Playoff Bracket Challenge Pools

This was added in 2025. Let us know if you have ideas on how to improve it.

A Playoff Bracket Challenge lets your poolies make predictions on who will win which series and in how many games.

You've done these brackets before and now you can run your own. FOR FREE!

To set up:

1) Register A FREE Playoff Bracket Challenge Pool.

2) Direct your Poolies to the Playoff Predictor and have them make their predictions there.

Once they have submitted their Cup Final picks, there are some feilds on that final page for them to register their predictions into your Playoff Bracket Challenge Pool.

3) Give them the Pool Login of the Pool you just registered, and they can add the rest of the information it requests.

4) You, as the Administrator, set up your scoring on the Admin Page, select Set Bracket Challenge Scoring:

5) You'll likely want to select Hide Poolie Selections at this point too so folks can't copy others while everyone is entering their picks.

6) Later, once your poolies have all entered, select Lock Drafting (and Unhide Poolie Selections to disallow further changes to their predictions!

When you visit the Daily Stats Page, you'll see the brackets your folks have entered (along with points and current standings), something like:

WSH v MTL (current Wins: 1) defeat (current Wins: 0) Predicted 5 GP						WPG v STL (current Wins: 2) defeat (current Wins: 0) Predicted 5 GP
