Custom Scoring - Pick-The-Bracket pool managers set the point value for each round and decide whether to use one of our 4 systems that award bonus points for picking upsets. We can also write custom code to handle your unique scoring scheme. To learn more about the scoring systems, set up your own pool so you can review all the custom options, and then Contact Us if you have any other questions.

Entering Picks - You may change your picks as often as you like up until your pool's pick deadline which is set by the pool manager. Also, you can easily do mulitple sets of picks under the same registration, so if you want to enter picks for a friend or extra sets of picks for yourself, our software makes it easy.

Branded Basketball Pools - We can help you promote your own website or business with a custom branded basketball pool. We'll use your graphics and styles to make our site look like yours. These are perfect for radio stations, newspapers, or anyone who wants a professional contest web page. Learn More

What They're Saying - I've used several pool hosts in the past, and this one beats them all. I liked the simple, practical interface that still sacrificed none of the useful features like matchup info, what-ifs, manager's notes, trash talk, etc. Result and standings updates were faster than I've seen elsewhere, too. Site admin was a breeze and, very importantly I've found, registration and sign-up for pool participants was relatively simple and intuitive. Most importantly, no ads, no need to sign-up for a general login to an omnibus site with many unrelated services (such as Yahoo), and an unambiguous privacy policy that never threatens to transfer to those of third-party sites lurking behind outside links (such as SportsLine). My participants were happy with the site, too. I'll definitely be back next year. - Heath Martin
