Types of March Madness Pools
Currently, RunYourPool.com offers the following types of NCAA tournament pools:
This is the most popular NCAA Basketball Tournament pool. Players completely fill out the NCAA brackets for the field of 64 teams, predicting the winner of every game. Points are awarded for every game picked correctly, with the winner having the most total points. You may set your own point value for each round of the tournament.

For Android, iPhone, and other smartphonesBracket Pool Samples:
Pool members choose one NCAA team each day or round (configurable by the pool administrator). Each team can only be picked once throughout the tournament. If they win, you move on. If they lose, you are eliminated. Last man standing wins.
Players only pick 8 teams for the entire tournament. Every time a chosen team wins, the player is awarded the number of points equivalent to the team's seed number.
Similar to the popular Super Bowl Squares format, members reserve "squares" on a 10x10 grid by putting their name in the box. Winners are based on the winning and losing scores of every NCAA Tournament game and a members' boxes are good for every game.
Sweet 16 pools work just like normal bracket pools, except they start with Round 3 of the tournament, when the field has been cut down to 16 teams. This is a great option for those who could not get their pool organized in time for the start of the tournament or who prefer fewer games.
