BitPay Bracket Rules

  • Coins are ranked by market cap (as of 3/3/22), seeded and matched up against each other.
  • Voting is open to all. Select a coin from each match and submit your votes. One vote per email address.
  • Once each round ends, we will tally all the votes to see which coin moves onto the next round. A total of 4 voting rounds will take place.
  • In order to be entered into the prize drawing, you must vote in all four rounds of the tournament and use the same email address to submit your votes.
  • Why isn’t Bitcoin/Ethereum included? BitPay Brackets is intended to showcase the next big cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and Ethereum are already leading coins, so we’ve omitted them to make room for a more diverse set of coins.
