How does it work?
Register, then pick the winner for each game up to 20 minutes before it is scheduled to start. If you don't pick in time the computer will select the most picked team for you. So, instead of predicting the entire tournament before it happens, you get to pick the winner of each game as it goes along. This means you can still be a winner even if you sign up late.
If you would rather make all of your picks before the tournament starts, we've got you covered. Click on the red "Pick Upfront" tab near the top of this page.
Better yet, play both versions of the contest for two shots at a million dollars.
Are there prizes?
Yes! You could win $1,000,000 if you pick all of the games correctly. You could win $10,000 if you only miss one or two games.
And, you could win $1,000 if you only miss three games. For more details (including how ties are broken) see our rules page.
Additionally, the local player with the best score will win a $100 BP gas card. The national grand prize for the player with the highest score is a 16GB iPod Touch sponsored by Upickem and
a Presidents Series Watch sponsored by Game Time Shop.
See all prizes.
If the tournament has already started can I still play?
Yes, you can sign up at any point during the tournament.
Can I play with a "private group" of friends and family?
Yes. After you register and log in, just click on "My Private Groups" which will appear in the upper-left hand corner of the page. After that page loads, click on "Create a Private Group" and follow the instructions.
