FAQ

Everything you need to know about Biscuit Bracket.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Biscuit Bracket has no login or account system. You fill out your bracket, submit it, and you're done.

How do I get back to my pool?

Bookmark the pool page after you submit! Since there are no accounts, the pool URL is the only way to find your pool again. You can also save the link your pool admin shared with you.

Can I edit my bracket after submitting?

No. Once you lock in your picks, they're final. Make sure you're happy with every pick before you hit submit.

What's the admin token?

When you create a pool, you receive a one-time admin token. This is your key to manage the pool later. Save it somewhere safe — it can't be recovered.

How is scoring calculated?

It depends on the scoring strategy chosen when the pool was created. There are three types of points that can factor into your score. Series Points are earned for correctly picking the winner of a series. Games Bonus points are awarded when you also predict the exact number of games in the series. Upset Bonus points are added when you correctly pick a lower-seeded team to win — the bonus equals the difference between the winner's seed and the loser's seed. For example, if the 4-seed beats the 1-seed, you earn 3 upset bonus points (4 minus 1). Upset points are not affected by round multipliers. Pools may also use Round Multipliers that increase the value of series and games points in later rounds.

Can I submit more than one bracket per pool?

No. Each email address can only submit one bracket per pool. This keeps things fair for everyone.

Is my email public?

No. Your email is only used behind the scenes to prevent duplicate entries. The leaderboard shows your team name, not your email.
