In the world of March Madness pools, however, the implications of the missed game are much more unclear.
The N.C.A.A.’s Bracket Challenge does not state what happens if a team has to drop out because of virus-related protocols. It does state that the sponsors are not responsible for any sort of cancellations in the tournament and that the prizes could be impacted.
According to ESPN’s Tournament Challenge official rules, “In the event a Tournament basketball game does not occur as scheduled (e.g., due to cancellation) no points will be awarded for that game.”
That means that 10 points will be removed from everyone’s total available points, but you will not lose any if you picked V.
