Thanks for reaching out! 🏀

In our NBA Playoff Bracket pools, the goal is for members to pick the winner of each playoff series. For every series, members will also predict how many games the series will last (4, 5, 6, or 7 games).

Points are awarded for each correct series winner.
Bonus points are awarded for correctly predicting the exact number of games the series takes.
✅ Points typically increase with each round of the playoffs, and the Pool Commissioner can configure these values to their liking.

At the end of the playoffs, the member with the highest total points wins the pool.

If you’d like to explore more details, feel free to reach out to support@runyourpool.com — we’re always happy to help!
