I see that people have run WCWS pools informally on this site before, but my questions are:

1. Are they popular? I'm not talking about March Madness popular, but do you run one (or know anyone that runs one)?

2. It seems to me this could be a nice fundraiser idea for travel clubs. I know a few clubs that run Super Bowl squares pools and also March Madness pools as fundraisers. Is the WCWS too late in the year for fundraising?

Thanks for your input!

I have ran one a couple of times on the board.

Even with the softball fanatics here, we would only get perhaps a dozen people who would participate.

It is a little complicated because of two double elimination rules. IMHO, the best solution is to do winner of regional, winner of super regionals, pariticpants in finals, and then winner.

Based upon what I see here, softball people are interested in college softball until the summer travel season starts...and then any interest in college softball ends, except for the few crazed diehards, like me.

I love watching the WCWS just because I love good softball, but not sure how much interest a WCWS pool would generate. And as you mentioned, it is in June, after most TB and HS fundraising is completed and the seasons are either over (HS), or getting ready for Nationals (TB).
