Bracket Blitz
Bracket prediction tournaments on Rising Tide Protocol. Pick winners, submit on-chain, climb the leaderboard.
Bracket Blitz is a bracket prediction app built on Rising Tide Protocol. Fill out a tournament bracket by picking winners round-by-round, submit your picks on-chain, and compete on a leaderboard as games resolve. Every submission is a numbered, collectible artifact - a permanent record of your picks.

Why a bracket pool belongs on chain
Every office pool runs the same risk: somebody picks the winning bracket, somebody else "remembers" picking the winning bracket, and there is no way to settle it. The signup spreadsheet got edited. The Slack message was deleted. The pool admin has the only copy and they are nowhere to be found.
Bracket Blitz fixes that by making the bracket itself a permanent, timestamped, signed record. Your picks are committed to the chain the moment you submit. The result is entered on the chain. The scoring is computed by the contract. The payout is automatic. There is nothing to dispute and nobody to chase.
It also means your bracket is yours - not a row in someone's spreadsheet. You can show it to anyone. You can keep it forever. You can transfer it. You can prove you picked it, exactly when, and exactly what.

How it differs from a typical bracket pool
| Typical bracket pool | Bracket Blitz |
|---|---|
| Hosted on someone's account | Lives on-chain, owned by you |
| Picks vanish after the tournament | Permanent, numbered, collectible |
| Pool admin tallies scores | Contract is the source of truth |
| Prize pool depends on the host | Encoded at tournament creation |
What a submitted bracket looks like
Every bracket is rendered through a visual template - your picks are part of the artifact, not just a payload. The same template system that powers Grammata pages and event tickets renders bracket SVGs, so a submitted bracket is a designed object you can display, share, or transfer.
Scoring at a glance
Points double with each round. The cap is 32 points per round, so deeper-round picks are worth more:
| Round | Multiplier | Total points (64-team) |
|---|---|---|
| Round of 64 (R1) | x1 | 32 |
| Round of 32 (R2) | x2 | 32 |
| Sweet 16 | x4 | 32 |
| Elite 8 | x8 | 32 |
| Final Four | x16 | 32 |
| Championship | x32 | 32 |
For a 64-team tournament the max score is 192. For 68-team with play-ins it's 196.
