Q: What is a NFL Playoff Bracket?
A: Playoff Bracket pools are a simple NFL pool format where members pick every round of the playoffs before they start in an attempt to predict every match up correctly.
Q: Can members see other members picks?
A: Pool members are able to view all other pool members picks ONLY after the pick deadline has passed, i.e., the start of the playoffs. We want to be able to see who everyone picked when we watch the games, but we don't want members basing their picks on other members picks.
Q: Where do I go to make picks?
A: Once you are entered into the pool, you will go to the "Your Picks" tab to make picks.
Q: Can I change points per win?
A: Yes. You will go to your commissioner console > pool settings > pick & scoring settings > points > enter the points you want to you and members to receive if correct.
Q: Is there a multiple setting I can edit or add?
A: Yes, you will go to your commissioner console > pool settings > pick & scoring settings > post-season point multipliers and edit within each box for each round.
Q: How can I lock my pool?
A: You can lock your pool so no new members can join your pool or current members cannot create new/additional entries by going to your commissioner console > pool settings > basic settings > turn ON prevent new entries.
Q: How can I access/view the leaderboard?
A: You will go to reports > leaderboard.
Q: If a member forgets to make picks before the pick deadline, can they do it after?
A: No, only the commissioner has access to enter/edit picks for members after the pick deadline has passed by going through their commissioner console > member pick maintenance page > select member > make picks.
Q: Do I have to pick the entire bracket before the pick deadline (before the playoffs start)?
A: Yes, you must pick and complete the entire bracket before the playoffs start.
Q: How does the site determine a winner using the tie-breaker?
A: The site will indicate the player(s) whose tiebreak selection is closest to the combined total of the last game of the week, as indicated on the pick sheet. (NOTE: It is the tiebreak value closest to the actual value, NOT closest without going over)
Q: Can I see my pool standing and results from a previous year?
A: Yes. Go to Reports --> Pool History
