The Bracket Games feature provides an engaging way for users to predict outcomes across multiple fixtures in tournament-style competitions. Rather than just predicting individual matches, users forecast results throughout an entire tournament bracket, creating a more immersive and challenging experience that can span days or weeks of competition.
How Bracket Games Work
Bracket Games allow users to predict the outcomes of multiple related fixtures within a competition structure. For tournaments like the ICC Champions Trophy 🏏, where eight teams play in 2 pools of four in a round-robin format, with the top two teams in each pool playing in the semi-finals, users predict:
- Results of all initial group stage matches
- Results of semifinal and final matches
💡 The system accommodates the tournament's progressive nature by allowing placeholder entities (like "A1" representing "Winner of Group A") for stages where participants aren't yet determined. If you'd like to see a real-world implementation of this feature for the ICC Champions Trophy, check out the Video in our article.
Key Benefits
Bracket Games significantly enhance user engagement by maintaining interest over extended periods throughout a tournament. This leads to higher-value participation, with the potential to offer substantial rewards for correctly predicting multiple outcomes. The feature is especially valuable for:
- Tournaments with group stages and knockout rounds
- Competitions requiring long-term user commitment
- Events where you want to increase prediction difficulty and engagement
