Full Court — College Basketball Tournament Simulator
23 April 2026
One Roll. One Winner.
Full Court is a dice-driven college basketball tournament simulator. Every game is resolved with a single d20 roll per team — no board, no app, no setup required.
A full 64-team bracket takes around 90 minutes. A single game takes two minutes. Bring a die and a bracket sheet.
How It Works
Every team has a Team Strength Rating (TSR) derived from their Net Rating — the most reliable predictor of tournament performance.
Before rolling, look up both teams' base scores on the included matrix. Find your TSR on the row, the opponent's on the column. That's your base score — no calculation needed.
Then roll a d20. A roll of 1 is a collapse (-18). A 20 is a historic night (+22). Everything in between is the drama of March.
Add the modifier to the base score. Higher total advances.
The ratings do the heavy lifting. The dice provide the upsets.
