Welcome to AnteNow! These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the AnteNow mobile application ("App") operated by AnteNow ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
By accessing or using AnteNow, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App.
AnteNow is a bracket pool management application that allows users to create and join bracket pools for college basketball (March Madness) and college football tournaments. Users make picks, track live scores, and compete on leaderboards with friends and family. The App offers both free and premium subscription tiers.
AnteNow is for entertainment purposes only. The App does not facilitate, promote, or support real-money gambling or wagering of any kind.
AnteNow uses a progressive scoring system for bracket pools. Points increase with each round to reward correct picks deeper into the tournament.
Each player fills out their own bracket. Points are awarded for each correct pick:
| Round | Points per Correct Pick |
|---|---|
| Round 1 (Round of 64) | 1 point |
| Round 2 (Round of 32) | 2 points |
| Sweet 16 | 4 points |
| Elite 8 | 8 points |
| Final Four | 16 points |
| Championship | 32 points |
The player with the highest total score at the end of the tournament wins the pool.
In Teams mode, players pair up into teams of 2. For each game, the team scores if either teammate picked the correct winner. This "Best Ball" format means you benefit from your partner's correct picks even when yours are wrong.
Team scores are calculated using the same point values per round as Individual mode. Teams are ranked on the leaderboard by combined team score.
Important Subscription Information:
| Plan | Pool Limit | Player Limit | Teams Mode |
