What credits buy
Credits run the Simulator at full size. It plays the whole tournament thousands of times, game by game, with the model's odds (and your own weights, if you set them), then reports how often each team reaches each round and builds a bracket from it. Every run is free until Selection Sunday, March 14, when the real bracket is announced; costs below apply from then.
Free
Quick preview, 1,000 tournaments
Runs every time you change a setting. Great for seeing the shape of things, but a long shot's title odds can move a few points from one run to the next.
10 credits
Full run, 10,000 tournaments
Ten times the games, so the odds settle down: good to within about a point for most teams. The run to use before you lock in a bracket.
30 credits
Deep run, 50,000 tournaments
For telling apart two close calls, like which 12 seed is likelier to reach the Sweet 16, where even 10,000 runs can't split them.
Why run more than one?
- Test a theory. Weight defense, experience or recent form, or pick a team to root for, and see how the whole field shifts.
- Fill more than one bracket. Different pools reward different risks: a chalky bracket for a small office pool, a bold one for a big contest.
- Check again as March goes. Ratings change with every game, and the real bracket arrives on Selection Sunday.
100 free credits cover 10 full runs, plenty for a bracket or two. Credits don't expire, and all purchases are final. Team pages, the Matchup Lab, Data and the Bracket Builder never cost anything.
