Win Your Bracket Pool
Monte Carlo simulation finds the bracket that maximizes your probability of finishing first — not just picking the most winners.
Most bracket tools optimize for total points. We optimize for P(rank = 1) — the only stat that matters in a pool.
25,000+ Simulations
We simulate the entire tournament thousands of times, score every bracket in your pool, and measure how often yours finishes first. Not expected points — actual win probability.
Ownership Modeling
If 40% of your pool picks the same champion, that pick has less leverage. We model what your opponents will pick and find contrarian selections that maximize your edge.
Pool-Size Aware
The optimal bracket for a 10-person office pool is different from a 1,000-person public contest. Larger pools demand more differentiation. We account for this.
Constraint-Friendly
Lock in your champion, set regional winners, or limit upsets. The optimizer respects your constraints while still finding the best bracket within them.
How It Works
Enter your pool settings
Pool size, scoring system (ESPN standard, Yahoo, or custom), and how sharp your opponents are.
Set your constraints
Lock a champion, require certain teams in the Final Four, or set a minimum number of upsets. Optional but powerful.
Get your optimized bracket
The optimizer runs 25,000+ tournament simulations, generates opponent brackets using an ownership model, and hill-climbs to the bracket with the highest P(rank = 1).
Coming for March Madness 2026
The bracket optimizer launches when the field is announced on Selection Sunday, March 15. Enter your pool settings, get your optimized bracket.
