Welcome to the Hitmen OTP - 2022!

Welcome friends, it is I, Coach George.

I am the PoolMaster of the Hitmen Online Tournament Pool (formerly just the Online Tournament Pool).

I am also an Assistant Coach of the NJ Hitmen 12U Little League Travel Baseball Team for which my son, Luke, plays.

2022 is the year! This August, the NJ Hitmen 12U team will travel to Cooperstown, New York to participate in the National 12-and-Under Baseball Tournament.

Once again, the Hitmen Online Tournament Pool (HOTP) will serve as both a fun competition to pick the correct NCAA Men’s Tournament bracket, and as a fundraiser to help support Luke and his teammates’ trip to Cooperstown.

This Sunday, March 13, the 2002 NCAA Men’s Tournament Brackets will be revealed. After which you will have an opportunity to participate in this Online Pool, possibly win some money, and help fundraise for the NJ Hitmen.

*Please note, the brackets (and the HOTP) will not be available until this Sunday (3/13) night.*

HERE ARE THE RULES/REGULATIONS:

We will be using ESPN’s Tournament Challenge for pick submissions and scoring updates.
