Tourney Pool Manager: New Features

posted on 2005-03-22 at 00:26:06 by Joel Ross

Last week, we ran across a few issues with the Tourney Pool Manager, mainly related to how it downloaded results from our website. We issued a patch on Thursday night, and sent a notice out to our customers. Friday through Sunday seemed to run rather smoothly.

While I was in the hopital with my wife, I had nothing better to do than add features to the Tourney Pool Manager while I watched the games. You may not have noticed, but when I posted my bracket, you saw one of the features we added. Go take a look at Kansas. It's crossed out all the way to the Final Four, even though those games aren't complete yet.

The other feature we added is a scenario generator. Once the Final Four games are set (after next Sunday), you'll be able to look in the Tourney Pool Manager and see the eight possible outcomes, and what the standings will look like for that scenario. Now, you'll know how the Final Four has to shake out for you to win your office pool! Thanks for this needs to go to Jerry over at TalkNCAA and TalkHeels. He helped out with a lot of the legwork on this one.

We're currently beta testing on our own servers, and are targetting tomorrow night to release. That way, you'll have all day Wednesday to get it installed.
