Playing fantasy The Tonys has never been more fun.

It’s your favorite time of the year – The Tony Awards time. It’s finally time to see what plays and actors will win top honors of the year. If you’re like us, you’ve thought to yourself, “Wow; it would be so fun to have a game to play along with the award show.”

 

Well, it’s here! You can play your own version of The Tonys (without needing to be a professional actor). Bracketology offers one Fantasy Tonys game type: predict what Tony Award nominees will win in every category. This challenge is on.

Add The Tonys to 'Your Shows'

Bracketology offers fantasy gaming for a variety of reality TV shows. If this is your first time using the app, after logging in, you'll be prompted to select your first show. Choose 'The Tonys' and you'll be ready to join some leagues. If you have already played fantasy games on Bracketology for another show, use the 'Add Shows' menu in the upper left corner of your app, click the '+" button & add The Tonys to your show list.

Let's talk about leagues.

After you’ve added The Tonys to Your Shows, you will be automatically added to the Official Bracketology Tonys League. Here, you can compete against musical fans site-wide. You also have the option to join or create as many additional leagues as you want. The best part? You can easily submit the same lineup to multiple leagues – no need to remake picks for each one – making it easy to be in as many leagues as you want.

Join Leagues

Once you’re on the Leagues tab, swipe over to the ‘Join Leagues’ section to see all of the Public leagues available to join. 

Create a League

Looking to adopt the role of ‘commissioner’ and create your own league? We love it. Just click the Create New + button and follow the instructions. You’ll be asked to create a league name, description, add a photo for the league icon, and any social links you might want to direct your league-mates to. After, you’ll be prompted to choose up to 3 game types in which your league can compete, as well as decide the privacy of your league (private = invite only, public = searchable in the league directory and anyone can join).

Making your picks.

Don't forget to make picks!

Bracketology normally offers four different game types for reality TV fantasy games, but just offers one for The Tonys due to the structure of the award show.

Pick the Tony Award nominees that you think will take home in the crown in each category.

Make sure your push notifications are turned on.

Can’t score points if you don’t make picks. We do our best to ensure that you don’t forget by sending (a very reasonable amount of) push notifications whenever it’s time to set your lineups. Check your phone settings (Settings > Notifications) and make sure all notifications are turned ON so you receive these important reminders. We’ll also send pick reminders via email, so make sure you are opted-in to receive those, too.

Watch The Tonys.

Tune in to watch The Tony Awards on CBS. Don’t worry though – we’ll do all the fantasy scoring for you so you can just sit back and relax.
