Brackets
Bracket competitions for March Madness, the World Cup, AFL Finals, Grand Slam tennis, and every knockout tournament your audience cares about. Every round changes the standings. Every upset rearranges the leaderboard.
How it works
Bracket competitions run in three phases. Each one is distinct. The last one runs itself.
Before the tournament begins, every participant predicts the winner of every match from the first round through to the championship. Reminders go out 24 hours and one hour before lock. Incomplete brackets receive zero points for unpicked matches.
At the configured lock time — typically the kick-off of the first game — all brackets freeze simultaneously. No exceptions, no late entries. Once locked, every bracket becomes visible to the whole competition. Pick distribution percentages show how the field split on every matchup.
From the first whistle, the tournament does the work. Results come in from the live data feed, picks score automatically, and leaderboards update after every match. Whoever predicted the upsets moves up. Whoever played it safe watches their bracket collapse. By the Final Four, the competition has its own story.
Tournaments & scale
March Madness, FIFA World Cup, AFL Finals, Grand Slam tennis, UEFA Champions League, and more: all supported at launch on the live data feed. Bracket structure, seedings, and results all come in automatically once a competition is set up.
Custom tournaments are supported too. Create your own bracket, set your own teams, and enter results manually. The same scoring engine runs underneath.
Configurable
Every bracket competition has its own configuration. The defaults work out of the box: but everything is adjustable.
Choose how points accumulate across rounds. Linear scoring awards one point per correct pick in round one, two in round two, and so on. Exponential scoring doubles the points each round, making the later stages worth dramatically more. Custom presets let you set the points per round yourself.
By default each participant submits one bracket. Allow up to five per participant if you want to encourage experimentation: different strategies, different risk profiles, different names. Each participant's best-scoring bracket counts toward the leaderboard.
Control when participants can see each other's brackets. Keep them hidden until lock to prevent copying, or open them up immediately. Your call per competition.
Every bracket competition you run inherits the complete platform layer: white-label branding, live leaderboards, groups and inter-group rivalries, Banter Board, prize administration, and CRM integrations.
Enterprise-grade security, SSO, and data residency covered on the security page.
