After the teams are seeded, make your picks before noon on Saturday, April 13, 2019.
The NBA bracket is just like the NCAA Men's bracket -- fill out the entire bracket and submit. Brackets submitted with invalid email addresses will be disqualified.
- Round 1 = 1 point
- Round 2 = 2 points
- Round 3 = 3 points
- Round 4 = 4 points
You can win Upset Bonus Points in ALL Rounds using the seed differential method.
If you pick a lower seeded team (Underdog) to beat a higher seeded team (Favorite), you will win bonus points equal to the difference between the two seeds if the Underdog beats the Favorite in their match-up round.
Example: If you pick an #8 seed to beat a #1 seed you will be awarded 7 points in addition to the standard round points if the Underdog #8 seed team wins.
