A bracket pool rewards knowing college basketball. A squares grid needs no picks at all and can pay on every game. Here is how the two differ, and which one fits your group.
Once the numbers are drawn, yes. The only decision a player makes is how many squares to claim, up to the commissioner's per-person cap. After that, each game's final score decides which square it pays.
On TourneyRun, once for every game from the round of 64 through the title game, which is 63 games. If the commissioner turns on the play-in games, those four pay too.
No. Rows are the winner's last digit and columns are the loser's last digit, so any square can win any game no matter who is playing.
No. TourneyRun runs tournament squares, tournament survivor and college basketball draft pools.
Yes. They do not interact: the grid pays on final scores and the bracket scores picks, so a group can run both side by side.
One flat $20 league fee, paid by the commissioner. Everyone who claims a square joins free, and the square money stays between the players and the commissioner.
