If I joined a pool by mistake or don't want to play, how do I get out? 

Login and view the pool you want to leave. From the menu, click the "Remove Me" option. This will remove your picks and other information from the pool. Please note this is not reversible. Also, keep in mind that some pool manager's will restrict players from leaving the pool - the "Remove Me" will be grayed out in that case so you will need to contact the pool manager to be removed.

If I am the creator of a pool, do I also need to go through the "Join" process to become a participant? 

No. If you select the "Join This Pool upon Creation" checkbox as you are creating your pool, you will automatically be added to that pool. However, if you forget or decide to join at a later time, you can still use the "Join a Pool" option to become a participant of the pool. Remember, anyone joining the pool after creation will require the pool entry password to join.

To access this feature, go to your pool and select the "Contact My Players" from the "Manager Actions" list then select "Create an Invite" button. You will be able to select past players and add any new email addresses to your contact list and send an invitation to those players with a link to making joining your pool easy.

How do I enter all my paper brackets or include someone who doesn't have access to TourneyTime.com (Offline Manager)? 

The "Offline Manager" is a tool pool managers use to add brackets/picks for players who DO NOT intend to login to the site (e.g. offline). It is also a great tool for manager's who run a manual pool and want to enter those paper brackets and let our service do all the scoring and reporting while they can enjoy more games! You can add offline players to pools with active players or just have a entirely offline pool.

To access the Offline Manager feature:
  • Login and view your pool
  • Drop down the "Manager Actions" menu and select the "Manage off-Line players"
  • Add offline accounts for each offline player you want to add (Note: previously created offline accounts will be available)
  • After the offline accounts are available, select the offline players and add them to your pool
  • Make picks for these players using the "Administer Picks" option from the "Manager Actions" drop-down menu

Will I be able to view all other pool players picks once the Tournament starts? 

Yes you will! Once the Tournament is underway and the picks are locked down, you will be able to view other players picks from your pools page. A 'html' and 'pdf' link will be available in the "Picks Status" column under the "COMPLETE" message for each player that has a valid pick sheet. The "html" will show that players pick sheet in html format for faster loading and "pdf" will show the pick sheet in adobe acrobat reader. Both formats are printable and will indicate correct and incorrect picks as the Tournament progresses.

Does TourneyTime allow bonus points to be awarded in pools or have "upset scoring"? 

Yes! TourneyTime allows "Upset Scoring" option for the first and second rounds. Using this method, bonus points (equal to the difference in the seeds) will be awarded if an upset is correctly picked. All bonus scoring is OPTIONAL for each round and is selected by the pool's manager upon the creation of the pool. A best practice for upset scoring is to consider awarding more points for correct picks in that round so the bonus scoring doesn't over-affect scoring. For example, a 12 over a 5 is 7 bonus points and if your scoring gives 1 point per correct pick, then picking that upset is equivalent to choosing 7 correct winners.

Q1017 
NCAA
How are TourneyTime pools scored? 

Each round is assigned a point value that will be given to each correct pick. The point values are assigned by the pool's manager when the pool is created. Additionally, there are optional bonus point scoring options available for each round (e.g. upset scoring, all correct in a round, all correct in a region). All scoring is done automatically as each game result is posted during the tournament.

If I am a pool manager, can I remove someone from my pool?
