Conference Tournaments Begin This Week
31 automatic bids are in play. 30 conferences hold tournaments except for Ivy League. The regular season winner receives the automatic bid. 34 additional schools will receive an 'at-large' bid. I'll update the 31 automatic bids as the conference tournaments complete over the next 12 days. Then when the selection committee announces the final tournament bracket, the 10th OfficePool64.com tournament will open up for your pool sheet entries.
There was just under 400 people in last years office pool. This pool is still free and there still are no prices for the winner. I don't have any paid advertisements for this site, I'm just a fan who enjoys the big March basketball tournament and all the hoopla that goes along with it.
I have new hosting for OfficePool64.com. I've redesigned the website slightly while keeping the familiar format in place. With the new hosting for the site, I have a lot of extra room to host the past tournament archives that I've collected along the way. The archives are located on the lower left side of your screen. Select a year and find the tournament you've played in from the past. I don't have all of the years posted as of this writing, but will have them all shortly.
