Bracketology Game Types: Advanced

Choose a new team each week. Your players earn or lose points based on certain rules.

The perfect league type for reality TV super fans who want to avoid the impact of spoilers. Every week, you’ll choose a team of contestants that will earn (or lose) you points. As most viewers know, certain events happen pretty frequently throughout the season. We’ve created a list of some of the best and worst events, and if any of these happen and one of your team members is involved (i.e., wins a competition, contestant says key buzzwords like “blindsided” or “journey”), you will either gain or lose points. Between episodes, you will have the option to choose new team members.

Point bonus 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

Once per episode: Can be earned once per episode, by multiple contestants.

Multiple times per episode: These can be received as many times as applicable. Multiple contestants can score these points AND the same contestant can receive points for every time the action is completed during the episode.

Negative Points:

Once per episode: Can be deducted once per episode, from multiple contestants.

Multiple times per episode: These can be deducted as many times as applicable. Multiple contestants can be deducted these points AND the same contestant can lose points for every time the action is completed during the episode.

Featured Points:

There will occasionally be points that can only be scored in certain episodes or weeks. Examples of this are Season Premiere-only, and the Patreon Rule of the Week, where our Patrons get a small influence over the week’s outcomes by suggesting a rule for the specific week.
