The pool is online again this year. Here are a few of the benefits:

• Enter your picks online! No need to hunt us down (or vice versa) for a paper bracket.
• 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 ads. No spam. 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.
