I don't mind randomness being involved, but I'm not down for anything that's purely random

you could do something where each person gets 2 brackets and the total combined high score wins.

With this few runners, people's brackets would look so identical that all the money would come down to like one or tow games

or you could do something where you each fill one out yourself and then also have a random bracket and the highest combined score of that wins.

Essentially the same thing as a random draw, since there's no incentive to pick anything other than the most likely bracket for your non-random one
What about something like you draft teams minus UK and get points based on their point differential? So every time one of your team wins you get + that many points and if one of your teams loses you get - that many points? That way at least 2 of us are likely to have a sweat until the end, and possibly all 3. (i.e. you could be in 2nd with +50 points and someone with +55 and someone else with +40 are playing in the title game, so if the latter wins by 6 through 9 then the guy with +50 would end up winning)
Or like a calcutta, where we bid against each other and buy teams and then you get % of the total prizepool based on how far your team goes (we can seed the prizepool with $100 or $1000 each or something to incite action)
Just spit balling here
