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.
- Navigate to the "Make your picks" page and pick your series winners for the quarter-finals, semifinals, and finals by clicking on the team you think will advance. For each matchup, you will also predict how many games the series will last. You can enter up to three brackets — but make sure you fill them out completely.
- 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.
- Check back to see how your bracket's doing on the live leaderboard.
- Winners will be announced in The GIST's Sports News newsletter and on The GIST's socials, so keep an eye out.
- Want more? Follow us, listen to our podcast, and subscribe to our newsletter for updates. Hoop to it!
