During March Madness, many people fill out brackets predicting who will win each game of the tournament. Each prediction earns the person a certain amount of points. The deeper the rounds go, the higher amount of points are awarded to correct predictions. PPR is typically seen in online bracket challenges, such as ESPN, Yahoo, and CBS, to calculate how many points can still be earned from bracket predictions.

Now the real third space is Discord servers, apparently.
