A first-of-its-kind bracket for the hottest hoops tournament around

Why let college basketball have all the fun? The GIST is launching its first-ever Women's Pro Basketball Playoffs bracket challenge — so you can have some skin in the game.

How to play

It's not just a trophy on the line — here's how you can enter for a chance to win The GIST's women's pro basketball bracket challenge.

  • If this is your first time filling out a bracket with The GIST, head to the top of this page and create an account. If you've filled one out for previous tournaments, sign in.
  • Points are awarded for every series winner you pick correctly. The value increases per round (quarter-finals are worth 2 Points, semifinals are worth 4 Points, and the finals are worth 6 Points). An additional 5 points will also be added if you guess the winner and series length correctly.
  • Any GISTer who predicts the combined final score of the championship-winning game (Team 1's points + Team 2's points) will receive an additional 5 points.
  • The deadline to submit a bracket is Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 p.m. ET, before the first quarter-final match begins.
  • Winners will be announced in The GIST's Sports News newsletter and on The GIST's socials, so keep an eye out.
