Frequently Asked Questions

How does bracket scoring work?

Points increase every round. Early wins build the base of your score, while later rounds carry the biggest swings and can decide the pool.

When do I need to submit my bracket?

Your bracket must be locked before the first game of the tournament tips off or kicks off. Deadline reminders appear before lock.

Can I edit my bracket after submitting?

You can make changes until the bracket locks. Once the tournament starts, your picks are final.

What tiebreaker is used?

Pools can use a championship-game total score tiebreaker, closest-score prediction, or commissioner-defined rules depending on the format.
