Mac Download

Below is a file (hoopness.sea.hqx) that you can download that will let you use the limited (15-player) versions of the hoopness NCAA Basketball pool programs for Macintosh. Included are:

  • The hoopness entry program (unlimited usage) that you can distribute to players to let them point and click to create their own entry files
  • The hoopness score program (limit 15 entries) that accepts the entry files and keeps track of the results of the tournament. This program has many functions and reports that make it easier for the pool administrator, and provide feedback for the pool players
  • components for web-based entry

This is a self-extracting archive that has sub-folders. The file hoopness.sea.hqx is a BinHex file. Either your browser must convert it back to native Mac format, or you must run it through BinHex after downloading. Then put the file hoopness.sea where you want the hoopness folder to be on your hard disk, and double-click on the archive.

After extracting the files, immediately run the hoopness score program and choose SCORE Help from the Help menu to learn about the program(s).

There is also a Windows version and a pool can be run with mixed users.
