Pool members choose one NCAA team each day or round (configurable by the pool commissioner). Each team can only be picked once throughout the tournament. If they win, you move on. If they lose, you are eliminated. Last man standing wins.
This is the most popular NCAA Basketball pool. Players completely fill out the NCAA brackets, predicting the winner of every game. Points are awarded for every game picked correctly, with the winner having the most total points. You may set your own point value for each round of the tournament. This format can also be setup to run as a Sweet 16 pool, starting when just 16 teams remain in the tournament.
Each entry is assigned one NCAA team (64 entries max), and goes head to head with the opponent their team is playing. Game outcomes are based on the point spread. If your team wins or covers the spread, you will advance to the next round with the winning team.
Pool Commissioners set how many teams their members will pick. Players pick that many teams from the 64-team field for the entire tournament. Every time a chosen team wins, the player is awarded the number of points equivalent to the team's seed number.
Claim your squares and get 63 chances to win! Similar to the popular Super Bowl squares format, the winning scores of each game are used to see which grid squares are winners.
