Though it doesn't look like much, the free NCAA men's basketball tournament pool manager FreeTrak includes everything you need to successfully manage the 2006 (or any other year's) March Madness competition. A single click imports all the 2006 teams and regions, and entering contestants' picks is as easy as importing bookmarks to Firefox.

Setting up a pool is simple. Select "New Tournament," name it, save it, then "Open" it from the File menu. Customize your scoring system and enter the teams and regions for this year's tournament. You can either automatically import teams and regions via the "Instant Import" button if you're online, or enter them manually. Now comes the adding of picks. Contestants in your pool can download their own version of FreeTrak to export a picks file (FTX) you can import, or you can manually enter picks for players who have written them on a paper bracket. Once all the players and picks have been entered, it's on to the actual basketball games. When results from NCAA games are final, you simply update the "Actual Results Bracket" with the winning teams, and FreeTrak will automatically tabulate contestants' scores and compile rankings. The biggest addition to FreeTrak for 2007 is a bonus scoring feature for upsets.

Nice efficient tracker, lacks scoring flexibility

Pros
Easy to set up, import feature is great, and hey, it's free.
Cons
No option for scoring bonuses based on seed differentials. Unfrotunately, as good as it may look, this rules it out of tracking my pool right away. Suprising short-coming from a program that goes to the extent of socring the play-in game!

All you ever need to manage your pools!

Pros
Simple, <p>Easy, <p>Efficient, <p>Works! <p>Import the brackets, import players picks and then just update teams as they win/lose. Makes running a pool a breeze. <p>Actually a much better program than 2 paid ones I wasted money on.
Cons
No cons. <p>It isn't the prettiest program, but not a con really. It just lean and efficient.
Summary
Almost Perfect!

This program was not fancy, but it was free. It did exactly what I needed for it to do. I was able to input all the picks for the people in the pool and after every game I could update the actual bracket with a single click and it updated the standings. With the "what if" bracket we could see if someone was mathematically eliminated. Only improvement would be to indicate when someone is mathematically eliminated without having to go through the what if scenarios.
If you do office pools this is the one to ge

We are already in the middle of our pool when I came across this. After downloading and checking out this software makes me wish I had found this sooner. It is extremely easy to use.

I think this is about as good as you can get for a free program. I can think of some features that would be nice to have that I have seen in other management programs but *hey*, you can't beat this for the price.
Very cool & Free
