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
