Hey, Sports Fans:

Welcome back for another great year of March Madness! The 2008 tournament was the best ever. During the three-week tournament, our site took nearly four million hits! That's because our fully-hosted online March Madness basketball pool software is the best on the planet - period! But don't take our word for it, see what our customers are saying.

Feel free to test our software. Just click Madness and then select New Pool. You will be playing against the 2008 bracket, and we won't be running scoring cycles, so leader boards won't get updated. But, it will give you a feel for Madness in advance of the 2009 tournament. All pools that you start before March 15, 2009 will be deleted when the 2009 bracket is announced. Selection Sunday is March 15, 2009, and the 2009 brackets will be available in Madness just a few hours after Sunday's announcement. At that point, any pool you start will be live.

So, if you want to play Madness, all you need to remember is playmadness.com - and be sure to tell your friends. We look forward to seeing you for the 2009 tournament.

See you soon.
