Playoff team draft questions
Before the postseason starts, your group drafts the playoff teams in turns until every team has an owner. Your teams earn points for each game they win, each round they advance, each upset, and the championship. The drafter whose teams score the most wins.
There are templates for the MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL postseasons, the College Football Playoff, and the men's and women's college basketball tournaments. Each opens as soon as that year's playoff field is set.
The draft handles uneven splits, so some drafters simply get one more team than others. You can also set the number of picks yourself.
Once per playoff round. After a round finishes, enter each team's results and the standings update for everyone.
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. Larger drafts and extra scoring rounds are one-time purchases, with no subscription. See pricing.
