Pick confirmations (both emailed and on-screen) are provided. Try it! Example SettingsWe have included below some example settings pages for the Pick-The-Bracket pool to give you an idea of how it works (please see our General Site Tour for features and functionality that is common to all pool formats on this website). Round Values
The round value is normally the number of points you get for each win in that round.
Some pools use other formulas for scoring (see below) that involves the round value, like for example,
the round value * team seed = points.
Upset Bonus (Seed Scoring) (help)
To reward people who pick upsets use one of the options below.
To make the points per win equal to the seed times the round, select Option #2 above and set the round values equal to the round (e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6).
TiebreakersPick-the-bracket pool standings are always based on Points first. After points, you have several options for tiebreakers. Pick DeadlineOnce your pick deadline passes, nobody can enter or change their picks and the poolwide picks become available for everyone to see. If you are using the total points scored in the championship game tiebreaker, you can define when that tiebreaker needs to be in by too.
