How to use it in an office pool
- Print one bracket per person (page 1 = opening round, page 2 = main tree).
- After Selection Sunday, write team names on seed lines and circle winners game by game.
- Score with your pool's preset (see table below) and use total points in the championship as a tiebreaker if you need one.
Opening-round options for pools
Option A: Run the twelve opening-round games for bonus points before the Round of 64.
Option B: Ignore opening-round games on the sheet and start main-bracket picks at the Round of 64 (63 picks). Many offices use Option B for simplicity.

What you get on the printout
Twelve opening-round lines (OR-1 through OR-12). The main bracket uses a landscape tree with Round of 64 seed numbers, winner feeds, Final Four, championship, and a tiebreaker. Opening-round teams are placed on seed lines by the committee after selection, not fixed to a region in advance.
FAQ
Do I have to pick opening-round games?
No. Your commissioner can use Option A (bonus picks) or Option B (63-pick main bracket only). Decide before you print and post the rules.
When should I print it?
Print after Selection Sunday once seed lines are set, or print blanks early and fill names in by hand as the bracket is announced.
Is the women's bracket also 76 teams?
Yes. The women's NCAA tournament field is also expanding to 76 teams with its own opening round. This printable follows the men's 2027 layout; use the same opening-round options for a women's pool if your group runs one.
