Q: What are the rules for the NBA Playoff Bracket pool?
This format is simple for casual fans but still challenging for the diehards:
✅ Members pick the winner of each NBA Playoff series
✅ They also predict how many games the series will go (4, 5, 6, or 7 games)
✅ Points are awarded for correctly picking the series winner, with bonus points for how close they come to the correct number of games
✅ Points increase each round, and the pool commissioner can customize these values
✅ The entry with the highest total points at the end of the playoffs wins
Q: How can I change my entry name that shows up in reports?
Go to your Pool Memberships page
Click on the correct pool
Navigate to the Your Picks tab
Click the rename link next to the entry you’d like to change
Q: When are standings and reports updated?
Most updates happen within minutes after each game finishes, although there is no guaranteed update time due to standard internet delays.
Q: Can I add a member’s pick after the pick deadline?
Yes! Here’s how:
If they haven’t joined yet, add them via Commissioner Console → Member Management → Add a Member
Go to Member Pick Maintenance
Follow the on-screen instructions to update their picks
Q: Can I customize the scoring?
Yes! You can set the number of points awarded for correct series winners and assign bonus points based on how close the series length prediction was (e.g., exact, one game off, etc.).
