March Madness...The Big Dance....The Road to the Final Four. Hey, cliche boy, give it a rest!Whatever you choose to call the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, one thing is for certain. Being in an office pool makes it even more fun. Especially for the kids, who can learn valuable gambling skills at an early age.
But for the second straight year, this pool is a little different. Instead of the traditional office pool where the winner takes the spoils, all money collected ($5 entry fee, more if you are feeling generous) will go to the charity of choice for the pool's winner (see the rules section for further information on this).
Last year we raised more than $900 for Orphans of Rwanda, a wonderful charity. In doing so (and with matching funds from the charity itself), we were able to send a Rwandan orphan to college for a full year. Not a bad couple week's of work for us degenerate gamblers. Who will be this year's lucky charity? Stay tuned to find out.
As in past years, you can make your selections for the Big Dance right on the site, and follow your progress either on the site or by reading the frequent Email updates. If you don't feel like using PayPal and didn't get my address from the original Email, send me an Email to request the address to send your payment.
Once you've submitted your picks and paid your entry fee, bookmark this page and come back throughout the tournament to find out how you're doing in the pool. It will be updated after each night's games, so check regularly. But hey, enough a my yakkin'. Let's Dance!

I mean, people are starting to talk. Between you and me, does anyone ever read this legal stuff anyway? I'll let you in on a little secret. There is no pool. I made it up, and I'm keeping all the money. Yup, at five bucks a pop, I figure by the time the teams make it to the Final Four in San Antonio, I'll be on the beach, $25 richer. Suckers. Hey, don't tell, OK? I was just kidding about the outfit.
