Welcome
Welcome to the netBrackets 2008 NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket Pool Manager. To get started, simply choose the appropriate link under the Pools header on the left:
- Pool Login - This is where you login to a pool entry you've already created.
- Join a Pool - This is where you create (or change) an entry in a pool you've been invited to join.
- Start a Pool - This is where you create a new pool. Pick a name, scoring options and send out the generated invitation and you're done.
- Pool Status - Only available after the tournament has started, this is where you track the status of your pool, including the current standings and your chances of winning.
- Pool Admin - This is where you manage your pool including sending out invites, setting scoring options, setting an entry limit, and more.
Bonus - For every Standard pool that's created, you'll get a free Sweet 16 Pool.
Branded Pools - Got a business, charity or group to promote, or to just have some fun with? Do it with style with a Branded Pool. A branded pool builds brand awareness and drives traffic to YOUR pool site, where they'll see YOUR banners, for the entire month of the tournament. You won't find a lower "cost per click" anywhere.
Note to Last Year's Pool Admins - If you ran a pool with us last year, we've already created a pool for you this year with the same name and password. Note that if your pool had the year (i.e. 07) in its name, we have renamed it to contain 08 instead. To manage your pool, login to the Pool Admin page. If you've forgotten your pool name, send us an e-mail with the e-mail address that we have on file, and we'll send you your info. Passwords can be requested from the Pool Admin Login page. You should also be receiving an e-mail with all your pool information soon. And don't forget your free Sweet 16 pool. That's already been created too, with the same name and password as your Standard Pool. Go to our Sweet 16 page and login to your Sweet 16 pool's Pool Admin page to manage it.
Pricing
netBrackets charges a $1 setup for each pool, plus 25¢ per entry. It's that simple.
Payment can be made using any major credit card or PayPal.
| 10 Entrants | 30 Entrants | 200 Entrants | |
| Example Cost | $3.50 | $8.50 | $51.00 |
BONUS - You get a free Sweet 16 pool with each Standard netBrackets pool you create. Your free Sweet 16 pool will be limited to the number of entrants in your Standard netBrackets pool, plus 5.
Payment Details
- You won't be able to pay for your pool until after the Pick Cutoff time since the number of entrants in your pool won't be known until then. A payment link will be available on the Pool Status and Pool Admin pages that you can use to make your payment with a credit card or Paypal account.
- netBrackets will track your pool(s) and make each pool's Pool Status available for the first round of the tournament for free. After that, you won't be able to see your Pool Status page until the pool has been paid for.
- To help us better prepare our servers, if you expect more than 500 entrants please let us know with an E-Mail.
