How Do You Run An NCAA Tournament Pool?
The NCAA men’s college basketball tournament is a month-long event that captivates sports fans around the country. One reason is the NCAA tournament pool. Entrants fill out blank NCAA tournament brackets, choosing the winner of all 63 games during the tournament. Knowing the basics of running such a pool is key to keeping those participating in your pool happy. Determine the maximum number of people you want in the pool. Factors that impact this decision are whether the pool is just for members of your office and if you’re hosting the pool using an Internet service–such as Yahoo!, ESPN or CBS Sportsline. Knowing the “cut-off” number before you tell others about the pool gives you the option of declining entry into the tournament pool at your discretion. However, there doesn’t have to be a limit at all. Choose the entry fee. Consult with friends and other potential entrants before setting this fee so people are not dissuaded from entering the pool.
