No, your way is unfair.

According to the current rules, the following scenario is possible:

A guy who guesses the "Round of 16" teams correctly might have the same amount of points (or even lower) than a guy who didn't get a single "Round of 16" team correctly (just because he/she got the scores right often).

So now, you are letting the guy who didn't get a single team right get even more points and surpassing someone who got the winners correctly (but unfortunately didn't get the scores right).

Basically, people who don't get the teams right should be weeded out. That's only fair.

Also, if you want to let someone make a comeback, you might want to consider giving different points for different levels.

Start from the top: Getting the champion right (16 points) Second place (8 points) Semifinalists (4 points)

This is just an idea. Please research how other websites do it but right now the award system is lacking.
