FAQs

We have 3 different league types for you to choose from on the site.

1. First Impression
2. Rose to Rose
3. Advanced

You can learn more about how each league type works here.

You have a few choices: create your own league, browse public leagues, or  join a private league through an email invitation.

A public league can be joined by anyone, while a private league requires a special invitation to join. If you’re creating the league, you get to choose, so decide how exclusive you’re feeling and go for it.

Picks will be available as soon as the current season’s contestants are officially announced by ABC.

We’re glad you asked. This is the most important part of the game. Before each rose ceremony, you will be given a certain number of picks. This number may vary depending on your league type. Simply navigate to the My Picks page and select your favorites. Once you’ve chosen the right number of contestants, be sure to select Save.

Brackets will lock immediately when the episode begins on the East Coast to avoid spoilers for anyone. West Coast – this means you need to make sure your picks are made a few hours before each episode.

To allow for automated scoring, all rules for the Advanced league will be chosen by Bach Bracket. These rules will be solidified and announced prior to the beginning of new season. You can see the rules for the current season by navigating to your League Scoreboard and clicking on the Rules tab.

We post a scoring recap every week that lets you know what points were awarded & why for each league type. You can find it under the Extras section on the navigation menu.

Scores are posted an hour or so after the episode ends on the west coast.*

*Rose to Rose & First Impression leagues are updated only after episodes which contain a rose ceremony. 

First Impression leagues do not score until RC2. No points are awarded until after the second rose ceremony airs.

Ask your commissioner to reopen your league by following the directions below.

You can join a league any time throughout the season!

Please don’t! We promise we are on top of any issues as soon as they occur. If the site is experiencing a major outage, check our Twitter feed (@bachbrack) for the latest updates!

For Advanced Leagues, the site is scored by episode so only one set of picks needs to be made for each new night the show is aired. For Rose to Rose leagues, we always recommend you set & save two brackets at a time – just in case there are 2 ceremonies in one night.

If only one ceremony ends up happening, we will unlock the second ceremony & allow you to edit your picks before the next week’s episode airs.

There are four ways to add a person to your league. The first, and easiest, is by navigating to your league & copying the league’s unique link. You can send this link to the user. Your link should look something like:

https://bachelorette.bachbracket.com/leagues/2684/

You can also share your league via Facebook, Twitter or by email.

If no other ceremonies are active on the website & you’ve unlocked brackets, players can still make picks, but it will not be under the “My Picks” area in the main navigation.

Instead, users will need to navigate to the league itself, click on the Info tab, and click the “Make Picks” link next to the Rose Ceremony # that you’ve unlocked.

At this time, we do not have this feature. We are working on adding in custom point awards in the future, though, so stay tuned and let us know if you have questions in the meantime.

As a workaround, you can unlock past ceremonies and have a player select correct/incorrect contestants accordingly.

No. Everyone must enter their own picks on their own account.
