![]() ![]() We have also created a cool little tool that will calculate the total Number of Games in a Tournament. Whoever wins that game would then be the champions. If the team from the Loser's Bracket wins, then game 15(dotted lines) in the above illustration would be played. If the team from the Winner's Bracket wins then they are the champions. Multiple quarterbacks made their debuts in new cities, and a wild Bengals-Steelers game ended in OT. Game 14 in the above illustration is the Championship between the Winner of the Winner's Bracket(Zero Losses) and the Winner of the Loser's bracket(1 Loss). All you have to do is look at the Winner's Bracket to see what game number was played, and the loser of that game would drop down to the corresponding location in the losers bracket.ĭ: The letter "D" represents the Championship game. Simply start by playing the game labeled (1) and continue until all games are completed.Ĭ: The letter "C" points to the position where the loser of each game would move to. ![]() If you are printing a blind draw bracket these numbers will not appear on the bracket, but the rest of the bracket will be exactly the same.ī: The letter "B" points to the order in which the games are to be played. The same idea is used for all brackets, not matter what the number of participants are.Ī: The letter "A" points to the "Seeds" of the tournament, if you have pre-ranked your participants based on strength or a season record you would put each team's name on the corresponding line. The bracket above is a 16 Team "Seeded" double elimination bracket. If you are not familiar with running double elimination tournaments, the above illustration and the comments below should help guide you through setting up and running your tournament. We also have printable Single Elimination Brackets and Triple Elimination Brackets available. The two sections above are broken up between "Blind Draw" and "Seeded". The pool administrator does not say which games will be picked ATS, but instead each participant has the option of picking which games they are most confident will cover the spread and which games they are most confident in just a team winning.The Double Elimination brackets above are free to print. My favorite way to run this pool is to allow the participants to choose half of the games against the spread and the other half as a straight pick 'em pool. Simply total up the number of games each person has picked correctly, the person with the highest total is the winner. ![]() I prefer to use the person that is simply the closest to the total points scored, as opposed to the closest without going over. The tiebreaker is to be used, if after every game(including the Monday night game) 2 or more people have picked the same amount of games correctly. Each person should also write their name and their guess for the total points scored in the Monday night game in the spaces provided. If they were to lose by 5 or more the pick would be incorrect.Įach participant should put a check mark in the box provided beside the team that they think will "cover the spread". The participant picks Cleveland at +4.5(underdog), Cleveland can either win, or lose the game by up to 4 points and the pick is correct. Keep in mind that if a person picks the underdog, that team does not have to win, but instead can not lose by more points than the point spread. We will always use half-point-spreads so that there will never be any pushes/ties. In this example, for a pick to be correct, the favorite must win by 5 or more points. The team that has the minus sign is favored by 4.5 points and the team with the plus sign is the underdog by 4.5 points. If this is the case we will come up with the spread ourselves, this will ensure you have the full week to get your pool entries in.īeside each team's name you will see something like -4.5 or +4.5. ![]() You will then pass copies out to potential participants of your pool, having each participant try to correctly pick which team will cover the spread.ĭue to not knowing whether a key player will be able to participate in a game, there are some instances where the linesmakers may delay releasing the spreads until later in the week. Every week, on either Sunday or Monday, we will update the next week's sheet with the current Point Spread for each game. Our Spread 'Em pool is also known as an ATS or Against the Spread Pool. ![]()
