Built for tournament weeks
Round-by-round lock times keep picks fair when games tip at different times across the bracket.
March Madness pools
Run your March Madness office pool without the bracket chaos
Tournament time moves fast. OPH helps you collect picks, track every round, and keep the office engaged from the opening round through the championship.
No credit card · Paper and online picks · Free forever
A college basketball tournament office pool usually means picking winners across the NCAA bracket. OPH supports tournament pick'em pools today with weekly slates, lock times, and the same paper-friendly tools you use for football season. Dedicated 63-pick bracket pools, built for the expanded 76-team field in 2027 (12 opening-round games, then the Round of 64), are on the roadmap for March 2027.

-

Create your tournament pool
Set up an NCAA basketball pool for the full tournament or selected rounds. Invite coworkers with a share link or join code.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I run a March Madness pool for free?
Yes. Creating and running a tournament pool on Office Pool Hub is free.
Does OPH support bracket-style scoring?
Today OPH runs tournament pick'em pools with live scoring across the NCAA slate. Full bracket pools with 63 picks, opening-round play-in slots, and round-based scoring are planned ahead of the 2027 tournament, when the men's field grows to 76 teams.
How does the 2027 expanded bracket work?
Starting in 2027, the men's field has 76 teams. Twelve opening-round games are played before the Round of 64. Players still make 63 picks for the main bracket; twelve slots are filled by the winner of a play-in pairing instead of a known team on Selection Sunday.
Can players still use paper brackets?
Yes. Many offices mix paper and online. Admins can enter picks from paper sheets or scan them with OPH Vision.
When should I set up the pool?
Most offices publish the pool as soon as the bracket is announced and lock picks before the first Round of 64 game tips (Thursday of tournament week). Opening-round play-in games do not change that lock for standard 63-pick bracket pools.
