ABC
There are only ten women left on Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor, which means we’re a little more than halfway to the finale, and that means fantasy leagues are starting to heat up. For those wondering how, or if, you and your friends can join a Bachelor fantasy league at this point in the season, look no further.
To join a league or even start your own league, you can head on over to Bach Bracket by clicking here. Each league on Bach Bracket allows you to choose which contestants you think will earn the rose and which ones you think will be left without one at the end of the week. To get started, all you have to do is create an account on the site.
There are additional online leagues available if Bach Bracket isn’t quite what you’re looking for. Brackets in all leagues lock at the time of the east coast airing of the show, so west coast players can’t use the time difference to their advantage.
It’s definitely not too late to download a paper bracket and print it out. You can do that by clicking here or here.
If you’re a Bachelor superfan or expert and find yourself wanting something more involved, you can go to My Bachelor Fantasy and recruit your friends, coworkers or family in on a league. The team there recommends having at least eight people in on your league, but you can make it work with fewer people.
You just have to sit down (physically or virtually) with your league members and have a draft. You can start a league whenever, but right now is a perfect time to do so since the season is about to get even more intense.

How Scoring Works – My Bachelor Fantasy

Advanced leagues: make picks for Episode 6 🌹

If you choose to go the route of starting or joining a “My Bachelor Fantasy” league, scoring is a little complicated. Each Bachelor contestant receives points for the following line items once per episode. The scores are posted online by the Friday following the episode. You gain points for your contestants when they do any of the following, once per episode:
5 POINTS
Being called last during rose ceremony
Hot Tubbing
10 POINTS
Attending group date
Attending a concert
Riding in a helicopter/private jet
Riding a horse
Being attached to a harness

*Note that if a contestant professes love in more than one of the starred categories, they should be awarded points based on the highest scoring profession of love
Whichever member of your league has the most points at the end of the season wins your league. When you start the league, you can choose a prize or trophy for the winner. You can also set your own ‘wild card’ point categories. You can download a scoring sheet here.
How Scoring Works – Bach Bracket Advanced Leagues
