Men’s March Madness Brackets (EO)
Men’s Brackets allow commissioners to run a traditional NCAA Tournament bracket in an Entertainment-Only, self-managed format.
What options commissioners have
Commissioners can choose from the following options when setting up their Men’s March Madness Bracket:
Create a brand-new Men’s Bracket pool
New Men’s Bracket pools are created on the Entertainment-Only (EO) platform (self-managed) and are fully managed by the commissioner.
Restart an existing Entertainment-Only (EO) Men’s Bracket contest
Existing EO Men’s Bracket contests from prior seasons can be restarted and reused.
Restart an existing OfficeFootballPool (OFP) Men’s Bracket
OFP Men’s Bracket contests can be restarted and will be migrated to the Entertainment-Only (EO) platform (self-managed).
Noticeable Settings That Will Not Be Incorporated on our Entertainment-Only Platform that Was Once on OfficeFootballPool:
Notable setting missing on RYP that were on OFP
The ability to give an entrant bonus points for getting an entire region correct
The ability to give an entrant bonus points for getting all the matchups between a specific seeds in the first round correct
For example, a commissioner can give bonus points to any entrant that gets all of the 5 seed vs 12 seed matchups correct.
Important notes
Men’s March Madness Brackets are Entertainment-Only and self-managed
Entry fees (if any) must be collected outside the platform
Splash Sports does not host real-money bracket contests
Some legacy scoring settings from OFP are not supported on the EO platform
