Be sure to track your selections on the Standings page.  Standings will be updated after each round and a list of each participant's picks is shown on the Selections page. You can also find a printable version of the bracket at ESPN  that you can use to keep track yourself.

You don’t have to be a basketball genius to win.  In fact, the most knowledgeable rarely win this thing.  Those who have  followed the brilliant strategies of “favorite color”, “toughest mascot”, and “best sounding team name”,  have won it, so, get your strategy and enter your  picks! 

Entry Fees: 

Absolutely None! 

Who Can Enter:

This NCAA pool is an invitation only event, and is only open to EEC clients or others authorized by EEC.  This can include others within organizations authorized by EEC, but does not include those that haphazardly have stumbled across this website.  EEC reserves the right to refuse any unauthorized entry into this contest. 

Rules

You must be at least 18 years old, be a legal resident of the United States of America, and have a valid driver’s license to enter.  CAUTION!  Persons with known heart conditions and pregnant women are advised against participation due to the known effects of prolonged stressful activity! 

If your company/agency policy prevents you from accepting any type of prize, we can also have any money you win donated to your favorite charity! Please specify the chartiy you would like your donation to go to at the time of your submission, or separately email us your charitable selection before the games begin.    

Points

Points will be awarded each round for each correct prediction, or pick, made on a game by game basis. Points vary per round depending on the proximity of the contests to the actual crowning of the 2010 NCAA champion.  Picks for each round are based on the teams you picked to win in the previous round (ie once you pick a team to lose you cannot pick them again in a later round)!

Points will also be awarded for correctly picking upsets during the tournament. The points awarded will be based on the difference between the seeded values of the two teams. For instance correctly predicting a #15 seed beating a #2 seed in the 1st round is worth 13 points in addition to the normal points awarded for that round (which in this case is 5 points, for a total of 18 points).
