PoolScore (for Windows 95, 98, and NT) is an automated tool that allows the setup, team selection, monitoring, and final scoring of a single elimination tournament.  The format of the application is designed to conform to the structure of the end of season NCAA Basketball Tournament. Reporting options are provided to provide full tournament status and predict the best player opportunity to win the tournament.

PoolScore makes running a NCAA Basketball Tournament pool easy.  The Pool Coordinator uses a graphic display to enter the names of the 64 Teams, makes any desired modifications to titles, adds instructional notes, and selects the point values for each flight of the tournament. This setup goes very quickly.  But, as an alternative, the author will make a configuration file (POOLSTART.PSS) for the 2000 NCAA Basketball tournament available at http://www.tpcsoftware.com when the team selections and seed positions are announced.  Then, the Pool Coordinator will only need to enter any optional notes or make changes to the point values awarded for correct selections by flight.

All team selection and the recording of results are done through either a "drag & drop" or 'point & clicck' interface.  Pool selection forms and progress reports can be printed out at any time.  The tournament format screen can be used to show player progress and 'what if results' as the tournament progresses.

NOTE: A 'drag an drop' display and report format can be used to create a large number of display and report formats to monitor and report progress on the tournament results.  See the HELP File description for 'Scoring Results'.
