Members pick a team to win and try to stay alive. Set the number of lives, team-reuse rules, and any multi-pick weeks.
Keep everyone in the game with weekly and season standings. Pick winners or use spreads, cover every game or choose a few, and add bonus picks.
Let members put more points on the picks they trust most. Use values that match the pick count, 7-5-3-3-3 scoring, or your own weights.
Start a separate survivor pool with all 32 teams available again. Choose your opening week and keep the original pool wherever it is.
Run a squares board for a Sunday game, the playoffs, or the Super Bowl. Choose scoring times and keep the same numbers all game or change them each quarter.
From Wild Card Weekend through the Super Bowl.
Members assign points to their game picks. Reset the values each round or use one points bank across the postseason. Correct picks earn their assigned values.
Pick winning teams to stay alive. Choose lives, picks per round, and team-reuse rules as the field gets smaller.
Everyone plays through the final game. Members pick winners or play against the spread, with equal points per game or different values by round.
Members predict advancement and the champion before play begins. Set points by round and explain how NFL reseeding affects matchups and credit for later picks.
Each entry ranks every playoff team once and earns a team’s assigned value each time it wins. Some hosts call this playoff power ranking or playoff confidence; the points stay with the team.
Get your board ready before the matchup is set. Choose how many squares to offer, when the numbers are drawn, and which scores count on Super Bowl Sunday.
Postseason bowl games, with the games your group wants to include.
Give each correct pick the same value, or make selected games and later playoff rounds worth more. Choose straight-up or spread picks.
Members assign points to their own picks. Use one bank across the schedule, with values saved for later playoff games, or reset values for each group.
Divide the games into groups and require winning picks to advance. Set picks per group, team reuse, and what happens if several entries survive or everyone loses.
The college postseason championship tournament.
Predict all 11 games, including the champion, before the playoff starts. Give correct picks equal points or make later rounds worth more.
Assign values from 1 to 12 once. Every team win earns its assigned value again. Also called Rank’em or team confidence, with optional round multipliers.
Pick each round’s actual matchups, straight-up or against the spread. Use equal points, weight later rounds, or let members assign confidence points to their picks.
A tournament, the majors, or a series across the golf season.
Pick one golfer from each tier. A familiar setup uses six picks and the four best tournament scores, with earnings scoring and other counting rules available.
Pick a different golfer at each event and add their official earnings across the series. Each golfer is used once. A missed cut hurts the score but does not eliminate the entry.
Pick a golfer who must make the cut or reach a stated finishing position. Start with no repeat picks and one life, or use the survival rules your group prefers.
Give each golfer a price and every entry the same budget. Members build a roster within the cap, then score its results using strokes or tournament earnings.
The NCAA basketball tournament each spring.
Predict the full tournament before play begins. Score correct advancements with points by round, optional upset bonuses, and a championship tiebreaker.
Pick winners as the tournament unfolds and stay alive while other entries fall out. Set daily picks, team reuse, and a seed-total tiebreaker for entries that finish together.
Choose a set of teams, often eight, and earn their seed numbers in points for each win. Use any eligible teams or require one from each seed line.
Members choose teams and assign their own point values. Every win earns the team’s value again. Start with 16 teams and values 1 through 16, or use your group’s preferred count.
Keep one board across many games. The last digits of the winning and losing scores identify each game’s square. Members can win again as new results come in.
Auction teams to your group before the tournament. Owners earn awards as their teams win or reach a finishing stage, according to the schedule you set before bidding.
