Want to start a fantasy league for Graziadei's season? Here's what to know

Ever heard of “Fantasy Football?” A "Bachelor Bracket" is exactly like that; however, instead of downing mountains of hot wings and beer watching athletes fighting to reach playoffs and the Super Bowl championship, a “Bachelor” bracket consists of wine nights watching contestants looking for love.

A “Bachelor Bracket” allows you to literally bet on love by having players earn points to correctly choose which contestants will advance each week. Some brackets might have players pick their top contestants the first week and stick with them until the finale, while others will allow those to choose new contestants each week.

To make it easier before the premiere date, here are some free websites for you to set up a team and make your own individual brackets:

• Bracketology.tv

• Bachelor Fantasy League

• Guess the Rose

When signing up, each website has its own system and set of rules. Read through the rules and make sure your “Golden Bachelor” squad knows how it works before starting your own bracket.

You can also create your own to hand out at your weekly “bachelor” viewing parties. There are some Etsy sellers sell print templates for under $10.
