This is a very handy (if rough) stack for tracking the Men's Basketball tounament. It also tracks up to 36 alternate brackets and scores all brackets against the actual bracket.
The scoring system is based on a total point variation of your standard office pool. Each correct pick earns a specific point total depending on the round. There are a total of 32 points per round, so a correct first round game is worth 1 point (being that there are 32 first round games). Later rounds are worth 2, 4, 8 for a correct final four pick, 16, and 32 points for the national champion. Keep in mind the points are cummulative, so picking the national champion is really worth 61 points for each round, not just 32.
This scoring method has many advantages to the "pick a team" method. It allows players to have an interest in every game and a more global interest in the entire tournament. It also gives back a meaningful running total of points by showing total points still possible, as well as total points actually earned. If a player has picked a team to advance several rounds, and that team is upset, those future points are subtracted from possible future points.

FEATURES
NEW ENTRY- Brings up a new empty bracket. Enter the name into the bracket and you will be asked to enter the winner of every game throughout the bracket. Record these entries before Thursday’s games.
CHECK ALL ENTRIES- Will compare the choices of each bracket against the actual tournament bracket. This may be and should be done periodically throughout the tournament, even though the final bracket is not complete. The checking algorythm will extrapolate which future picks could not win and which picks are still in play. If you wish to check just one bracket use the arrow keys to find the actual card and press the 'check' box.
EDIT BRACKETS- Allows user to edit a miss entered bracket or the actual tounament bracket to date. Unfortunately you must still skip through until you reach the games you wish to add or edit. Command (.) will end the editing loop and leave you on the current entry’s card. Some of the fields will be left bold, but will be reset during the next check or entry.
