How the bracket builder works

- 2. Call the best thirds. Tag the 8 third place teams you expect to advance to the Round of 32.
- 3. Build the knockout. Advance a winner for every match from the Round of 32 to the Final, and crown your champion.

- • One live leaderboard that syncs across all your friend groups.
- • Redraft when a pick busts so you stay in it to the Final.
- • A share card built to pop in the group chat.
