Terms of Use
Simple terms for using The Round Robin website, bracketology tools, and calculator features.
Using This Site
By using this site, you agree to use it lawfully and responsibly. You may use the tools for personal, informational, and editorial purposes.
The Round Robin is a DBA (assumed business name) of Hansell Ventures LLC, an Illinois limited liability company.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use this site. By using any paid feature or subscription, you represent that you are at least 18 years old, or that you have the consent of a parent or guardian.
Tool Data and Local Storage
To keep tools usable between visits, this site stores some data in your browser localStorage:
- bracketology-board-state for bracket board assignments,
- paymon-scores for calculator outputs, and
- bracketology-theme for theme preferences.
This storage is controlled by your browser. You are responsible for managing and clearing your local data if needed.
Paid Features, Billing, and Subscriptions
Some features on this site may require payment. If you purchase a subscription or paid feature, your payment is processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. By completing a purchase, you authorize us to charge your payment method on the applicable billing schedule.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period and you retain access through that date.
If you're not satisfied within your first 14 days, contact us and we'll issue a full refund — no questions asked. After that window, we don't offer refunds for completed billing periods, but you'll keep full access through the end of the period you've already paid for.
Annual plans are non-refundable after the initial 14-day window. If you cancel an annual plan, you retain access through your renewal date.
If you believe you were charged in error, reach out and we'll make it right.
Pricing is subject to change. We will provide reasonable notice before any price change takes effect for existing subscribers.
Free Tier
The Round Robin is free to use with some limitations. The free tier includes one saved bracket version, image-only export (CSV export requires a paid plan), and display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. You can use Bracket Studio without creating an account — that bracket version is saved only on the device and browser you used, with no cross-device access. Signing in with Google (still free) syncs that one saved version to your account so it's available from any device.
By using the free tier, you acknowledge that ads may appear and that advertising networks may use cookies or similar technologies to show you relevant ads. You can manage your ad preferences at any time — see our Privacy Policy for details.
Content and Accuracy
We work to provide accurate, timely information, but we cannot guarantee every data point, ranking, or projection is error-free or always up to date.
Bracketology content is opinionated analysis, not official NCAA guidance or decisions.
Liability Disclaimer
This site and its tools are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Round Robin and its operators are not liable for damages or losses arising from your use of (or inability to use) the site, including reliance on bracket projections, metrics, or calculator outputs.
Third-Party Links and Services
Some pages may link to third-party websites. We do not control third-party content or privacy practices and are not responsible for them.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of this site will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Illinois. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
