Using the March Madness Bracket and Pool Template
After we upload the new bracket with the 2019 information, the bracket will be ready to go. Just enjoy the games and enter the final scores to keep the bracket updated.
- To start an office pool, hand out copies of the bracket to participants and have them write in their bracket picks. Make sure you give them ample time to make their picks, even if it won't really help them do any better. :-)
- Enter picks into the pool worksheet. Use the game numbers on the bracket and the table to line up the proper games.
- Keep the bracket updated with scores and the pool will be updated too.
- Consider placing the spreadsheet where everyone can see the current leaders.
- Sit back and enjoy the tournament, and pray that your underdogs really do win.
Tips for Putting on a Tournament
- If you aren't sure how many teams you are going to have in your tournament, print out multiple brackets or print out a bracket that will handle them all.
- Use BYEs to fill in empty starting positions if teams fail to show up or the bracket is slightly larger than needed.
- Print the bracket on a large plotter (most copy centers will have one) if you want to post it for everyone to see. Or, use a projector and a laptop to display the bracket on a wall so that everyone can see how the tournament is progressing.
- Make sure you have ample time to complete your tournament, especially if court or field space is limited. A single drawn-out game can mess up an entire tournament schedule. Make sure you include enough time in between games to allow for the longer games.

Have participants fill out the brackets
Everyone gets predicting. People have different rules for the play-in games, and some online outlets let you pick the winners of the first four, but for the most part it starts with 64 teams playing 32 games, with participants picking the winners all the way to the end.
You can also collect money at this stage, but please adhere to any local laws regarding gambling and office pools, whatever those laws may be.
Identify scoring system
You can score it however you like. Here is the most popular way to set up scoring:
First Round = 1 pointSecond Round = 2 PointsThird Round = 3 PointsFourth Round =4 PointsFifth Round = 6 PointsSixth Round =10 PointsCount up points every round
Do it by hand or let the computer do it for you. Lots of people like to provide round-by-round updates to see who is winning as it progresses, but that's up to you.
Declare your winner
At the end, you've got a winner. Hand them their prize, which we hope is some outlandish, ungainly trophy they will love but also feel sheepish about displaying in their home.
