Frequently Asked Questions

Is this free to use?

Yes, 100%.

Who Wins?

Each correct guess yields one point. We will update scores after each episode. Correct guesses are worth one point and bonus question guesses are worth three.

When do entries update?

We will post the updated scores after each episode.

What does the winner win?

Featured and private bracket pools are both competing for a sense of pride and accomplishment. However, feel free to up the stakes with your friends!

Can I submit the same death pool (entry) to multiple groups?

No, but you can submit identical entries to each group.

What if someone joins the army of the dead?

They're dead 💀.

Does the Night King count as dead or alive?

Our definition of "dead" is the character can be killed. So the Night King is alive, even though he commands The Army of the Dead.

What if we don't know for sure if someone has died?

If we don't see it happen on the screen, then we're counting them as alive. For example, when Brienne of Tarth left The Hound for dead, he would of been scored as alive.

What if someone comes back to life?

They will be considered dead until they are brought back to life. Once brought back to life, they will be considered alive. Their final state at the end of the season (dead or alive) is how the character will be scored.

What if something weird happens - like two characters are the same people?

We have a small council of Game of Thrones scholars that will have final say on all judgements.

Groups

What's the different between public and unlisted?

Public groups can be found by users on our website or joined by the link. Unlisted groups can only be joined by the share link.

Can we remove users from our group?

No, but if your group is unlisted only people with the link can join it. If you run into a problem user reach out to us at support@itsadate.app and we can take care of it.
