMBB.
Points rewarded for each correct pick will increase each round. For the 4 rounds in MMMBB, points won are: 3, 5, 8, 13.
Combatants are seeded 1 thru 16. Seeds indicate the estimated probability of success. But seeds do not affect the points received.
The point value for each pick, along with other combatant info, is shown on the pick'em page once picks are available.

League Features
One Login, Multiple Picks
The league commish can add league players that are not able to login to the site themselves by just adding a name for each person. The commish must make picks for these "no-login" players. No-login players can still browse to your league leaderboard and see their picks, but can not make picks. Add as many league players as you'd like.
