3/11/97, Issue # 1.0.1 "The Return of Hot Wings"

    It's that time of year again, when the whether suddenly turns very hot on a day's notice, spring break approaches (or occurs, as in my case), and a little club called "Hot Wings" rises from the ashes to run the annual NCAA Tournament Pool.

    Via an email vote among last year's participants, the motion to raise the entry fee from $10 to $20 failed.  So once again, for just $10, you can enter the HWCI NCAA Pool and test your predicting skills with others.  Of course, you can enter twice ($10 each) and increase your chances of winning.  The pot will be divided among 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers.

    The deadline for entering is 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, March 13. You can enter manually by just picking the winners from the bracket below, or you can enter by going to:
