March Madness Team Draft
Skip the busted bracket. Draft the tournament field with your friends, and your teams keep scoring for every win and upset right up to the title game.
How it works
A draft that survives the first weekend.
A bracket can be over by the second round. With a team draft, every win your teams pick up still counts.
Draft with friends
Invite your group and draft the field live, in snake order, from any phone or laptop.
Score each round
After each round, enter the games your teams won and who advanced. The standings update for everyone.
Scoring
Cinderella runs are worth drafting.
Upset wins earn extra, so a double-digit seed that makes a run can carry a team. Change the points to suit your group.

March Madness team draft questions
In a bracket, you predict every game and one bad weekend can knock you out. In a team draft, your group splits the field, and you earn points every time one of your teams wins, pulls an upset or advances. You stay in it for as long as your teams do.
Yes. The men's and women's tournaments each have their own template, so you can run one league or both.
The template opens once the field is announced, which leaves the days before the first games for your draft.
Every team in the field is loaded, including the opening-round teams, so whoever drafts them earns points from their first win.
Setting up is free. Create the group, load the field, invite everyone and configure the draft without paying anything, and your first scoring session is free too. A full-field draft and scoring every round are one-time purchases, with no subscription. See pricing.
