Creating and Joining Pools

Sign in with your Google account or email to get started. You can create a new pool and share the join code with friends, family, or coworkers. You can also browse and join public pools to compete against a wider field. Each pool supports multiple bracket entries per participant, and the pool creator can configure scoring rules and entry limits.

Filling Out Your Bracket

Once you join a pool, fill out your bracket by picking winners for all tournament games. If you want a data-driven starting point, TruPool offers AI-assisted bracket generation powered by TruRanking's Monte Carlo tournament simulation. You can use the AI suggestions as a baseline and then make manual adjustments based on your own instincts and knowledge.

Scoring and Leaderboards

Pools use a standard progressive scoring system where correct picks in later rounds are worth more points. As tournament games are played, scores update automatically and the leaderboard reflects real-time standings. You can track how your bracket compares to others in your pool, see which picks are still alive, and monitor your potential maximum score based on remaining games.
