1. PROGRAM PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Madness in March Tournament Tracker (TOURTRAK.EXE) is a program designed
to assist you in running a pool for the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
You can define your own scoring options, print status reports, view
individual entries, sort entries in several ways, and even find out
who's been mathematically eliminated.  Point totals and standings
are automatically calculated for you.  Another useful feature is the
ability to run several pools simultaneously, each with its own scoring
system and entries.

Along with Tournament Tracker comes a companion program called "Madness
in March Picks".  This provides an easy, graphical way for everyone
entering the pool to pick their teams.  As the pool coordinator, you can
give the Picks program (a small EXE file) to everyone who wants to enter
your pool.  All participants can then make their own team selections and
all you need back is their "pick" file.  Simply add these pick files to
your pool from within Tournament Tracker and you've completely avoided
the nasty data-input drudgery.

Both Tournament Tracker and Picks are designed for a PC running either
Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98, or Windows NT/2000.  Complete on-line help is
available in both programs.

Don't forget!
You can avoid the tedious job of entering the 64 team names by visiting
our web site (http://www.sportsdatatech.com) after Selection Sunday
to download a "starter" pool file.  This will have all the teams
pre-entered for you.  Just open it in Tournament Tracker, enter your
preferred scoring options, and follow standard setup procedures from
there!

3. INSTALLATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRNTRK23.ZIP contains the files you need to install Tournament Tracker.
Unzip (de-compress) this file (using WinZip or PKzip, for example) into
a temporary directory and then run INSTALL.EXE from within Windows.
This will guide you through the install process.

If you used the default options during installation, you should have
a directory (folder) called TOURTRAK on your hard drive along with two
sub-directories:

     <Root>--TOURTRAK ---POOL
                      | 
                      ---ENTRY

 - March Madness Tournament Tracker is named TOURTRAK.EXE.
 - March Madness Picks is named PICKS.EXE.
 - An example pool (EXAMPLE.POL) has been set up and is ready for use.
 - One DLL file is required to run Tournament Tracker: BWCC.DLL.  This
   should have been placed in your Windows system directory.
