With BracketBids, you can create your own league, invite your friends, family and coworkers, and bid against one another as each of you vie to win your favorite teams for the upcoming college hoops tournaments. With BracketBids, everyone can play. The goal is to outwit and outbid your fellow league members in order to secure the teams that you feel will go the furthest in the tournament. The more games your teams win, the more points you win and the higher you climb up your league’s standings. With our set salary cap, auction rules, and scoring models, anyone can play and enjoy both the men's and the women's basketball tournaments like never before. Before the first tip in the Round of 64, enjoy a live auction with your league members. Each of you will bid to secure your favorite teams for the upcoming tournament. Once the auction is finished, sit back and enjoy the games while your teams compete, and you climb up your league's leaderboard.
