Automated Bracket Pools
Run bracket pools for NFL Playoffs, March Madness, and more. Automated scoring, live standings, and no spreadsheets.
In plain English
Sports fans running a bracket pool for the NFL playoffs, March Madness, or another event can keep score here. Ernesto Cortés built the site so scoring happens for you and standings update while the games are going, with no spreadsheet to maintain. Players pay because keeping score by hand gets messy fast. The AI does a large share of the work and the billing. Ernesto Cortés still does a solid part of it, including quality, help for users, telling people about the site, and unusual cases.
