How to Play
Start with Smart Picks
Winning picks made Pre-Tournament get the most points. Exciting to play and challenging to win.
Switch Losing Picks
Switch teams during live games to keep points - more points sooner, less later. Last time to switch @ 4:00 to go!
Exciting Game Play
Switch picks only during TV timeouts. Pressure is on. 2 minute clock is counting down. Make that call!
Track Original Bracket
Are you old school? We're tracking your original picks too. See both leaderboards and compete twice as hard.
Points Increase in Late Rounds
Total points available in a game increase in later rounds, and impact on any switch only increases too. Stick or switch? Make the call!
Strategy. Instincts. Cinderella Magic.
You just might need all three to come out on top!

Dan, St. Louis MO
"After getting killed by some upsets in the first and second rounds, the ability to change winners really kept me interested in both my bracket and the tournament."
Annie, Boston MA
"It was great. I watched so many more games. Made it so much more fun and I was still in the running because everyone was able to switch teams. Brilliant way to do it."
