The Bracket in 30 Seconds
Scoring at a Glance
The deeper your pick goes, the more it’s worth.
The details, edge cases and everything else you need to know.
A Bracket Challenge is the ultimate test of prediction skill — a fan-favourite format where you pick winners round by round and watch your bracket rise or fall with every match. If you’ve ever filled out a March Madness bracket, you already know the thrill.
You’ll lock in your picks before the tournament begins, earning points for every correct prediction as the field narrows. The deeper your picks go, the more they’re worth — turning every upset, comeback, and match point into high-stakes drama.
It’s simple, competitive, and wildly fun. One perfect run can separate you from the field and put you on top of the leaderboard.
- Pick the winners across the full US Open singles bracket before lock. Once the tournament begins, your selections are locked — you ride with your picks.
- Points are awarded for each correct pick, increasing each round (Round of 128 through Final). Correct picks deeper in the tournament are worth more.
- The leaderboard is ordered by total points. Ties are broken in this fixed order:
- 1. Total points. The higher score finishes ahead.
- 2. Possible points remaining. The most a bracket could still score from players who have not been eliminated.
- 3. The tiebreaker guess. Closest to the actual number of games played in the final.
- 4. Earliest entry. If two guesses are equally close, the bracket submitted first wins.
- An entrant who left the tiebreaker blank ranks below every entrant who answered it.
