Here are some of the features of this year's pool:
- Continuously updated standings! Know where you stand at all times.
- "What if" scenarios that tell you who is still alive and who you should root for.
- Bulletin Board for "smack-talkin"
- No spam. No ads. No software to install.
Note: All money, minus the PayPal transaction fees and the PickHoops.com site fee, goes to the winners. We don't make any money running the pool.
