If you're looking to run an NBA playoffs pool, we offer multiple flexible formats to help you manage everything with ease.
Our free tournament bracket generator lets you create an NBA playoff bracket that you can print or manage online. Players submit their bracket picks directly on our site, and we handle the rest — tracking picks, calculating standings, and showing stats like the most-picked teams.
You just enter the playoff teams and advance winners as games conclude. We even send automatic pick reminders before your chosen deadline. Learn more on our Custom Bracket Pool info page.
Want something different? Try a Rankem pool. Before the playoffs start, each player ranks the playoff teams from 1 to 16 (or however many are in your bracket). Players earn the points they assigned to a team each time that team wins a series. The strategy? Assign higher values to the teams expected to go deeper in the playoffs — especially your NBA Finals pick.
Prop Bets let you build a pool based on questions you configure. Example: "Which team will score the most points in the 1st quarter?" Players earn points for correct answers, and you set the scoring rules. Once the real-world results are in, enter the correct answers and we’ll update player scores automatically. Learn more about this format on our Prop Bet Pool page.
