BracketCrew: Bracket Challenge

Fill your bracket. Beat your crew.

Bracket Crew is a college basketball bracket challenge built for friend groups – the office, the family, the group chat. Start a crew, share the six-letter code and everyone joins free. No ads. No sign-up. No betting – just bragging rights.

THE BRACKET
• Pick all 63 games of the 64-team bracket (plus the play-in slots) for the men's and the women's tournament
• Quick mode: big team cards, one game at a time – a full bracket in minutes
• The full sheet: every region at a glance, your picks glowing in school colours, zoom out to see the whole bracket
• Champion, last four and a tiebreaker for the title game
• Live scoring: results update by themselves, with points and the maximum each bracket can still reach
• Busted early? A second-chance bracket from the last 16

YOUR CREW
• Crews with a join code or invite link – no accounts, no passwords
• Your chance to win the crew, free: thousands of simulations after every game
• The crew feed: new brackets, busted champions, weekly winners, 16 reactions and 36 trash-talk lines – all free
• Alerts that matter (max 2 a day): your champion is out, a nudge, trash talk aimed at you
• Brackets stay hidden until tip-off – no copying
• Crew owners choose the scoring: classic 10-20-40-80-160-320, simple 1-2-4-8-16-32, or custom points with upset bonuses
• Share a bracket poster to the group chat

SOMETHING TO PLAY EVERY DAY UNTIL MARCH
• Practice brackets: every tournament since 1985 (men) and 1994 (women). Fill one blind, then watch the reveal round by round
• Throwback Week: the same past bracket for every crew
• The crew pick'em league: the five best college basketball games of each game day, a weekly table and a crown for the winner every Monday
