It’s pretty simple to play. First off, you have to have a Bodog account. So log in and click on the Bracket Buster tab. You will be asked to create a screen name. This will be different from any Bodog sign-in name, it’s just the way you will be shown in this contest for both public and private leagues. Creating a screen name automatically registers for the public league – i.e. every player who signs up – and makes you eligible for cash prizes. But then you can also create a private league if you want to compete just against friends and family. If you do, Bodog will send an email link and the information to them when you enter it. You will be the one choosing the league name and password, we just forward it along to the email addresses you provide. Only the creator of the private league can invite other players.

If you aren’t the creator of a private league but have been “challenged” simply click on the link we provide. It’s simple. And we’re just assuming you know by now how to fill out a bracket – just pick the winner of every game, all the way through the national championship. Don’t forget to include total points in the NCAA final as a potential tiebreaker. While the NCAA has unveiled the First Four this year, we are not going to include those games in Bracket Buster 11. It’s just too quick of a turnaround with the first two of those four “play-in games” starting on Tuesday. We want to give everyone ample time to study.

The grand prize winner in the public league gets a cool $5,000. But all the way down to 500th gets some sort of monetary prize. What does the winner of your private league get? Well, that’s totally up to you. But of course you can also bet on every NCAA game at Bodog.

Madness would be missing out on Bracket Buster 11 at Bodog!
