I've used Madness for several years. These guys aren't trying to dazzle you with feature bloat. Madness does exactly what it needs to do. It's simple, reliable, and fast with great support. Just good software.
A steal at $15.00

Not only does this product save a ton of time, but the variety of scoring options and the "who has" option have everyone in our office talking about Madness. A++++++

Summary
I'm nominating this product for 'Best Business Software' as it freed up our 'tournament administrator' to go back to his regular job! Best features: click-on team selection, detailed leaderboards, who has?, and scenario calculations with simple interfaces. Worst features: manual and automatic input of scores in the master bracket is clumsy and the graphics could look more professional. But don't be fooled by the appearance, this is a great business tool!
Simple; All that you need to run a pool

It's design is simplistic yet provides everything for an automated pool. The import feature is excellent and it's leaderboard provides all you need to keep you and your fellow pool mates placated.
