maybe adding 3 or 4 play-in games would be ok\nother than that, no, the bball season lasts too long already\n128 teams wouldn't fit on a bracket page anyway

I assume you mean a tournament pool, try to be specific with your questions. There are two ways, you can score one point for each correct game, so the bracket is out of 63 games. Or you can give on point for first round, two points for second round, 4 points for third round etc. That is how yahoo does it. ESPN does basically the same thing only with larger numbers.

Go to the Town/City Hall and ask about the recreation department, they may already have one.  If not they could point you in the right direction.  Or ask the local high school what you would have to do to start an adult basketball team and when/where you could practice, they should be able to also point you in the right direction.\n\nAs far as gathering a team put flyers and posters around town advertising the fact that you want to start an adult basketball team and put your phone number, email etc.

There are alot of things you can do to help your game. Do some dribbling drills where you are on both sides of the court looking at the rim only. Do straight dribbles with both right and left hands, making sure the ball does not go above your waist. Then do between the legs down the court with your head facing the basket and still looking at the rim. Every dribbling drill you do, you should ALWAYS be looking at the rim. The reason you look at the rim is because it helps you with your court vision, giving you the ability to see the whole floor and not miss your teammates when they're open. You should be low on your dribbles all the time. Then go up and down the court going between your legs backwards, the same way you go between your legs frontward, do it backwards.  Then go behind your back up and down. MAKE SURE YOU  ARE LOOKING AT THE BASKET! Then take 3 dribbles to the right and go between the legs and dribble to the left (with the left hand) and do the same thing down the floor, LOOKING AT THE BASKET. Those are just some things to start out with. You can email me and I will help you out a little more. But if you cannot look at the basket while you are doing some of these drills, you will not improve your dribbling skills. You must use all three lanes when doing these drills also. Start on the left side of the court and then go to the right side and finish off in the middle and watch your court vision increase.  \nAs far as shooting goes, you need a partner. It is okay to shoot by yourself sometimes but you need to have a partner that can get your rebounds. The one thing I suggest by yourself is to shoot a lot of free throws and dribble from the timeline to second hash mark line where you set up for free throws and shoot from there. Then do the same thing, this time shoot from the 3rd line. But shooting you need a partner. \nGOD BLESS YOU and good luck this year

Assign a list of players to choics from\nGive all the players a value dependent on there ability\nRestrict the number of players that can be taken from anyone team\nAssign a set formation\nGive a budgit that will challenge the people playing\n\nI think that should be enough to get started if you need a hand don't be afraid to drop me a line.

Play as much as you can, pick up games, 21, any type of competition. Start with defense and rebounding, your shot will come later, the team needs boards and D. Practice free throws and develop your shot, watch basketball and get into shape.

try a match up 2-3 zone where instead of guarding an area like a regular zone you guard any PLAYER WITHIN the area. doubtful they will put more than one player on the right wing, for example, or 2 players on the left lo post. this will protect your big guys a bit form extra running, since you are lacking in big guys, and utilize your man to man d which you said seemed to work. also, guys will not get "lazy" guarding spots on the floor. if no one is in your area you help on nearest man, giving him freedom to cover another player if needed.\ndont think full court d is good, gives guys reasons to not get back. have guards pick up 3/4 or better at half while others get back to paint. if you have good wing and guards you could go "small ball" and then pick up 3/4 or half after MADE or MISSED, bringing back your big guys after quick blow. good luck!

SHOOTING\n\nPractice shots that you'd take in a game. Stand still, catch and shoot. Stand still, catch, dribble and shoot. Catch while on the move and shoot. Catch while on the move and fake or just go right into the dribble and then shoot. And, creating off of fakes (while a pivot foot is planted). Make sure you square up to the basket when shooting. Both feet should be pointing at the basket, and your body should square up to it. Make sure your power is coming from your legs, not your arms. Remember to follow-through on your shot. Practice like crazy. And be intense. Don't be lazy, work hard. If you half-heartedly practice getting shots off, they won't be very effective when a tough defender is near you in a real game.\n\nPASSING\n\nBe alert. Fire quick passes that peole can handle. If someone cuts, and you fire a pass at them, make sure you're leading them to where they're running with the pass, so they don't have to slow down to catch it. After you pass, keep moving, so you're of some use in the play. If it makes sense, cut hard to the basket after you pass, in the hope that your teammate can fire a quick return pass that results in a layup because your defender relaxed for a second after you got rid of the ball. And when your teammates have the ball, create passing lanes, so they can hit you with a pass. Use your hands to create targets. If you cut, have a hand up so the passer can hit it.\n\nDRIBBLING\n\nDribble with your head up. If you have to look down while dribbling, it means you haven't practiced enough. Dribble all over town until you get used to it. Watch good point guards - they're looking forward and around while dribbling, not down. Get down low if you have to. but make sure you're seeing the floor while dribbling, or else unless you create something for yourself and score, you probably aren't helping the team. Learn to dribble with both hands. Obviously one hand will be stronger than the other, but make sure you can at least pull off basic moves with your weak hand (like driving and finishing a layup or passing with it). Watch good players and what they're actually doing with the ball and their bodies while they're dribbling the basketball.\n\nREBOUNDING\n\nYou need to box out. Most players don't know how, or just don't do it. If the shot goes up and you don't box out, the other team has just a good a chance of grabbing the board as you do. Boxing out is absolutely essential when you're on defense, or else you're going to give up lots of offensive boards. Great rebounders always box out. You should know where your opponents are while playing defense, and when a shot goes up you should instinctively face the basket while boxing the closest opponent out. Boxing out also makes it easier for your teammates to grab the rebound in case you can't. It always helps.

Either photocopy a NCAA bracket and distribute it, or do it online via Fantasy Sports on Yahoo, Sporting News, etc where you can create a team and invite people to make their picks online.  Then the system will calculate the leaders automatically.
