**YOU MUST BE REGISTERED AND LOGGED IN TO CREATE OR JOIN A POOL!**

By using THEOFFICEPOOL.COM to run your 2026 NCAA Hoops Pool, you're taking away all the work, and making your 2026 College Basketball Pool more fun than ever. There are no longer copies to make, entries to collect or scores to tally. The best part is, you can talk a little "smack" with other members of your pool before and during the 2026 Road to the Final Four. Real time scoring updates will be posted DURING every round of games, so you can see how you're doing
against the competition.

Here's how to start...

- Open an Account
- Log In
- Click on "Create NCAA Pool" from the "NCAA Tourney" Menu
- Start inviting friends and co-workers to your pool

Simply create a pool with a unique name and password and start inviting people today. Once people have joined your pool by logging on and entering your poolname and password on the "join pool" page, they can make their selections on the "picks" page including an estimate of how many points will be scored by both teams combined in the final game as a tiebreaker. Default settings such as points for wins in each round (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 12) can be changed easily in "Pool Admin".

It's that easy!

Pricing will be based on participation. The cost is 50 cents for every participant in your pool with a minimum of $10. Once you create a 2026 Men's NCAA Basketball Pool, you will be responsible for paying this administrative fee between Noon on March 19 (when pool rosters are locked) and 10PM EST on March 27 . If payment is not received by March 27, 2026 , your pool will be locked.

To pay, select "Pool Admin", and "Check your Pool's Payment Status"

There is no more exciting event in any year than March Madness. Enjoy the games and your pool!
