Overview

The Easy Pool Projector is a tool that provides a current analysis of each player’s outlook in the pool.  The Pool Snapshot provides an overall picture of the pool – where the players currently stand, and what their prospects for winning the pool are.  When the tournament enters the Final Four, What-if Scenarios are available.  The Easy Pool Projector generates all the possible outcomes for the last two rounds of the tournament and ranks each player according to what his or her score would be.

Pool Snapshot

The Pool Snapshot is a current analysis of all the players’ scores.  Players are listed in order of their current scores.  The following data is displayed for each player:

Player Name

The player’s name and current rank.

Picks Alive

The total number of each player’s picks still alive in the tournament.

Championship Pick

Each player’s championship pick and whether or not it is still alive.

Current Score

Each player’s current score.

Maximum Score

Each player’s maximum possible score.

Players who have been mathematically eliminated from winning the pool are marked with and asterisk and grayed out.  Eliminated players can be hidden by selecting the Settings / Hide Eliminated Players menu item in the Easy Pool Projector menu.

What-if Scenarios

What-if scenarios are not generated until the tournament has four teams remaining.  At that point, there are 8 possible ways the tournament can finish, and the Projector generates them all.  You can see the scenarios by clicking the buttons marked 1 thru 8.  As teams are eliminated in the final two rounds, some of the scenarios will no longer be valid, and are so noted.

Each scenario starts with a description of the final rounds as they would unfold, followed by a list of all the players in the pool and what their scores would be under the scenario.


Printing

Printed reports are available for the Pool Snapshot and the What-if Scenarios.  You can print the currently selected scenario or all 8 scenarios at once.  While Easy Pool Projector is running, select File / Print in the Easy Pool Projector menu to see your options.
