Bracketocracy (“Licensed Application”) is a mobile application developed for iOS and Android devices. The purpose of the Bracketocracy app is to allow users to create, manage, and participate in college basketball tournament brackets, track results throughout the playoffs, and compete with friends, family, or other users. The primary functionality of the app enables users to: ● Create custom college basketball brackets by selecting winners for each matchup (Team 1 vs Team 2) in every round of the tournament. ● Predict game outcomes round-by-round, with selected teams automatically advancing through the bracket all the way to the championship. ● Join leagues. ● Compete with friends using league invitations. ● Track live game results and monitor bracket progress throughout the tournament. ● View league standings, rankings, and scoring updates in real time. ● Manage multiple brackets across different leagues. ● Receive notifications related to league activity, invitations, and updates. ● Chat with friends within leagues through in-app messaging. Bracketocracy is designed to enhance the traditional bracket experience by introducing flexible gameplay mechanics that help users stay engaged even if early upsets occur. The app provides a competitive and interactive environment where users can enjoy the excitement of tournament play without losing full participation due to a single unexpected result.
