Bracket weekend pack

A simple plan for today.

Lock brackets before the first game, make confidence picks before the next tip-off, and save side challenges for commercial breaks.

  1. 01 Lock-in Before tip Bracket Pool

    Brackets locked before the first game so nobody is editing mid-upset.

  2. 02 Between games TV window Confidence Pool

    Quick confidence picks for the next tip — stop when live ball is back.

  3. 03 Nightcap Prime-time game Commercial Break Challenge

    Play only during commercials and stop the side challenge as soon as live coverage resumes.
