PickHoops.com is your online college basketball bracket manager. No ads, no spam, nothing to install. PickHoops, LLC is a small company based in Durham, NC, that manages national college basketball tournament bracket contests at http://www.pickhoops.com/ . PickHoops started in 1996 (became an LLC in 2005) when a bunch of computer geeks got tired of scoring their brackets by hand and applied web technologies, then brand new, to solve the problem. The first year PickHoops handled less than 40 brackets; the 2009 version, along with its sister site Pickmanager.com, handled more than 100,000 across thousands of office groups and promotional contests. Web surfers can sign up for a 25-bracket pool for $9.95, and invite their friends to play for no additional charge. PickHoops also handles larger pools ideal for corporate promotions, such as radio stations, that handle 500 brackets or more.
