Rules
  • You get 1 team in each region. Teams are drawn randomly. Does not matter if you get a 1 or 16 seed. It's all about the point spread!

  • If your team wins and covers the point spread, your team advances with that team.

  • If your team loses and you cover the point spread, you then take over the team that won.

  • If your team wins and does not cover the point spread, you lose that team.

  • All ties go to the team getting points or the team with the lower seed on a PK (Pick).
  • Point spreads are taken first from CBS Sports, if no point spread is available on CBS Sports, we will then use FanDuel. Spreads are entered the morning of the games that day. They do not change once posted here on this website. No points given for a Pick (PK).

  • Payouts for each bracket are determined by your bracket organizer.

  • For corrections, please email us at hockeytowndet_19@yahoo.com

  • A "Thief!" is a team that was stolen from someone else, based on the favorite team failing to cover the point spread.
