Multiple brackets per participant

By default, each participant can submit one bracket entry. You can allow multiple entries per participant, which increases engagement and lets participants hedge their predictions.

Enabling multiple entries

1. Go to Admin → Bracket competition → Settings
2. Under Entry limits, set Max entries per participant (1–5)
3. Save

How multiple entries work

When multiple entries are allowed, each participant can submit up to the configured number of separate brackets. Each bracket:

• Is submitted and scored independently
• Appears separately on the leaderboard
• Shows the participant’s name with a bracket number (e.g. “Alex Johnson — Bracket 2”)

The leaderboard shows all entries from all participants. A participant with three entries could occupy three separate leaderboard positions.

Leaderboard display options

For competitions with multiple entries, you can choose how the leaderboard handles a participant’s multiple brackets:

Option	Behaviour
Show all	Every bracket entry appears on the leaderboard separately (default)
Best only	Only a participant’s highest-scoring bracket appears
Average	A participant’s average score across all brackets appears

Configure in Admin → Bracket competition → Settings → Leaderboard.

Scoring and prizes

Multiple entries interact with prizes in an important way. If prizes are awarded to top leaderboard positions, a single participant could claim multiple prize positions if all their entries rank highly.

To prevent this, enable One prize per participant in Admin → Bracket competition → Prizes.

Tip

Multiple entries work especially well for March Madness-style brackets where picking a perfect bracket is nearly impossible. Allowing 2–3 entries lets participants try different champion predictions.

Note

Multiple entries are counted against your hub’s participant limit by participant, not by entry. A participant with 3 bracket entries still counts as 1 participant.
