Draft Teams.
Try to Keep Them.
Favorites that fall short of the margin lose their teams. Strategize your draft, read the matchups, and own the champion to win.
Old Brackets Are Boring
You know the drill. Fill out a bracket, lose half your picks on day one, stop caring by Sunday.
- ✗Pick winners on paper
No strategy. Just guess and hope.
- ✗Eliminated after day 2
One upset and you're done watching.
- ✗Same picks as everyone else
No rivalry. No drama. No reason to talk trash.
- ✗Nothing happens during games
You check scores once, sigh, close the app.
- ✓Snake draft with friends
Take turns picking real teams. Trash talk built in.
- ✓Higher seed can steal lower seed at any time
Teams change hands every round. Underdogs can keep you alive.
- ✓Steal teams on the spread
Favorite wins but doesn't cover? That team is yours now.
- ✓Every point matters
You're screaming at the TV because 3 points decides who owns Duke.
Why Every Game Stays Competitive
Most bracket pools are over after the first weekend. This one isn’t.
If a favored team wins but does not exceed the point margin, ownership shifts to their opponent’s drafter.
Needs to win by > 7
Covered the Spread
Kansas won the game on the court, but they didn’t cover the 7-point spread. Ownership transfers to the underdog’s player — keeping every matchup competitive.
Draft a mid-seed and still have a real shot to win it all.
Low seeds are not dead on arrival.

How It Works
The commissioner sets up the pool, players draft teams, and everyone competes as games unfold.
Create a Pool
Set the draft speed, choose your player count, and share an invite link. Your pool is live in under two minutes.
Snake Draft Your Squad
Take turns picking real teams in a fair snake-draft order. Live, slow, or auto-pick — your call.
Watch Ownership Transfer
Follow live scores and real spreads. When a favorite wins but doesn’t cover, their team transfers to the opposing player. The player who owns the champion wins.
Built on Strategy. Not Just Luck.
This isn’t a coin flip. The spread adds a strategic layer that rewards analysis.
Study the Matchups
A 5-seed with a favorable draw might be worth more than a 1-seed everyone expects to cover. Draft smarter.
Read the Spreads
Ownership transfers are driven by real spreads. The tighter the margin, the more likely a steal. Watch for opportunities.
Own the Champion
63 games. 6 rounds. Steals happening every round. The player who owns the team that wins it all takes the crown.
