Predict the winning teams on your weekly pick sheet. The winner is the person with the most correct picks, generally, but there are many variations to how your game can be scored based on points and tiebreakers. Customize your pick sheet with select games from NFL and College weekly lineups. Use confidence ranks, bonus points for Key Picks, allow "Best Bet" picks (e.g. pick just 5 games from the weekend instead of the full picksheet) and much more.

Sample Pages

Main Settings

We cover all of the popular variations of Pick'em pools with our main settings page, so you can run the pool just the way you want. If you have special "twists" to your pool that you don't find in the settings, write us and we may be able to customize it for you.

Pick Deadline

Set the official weekly pick deadline for your pool using this page. If games start before your official deadline, your pool members have to get their picks in before the game starts. Once the game starts, their pick is locked in for that game, but they can change their picks for games that haven't started up until the official deadline.

Week Settings

Set the start and end week for your pool. You can also specify whether to drop pool members worst "N" weeks. This is often used to allow pool members to miss a week's picks (or just have a really bad week) without affecting their overall standings.

Tiebreaker Settings

We provide tiebreakers for both the weekly and season standings (they don't have to be the same).

Picksheet

This example is of a Key Picks picksheet. Other variations of Pickem pools use this same basic format but with features specific to each pool type. For example, a Confidence picksheet will include a dropdown for each game that allows you to select your "confidence rank" for that game.

We'll handle all the scoring and standings and we'll update your pool immediately as the games end. We provide auditing and pick confirmation emails, trash talk message boards, game analysis, telephone and email support for everyone in your pool, and much much more

Pickem Formats

All pool formats can be run with or without spreads

• Key Picks - Each player designates a certain number of their picks as "key picks". If their pick wins the game (or at least covers the spread) then they get additional bonus points. The number of key picks that each player must choose and the number of bonus points they receive are set by you, the pool manager.
• Best Bets - Each player picks only the games that they consider "Best Bets". You may have all 16 games on your picksheet (more if you're doing college), but then tell your players that they only have to choose their top 5 (or whatever) Best Bets. The number of Best Bets is set by you, the pool manager.
• Confidence Ranks - Players must rank their picks in the order of confidence (the higher the rank, the higher the player's confidence in that pick). If they pick right, they get a number of points equal to the confidence rank they assigned to that particular game. The default ranks for NFL are 16 (highest) down to 1. For college, it's the number of games n (highest) down to 1. We can accomodate a custom ranking scheme if you want to use your own.
• Standard Pickem - Simply pick the winner straight up or against the spread. For bowl pools, the pool manager can weight the games by assigning a point value for each one of the games on your picksheet. For example, you could make the BCS Championship game worth 3 points, all other BCS Bowl games 2 points, and the rest of the bowl games 1 point each.

Once you have decided on which style of pickem to use, you have many other settings to choose from in case you want to customize your pool even further (tiebreakers, point spreads, pick deadlines, automated emails, etc.). If you don't want to think too much about it, don't worry... all of our pickem pool types come with default settings that reflect the most popular way that pools have been run based on our 14 years of experience working with thousands of pool managers.

College Bowl Pools involve a single pick sheet that covers all three weeks of the Bowl Season. You, as pool manager, can select exactly which of the Bowl Games you want to include on the picksheet.

Have Fun!
