Fantasy League Game Types

Advanced

The game type that put Bracketology on the map – fantasy football for reality TV! Our original fantasy game type, where you select a team of contestants each week and win (or lose!) points based on what they do and say in the episode. You will make picks weekly for every episode, regardless of whether there is an elimination ceremony. Picks will lock for each episode when the episode starts in Eastern Time.

Week to Week

In the Week to Week game type, you will select contestants who you believe will advance in the upcoming elimination ceremony. Those who you do not pick are the ones you believe will not advance and get sent home. You will make picks weekly for each ceremony in this game type. For each correct pick, you will receive a uniform number of points, with the points earned equal to the ceremony number (Ex: Ceremony 1 = 1 point per correct pick, Ceremony 2 = 2 points, etc.). Picks will lock for each ceremony when each episode starts in Eastern Time.

First Impression

March Madness brackets for reality TV. For First Impression game types, all picks for the full season are made prior to Episode 2 (note: the pick-locking episode may vary per show). You will get to watch the very first episode(s) of the season, gather your first impressions of the contestants, and then select who you believe will advance through each elimination ceremony, all the way to the finals. You score points for each correct pick, with the points earned equal to the ceremony number (Ex: Ceremony 1 = 1 point per correct pick, Ceremony 2 = 2 points, etc.). You will only set picks once for this game type, and picks will lock before Episode 2 locks in EST (note: picks-locking episode may vary per show).

Confidence Pool

New to Bracketology – the Confidence Pool game type is very similar to Week to Week, but with an extra twist. In addition to selecting who you think will advance at each elimination ceremony, you also assign point values to contestants based on how confident you are that they will not get eliminated. The higher the point value assigned, the more confident you are that they will advance. You will make picks weekly for each ceremony in this game type. Picks will lock for each ceremony when each episode starts in Eastern Time.
