Still craving basketball after March Madness? Keep the excitement going with an NBA Playoff Bracket Pool! Whether you’re a seasoned fan or just love the drama of the postseason, this format is simple to run and fun to play.

How the NBA Playoff Bracket Pool Works

This format is easy enough for beginners, yet offers plenty of depth for die-hard basketball fans.

  • 🏀 Pick the Series Winners
    Members select the winner of each NBA playoff series.

  • 🔢 Predict the Series Length
    For every series, members also predict how many games it will take to win (4, 5, 6, or 7).

  • 🏆 Scoring
    Points are awarded for picking the correct series winner, with bonus points for nailing the exact number of games.

  • 📈 Progressive Points
    Points per round increase as the playoffs advance. Commissioners can customize point values per round.

  • 👑 Win the Pool
    The entry with the most points at the end of the NBA Playoffs takes the crown!
