How to enter
a. Go to Bracket Site
b. enter Pool ID 32228 | password sbrodds11

How to play:

  • Click Your Pick Entries -> Fill out a new entry
  • Predict the final order for each of the eight groups by dragging and dropping all 32 teams into the order you think they will finish within their group. The team you drag into the first slot for each group is your predicted winner of that group; 2nd is runner up, 3rd, then 4th. (pick deadline June 12 at 4PM ET)
  • Upon completion of the group stage games, return to the bracket to fill out the Knockout Stage games (pick deadline June 28 at 12PM ET). You must predict all 15 matches at this time through the championship, as well as a predicted total of championship game points (primary tiebreaker).
