Bracketology Game Types: Advanced​

Select a team of contestants each week and win (or lose!) points based on things they say or do, outlined in the rules below. You will set a new lineup for every episode, and you can choose the same contestants or mix it up each time. Picks will lock for each episode when the episode starts in Eastern Time.

Point categories that can be included in a season are as follows:

One Time Bonuses/Penalties

These can only be received by one contestant, one time during the season. Once a bonus has been awarded, it will be crossed out & is no longer available for the rest of the season.

Positive Points

Can be earned once per episode per contestant, and can also be earned by multiple contestants. The most common way for a contestant to earn points.

Negative Points

Can be deducted once per episode per contestant, and can also be deducted from multiple contestants.
