And I thank you for doing it. I entered a few years ago when Lake State last won and picked everything correctly except the winner of the final game, only to finish down the list a quarter of the way, losing to people who had several erroneous picks along the way. That turned me off to the contest. What I don't like is the inflation of points as the rounds continue. I know its to keep possibilities open for people to win who have not been perfect up to that point, but it just didn't feel fair when it happened to me and I haven't entered since. Since you ask, how about an across the board 2 points for every winner, 2 points for having the score differential exactly right (regardless of who wins), 1 point for having the differential within 1 point, and 1 point for correctly designating an overtime game. But no point inflation as the games go on.
