This is the home of the NCAA Pix Tournament, a contest that offers you the chance to join a group of friends in picking the winners of the men's NCAA Division I basketball tournament every year. I have been hosting this tournament since 1987 but I didn't officially start tracking the results until 1996, when three founding members (myself, Mark King and Jerry Finney) started this nonsense, along with one additional contestant (Jeff Finney). We have competed every year since then, except for 2020 when COVID cancelled our fun.

Congratulations to Jerry Finney, our 2025 NCAA Pix Champion & 2-time Champ!


This tournament has no entry fee. This is NOT a business, and we do NOT sell your email address. This is just a group of friends making picks, giving each other a hard time for poor picks, congratulating each other for good picks and seeing who wins. We are only playing for bragging rights. All you have to do is go to our website once the teams have been selected (around 8 PM on Selection Sunday) and click on the teams you feel will win their games from the start of the tournament (including the First 4 games) to the end. Points are awarded for correct picks each round, and the person who has the most points in the end wins our tournament.

This tournament is open to everyone who wants to be in it and has a relationship with one of the other contestants. If you know me or one of our other players, that's good enough. If this is your first year, use the link below to provide your information and who you know that is currently in the tournament that suggested you join us.


You have only a short window of time to make your picks. In order to be fair to everyone, we have a strict rule regarding submitting all of your picks before the first "First 4/Play In" game begins, which we include with our picks. This means you have less than 48 hours after the teams are announced to make your picks. That's what makes this tournament so challenging.

If you want to look back at past year's tournaments, use these links: 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010. (Keep in mind that the tournament was cancelled in 2020, due to COVID-19.) Use the "Select Report" drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner to see different reports, including showing each person's individual picks.

I have recently found the old files for the tournaments prior to 2010, so if you have any interest in viewing those VERY poorly-designed web pages, use these links: 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996. Unfortunately, since the software for these years used a different format, these pages only include the final standings.

If you have any questions about the tournament, email Roger Killion, the tournament director. I hope to see YOU competing with us this year! The more, the merrier!
