Points are assigned using the inverse of a seed's historical winning percentage in each round based on data from https://bracketodds.cs.illinois.edu/seedadv.html. In this way, upsets are rewarded in proportion to the risk of picking them.

156 points (current historical games played in 64 team format) are assigned for the first round a seed has never won and doubles each round thereafter, simulating a 50% chance of winning subsequent rounds.
