2008 NCAA Tournament Pool

With defending champion Florida and runner-up Ohio State sitting out this year, the quest for this year's title is completely up for grabs. Likewise, with forty-seven (47) entrants, including five former champions, the 2008 NCAA Tournament Pool is equally up for grabs. Join North Carolina, UCLA, Texas, Georgetown, and all the favorites as the countdown to the Final Four begins. Ladies and gentlemen, let's play ball.

Each entrant submits one ballot, selecting winners for all sixty-three games. Points are awarded for each correctly picked game, with point totals listed below. Points are awarded on the following scale:

•  First Round - 1 point
•  Second Round - 2 points
•  Sweet Sixteen - 4 points
•  Great Eight - 8 points
•  Final Four - 12 points
