Pick 65 Becomes PickHoops
In 2005, Pick 65 incorporated to become PickHoops, LLC. A brief summary of changes:
Upgraded system for faster response time
Automatic support for many more scoring systems
Group owners have more control over their groups
Improved bulletin board and instant polls
We don't have to become "Pick 66" if the tournament expands again
What hasn't changed is our staff, our exclusive features, and our commitment
to providing the best bracket tracker on the web.
