BEFORE TIPOFF
A few good
questions.
Is this a traditional bracket pool?
No. You choose 10 teams across the required seed groups, rather than predicting every game in a bracket. Your selected teams earn points whenever they win.
How do I join my friends?
Download PlayTheField, create an account, and join a private pool using the invite code shared by its host.
What happens if one of my teams loses?
That team stops earning new points. Its points from earlier wins still count toward your total.
Does PlayTheField handle wagers or cash prizes?
No. PlayTheField is for recreational competition. It does not support player entry fees, payment instructions, cash prizes, or payout management. It does not accept wagers or collect, hold, or distribute player funds.
Where can I get the app?
PlayTheField is available in the US on iPhone and Android. App Store ↗ Google Play ↗
