How to play

It's not just a gold medal on the line — here's how you can enter for a chance to win cash prizes with your picks.

  • Once eight teams advance out of the group stage, pick your winners for the quarter-finals, semifinals, and gold medal match. You can enter up to three brackets — but make sure you fill them out completely.
  • Points are awarded for every game picked correctly. The value increases per round (quarter-finals are worth 2 Points, while semifinals are worth 4 Points and the gold medal match is worth 6 Points).
  • In the event of a tie, the GISTer who most closely predicts the total amount of stoppage time in the gold medal match wins.
  • The deadline to submit a bracket is Saturday, August 3 at 8:59 a.m. ET, before the first quarter-final match begins.
  • Winners will be announced in The GIST's Sports News newsletter and on The GIST's socials, so keep an eye out.
