A Different NCAA Pool
I have participated in a different sort of NCAA pool for over a decade. In this pool, you do not pick the entire tournament in advance. Instead, you pick rounds one and two. After those rounds, you are issued a fresh bracket of 16 teams and pick rounds three and four. Then, the same routine for the final four. Each succeeding round is worth more points than the previous one.
This format means no pool player is eliminated when his/her tourney winner pick loses in the second round. Every pool player has a chance to make up ground with good picks after the tourney starts. If you are interested in playing this pool, send me a note, and I will get you all the information.
