9th Annual JettNet.ORG Family Tournament

Last Updated: Saturday, March 06, 2010

For the 9th year in a row JettNet.ORG is holding an on-line Men's Basketball Tournament "Pool." The JettNet.ORG Tournament employs first class, state of the art technology. Everything is done on-line from the comfort of your own home (or office).  For those of you new to the JettNet.ORG Tournament, the bracket is open to Jett Family friends and relatives of all ages. And those who have played the past eight years can testify that you don’t need to know anything about college basketball to win this pool!!

Tell your friends and family about the JettNet.ORG Tournament. All Jett Family friends and relatives and their friends and relatives are invited to play.

The objective of the JettNet.ORG Tournament is simply to have fun. And best of all, there is no fee to join in on the fun, so you have nothing to lose. Of course, that also means there is no cash prize -- but the winner does get BRAGGING RIGHTS FOR ONE WHOLE YEAR!!!! And those of you who know the previous JettNet.ORG Champions are very aware that they "cashed in" on the Grand Prize many, many, many times.
