New Bracket Creates a new bracket (or entry) in the pool. The entry is not stored in the file, however, until you select the File -> Save menu item.

Import Brackets... This is how you import files which are generated from the Web Entry Form. This brings up a dialog with three options.

1. Import a Directory: Ideally, you should save all your Web Entry emails into one directory (folder) and then import them using this option. This is the fastest way to get the brackets into OfficePool.
   
2. Import a File : Imports ONE Web Entry email that was created using the Web Entry form.
   
3. Copy and Paste : You can copy the entire contents of the Web Entry email and then just paste it into the field below. You then select the "Import" button.

Duplicate Bracket : Makes a copy of the selected bracket. All information, such as name, email, info fields, etc., is copied. If multiple entries are selected, it makes a copy of the first entry only.

Delete Bracket: Deletes the selected entry or entries. This is not undoable, but does give you a warning dialog.

Clear Picks Clears all picks for the current entry. BE CAREFUL. This is not undoable. In addition, to clear one pick at a time simply hold down the Control Key and select the pick you want to clear.

Pick The Favorites Allows quick entry and fills out the entire bracket using the higher seeded teams. Try it out, it may save you some time. It's also fun to use as a Bogus Entry. (See below)

Generate QuikPiks... One of our favorites. This will automatically create a random entry (QuikPik). A fun way to set up your pool for those who know absolutely nothing about basketball.

This also a very handy way to help you evaluate OfficePool.

TIME-SAVER TIP: If you have a pool where you give, for example, 5 QuikPiks for each normal pick, OfficePool allows you a great time saver once all the pools are entered. Select all the entries from the Entries listbox and then select this menu item. It is now set up where it will run QuikPiks for all the selected entries at one time.

Enter Results Selects The Results entry from the Brackets listbox. This is where you advance teams after games have been played. Once you change this entry, scores are automatically calculated and updated on all brackets.

Download Results Will download the latest results for the selected tournament. An internet connection must be established for this to take place. You can also do update results manually by selecting the Enter Results menu item.

Mark As Paid Enabled when one or more entries is selected in the Brackets listbox. This allows quick updates to people who have paid. This can also be done from the Pool Manager/Email item from the View menu.

Mark As Bogus Ever want to put in an entry from one of the so-called experts and see how it does compared to other players in your pool but you don't want it to count in the standings? If so, this is how you set one of those brackets. Enabled when one or more brackets is selected in the Brackets listbox.

Lock/Unlock Brackets Select Lock when you don't want to accidentally modify a players picks. Select Unlock when you need to make changes. Never can be too careful, especially when you have imported all those emails using the Web Entry option and you know you will never change them again.

Hide/Show Brackets Hides (or Shows, if hidden) the Brackets listbox. Useful for smaller screens.
