MM-HOOPS Overview

MM-HOOPS is an NCAA Tournament Pool Management System.  This system has been 
used for several years and has proven to save considerable time in the 
management of a pool, while providing superior features and greater accuracy 
than a manually operated pool.

You determine the rules for your pool and setup the tournament pairings.  
When people return their brackets to you, you enter their picks into the 
system.  Then, as the tournament unfolds, you enter the actual results, and 
at the click of a button, MM-HOOPS calculates the pool standings for you, 
including each entrant's number of correct picks, points to date, and 
potential point total.  Once the tournament is down to the Final Four, 
MM-HOOPS even calculates the potential pool winners based on the remaining 
tournament scenarios.

MM-HOOPS version 2.4 runs on Microsoft Excel version 4.0.  MM-HOOPS version 
2.5 runs on Microsoft Excel version 5.0.

Note:  Since it is illegal in most parts of the country to gamble on the NCAA 
Tournament, MM-HOOPS may be used for entertainment purposes only.
