Continue this until all of the names have been drawn, and all of the blank lines have been filled. The first name drawn will go on the first blank line in the tournament bracket, the second name drawn will go on the second blank line. Place the name of each player or team in a hat, and begin drawing the names one at a time. You can also use the 'Hat Drawing' method. The drawing can be done in various ways, we first recomment using our Tournament Matchup Randomizer for this. Now you are ready to draw for the positions. Once the number of players or teams has been determined you will need to print the corresponding tournament bracket from below. The tournament usually begins by having a certain amount of players register for the tournament.

For more details check out How To Run a Single Elimination Tournament or How To Run a Double Elimination Tournament. These tournaments can be either single elimination or double elimination. The match-ups are based solely on the luck of the draw. A Blind Draw tournament is organized in a way that the players are not ranked based on previous results or experience. A Blind Draw Tournament is usually ran during events such as Darts, Cornhole, and Billiards.

There are basically two ways to run single and double elimination tournaments, one is 'Blind Draw' the other is 'Seeded'. The pool administrator does not say which games will be picked ATS, but instead each participant has the option of picking which games they are most confident will cover the spread and which games they are most confident in just a team winning.At the bottom of this page you will find a list of printable Blind Draw tournament brackets that we have available. My favorite way to run this pool is to allow the participants to choose half of the games against the spread and the other half as a straight pick 'em pool. Simply total up the number of games each person has picked correctly, the person with the highest total is the winner. I prefer to use the person that is simply the closest to the total points scored, as opposed to the closest without going over. The tiebreaker is to be used, if after every game(including the Monday night game) 2 or more people have picked the same amout of games correctly. Each person should also write their name and their guess for the total points scored in the Monday night game in the spaces provided. If they were to lose by 5 or more the pick would be incorrect.Įach participant should put a check mark in the box provided beside the team that they think will 'cover the spread'. The participant picks Cleveland at +4.5(underdog), Cleveland can either win, or lose the game by up to 4 points and the pick is correct. Keep in mind that if a person picks the underdog, that team does not have to win, but instead can not lose by more points than the point spread. We will always use half-point-spreads so that there will never be any pushes/ties. In this example, for a pick to be correct, the favorite must win by 5 or more points.

The team that has the minus sign is favored by 4.5 points and the team with the plus sign is the underdog by 4.5 points.

If this is the case we will come up with the spread ourselves, this will ensure you have the full week to get your pool entries in.īeside each team's name you will see something like -4.5 or +4.5. You will then pass copies out to potential participants of your pool, having each participant try to correctly pick which team will cover the spread.ĭue to not knowing whether a key player will be able to participate in a game, there are some instances where the linesmakers may delay releasing the spreads until later in the week.

Every week, on either Sunday or Monday, we will update the next week's sheet with the current Point Spread for each game. Our Spread 'Em pool is also known as an ATS or Against the Spread Pool.
