I love this time of year when everyone from your co-worker to your grandma is in a March Madness office pool. Admittedly, I fill out at least two bracket pools each year, trying to hedge my bet from one to the other.
But as I thought about it, do we really need to go through all the matchups of the entire bracket, all 64 teams? How many office pools have you been in that were decided by anything other than the final 2 teams in the championship game?
Therefore, why not just cut to the chase. Last year, I started playing a unique pool format where it does all hinge on just picking these final 2 teams. No safety net here kiddies. The format is easy but challenging, as you make your selections over days, not all upfront prior to the opening Thursday.
The game is called Last 2 Left and the website offers a free public game and private office pools which aren't restricted by the traditional deadlines of brackets. The site offers not only the Men's NCAA Tourney but also the Women's and the NIT. Here's the site's schedule:
Men's NCAA College Basketball Tournament
Public Game - Deadline to get in: 3/21/08 by 12PM EST
Private Office Pool - Deadline to start one: 3/27/08 by 12PM EST
Women's NCAA College Basketball Tournament
Public Game - Deadline to get in: 3/23/08 by 12PM EST
Private Office Pool - Deadline to start one: 3/29/08 by 12PM EST
Men's NIT College Basketball Tournament
Public Game - Deadline to get in: 3/19/08 by 12PM EST
Private Office Pool - Deadline to start one: 3/22/08 by 12PM EST
So this year, try something new that should take you no more than two minutes. Sure, you can do your brackets too but when your National Champ goes down on the first weekend, here's an alternative for you. Good luck!!!
