On Selection Sunday, 67 teams will be distributed throughout a converging bracket diagram in an annual tournament that captures the attention of any sports fan.  Through the opening rounds to the Sweet 16, Elite 8, and Final 4, we live and die as the seconds tick away.  With last second heaves from half court to the pressure-packed free throws, the Tournament is the cardiac event that signals the end of the college basketball season. 

As a pleasant diversion from the stresses of the recession and everyday life, and as a full-blown stress test itself, join the HOOPS MADNESS! It's absolutely FREE and open to just about anyone. Our only real requirement is that you limit it to one entry per person. (Multiple entries will disqualify you entirely.)
As always, we have great prizes!  This year, you can win Best Buy, Apple Store, and Amazon.com gift cards.  If overall entries peak over 300 a brand new Amazon Kindle will be available to the overall winer as well!  So invite, your friends, colleagues, co-workers and redeem bragging rights as the top scoring entry!

Some interesting NCAA Office Pool Statistics:
According to the FBI, approximately $2.5 billion is wagered in office pools during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament each year. (No wagering here, this pool is FREE!)
- An estimated 37 million office workers will participate in an office pool, as reported by Challenger, Gray and Christmas.
- Nearly half of all American workers have participated in an office pool at some time, as found in a survey by Spherion Corp.
- In that same survey, Spherion found that of those that participate in pools, 75% spent less than $20 each, while 8% spent more than $50 each. 
- Assuming an average of 10 minutes of "wasted" work time each day for the 16 days of the Tournament, that equates to an approximate $1.7 billion expense to employers.
- Odds of filling out a perfect bracket are one in 9 quintillion (9,000,000,000,000,000,000), according to Forbes. The odds of winning the Powerball Jackpot are 1 in 195,000,000+/- (a whole lot better).
