How It Works

• The pool admin creates the pool, enters a list of names, and everyone is randomly assigned teams from the 64-team NCAA bracket.
• Works for 2-64 people.
• Based on the number of entries, each person will start with multiple teams. For example, if 8 people enter, each person would start with 8 teams. Our system will randomly distrubute teams throughout the bracket sections.
• Each game uses the point spread to determine advancement.
• If your team wins AND covers or matches the spread, your team advances to the next round.
• If your team loses but covers the spread, you take over the winning team for the next round.
• If your team wins but fails to cover, the losing team's owner takes over your winning team.
• The person who owns the team that covers the spread in the championship game wins the pool.
• Optional prizes can be awarded to owners after each round based on how many teams they have left, or just to the final winner. For example, anyone who makes the final four gets a prize.
• Follow along live on your live leaderboard to see the takeover action unfold.
• Watch as the bracket dynamically updates to show which entries control which teams after each game.

Pricing

If you get more than 4 people entered you'll have to pay the $20 fee for the pool. This is only paid by the pool admin. Pools with 4 or fewer entries are free.

Why Play Takeover?

The Takeover Head to Head Pool is a fun and competitive way to enjoy March Hoops with friends, family, or coworkers. You don't have to worry about filling out a bracket.

It doesn't matter which team you have since the point spread levels the playing field. It's exciting to see the bracket update in real-time as teams are taken over and advance throughout the tournament.

It's a great way to stay engaged with every game of the tournament, not just the ones involving your favorite teams.

Plus, it's a lot of fun to root for your teams to cover the spread, even if they end up losing the game.
