Tip: Use an email address you check regularly, as this is how you'll receive pool invitations and reminders.

You must be invited to join a pool by a pool administrator:

  • The administrator sends you an email invitation
  • Click the invitation link in the email
  • If you don't have an account, you'll be prompted to create one first
  • Once you have an account, you can accept the invitation
  • You'll automatically be added to the pool

Can't find the invitation email? Check your spam/junk folder and ask the administrator to resend it.

  1. Go to "Games & Picks" from the main menu
  2. You'll see all games for the current week
  3. Click on the team logo or name you think will win each game
  4. Enter your Monday Night Tiebreaker (total points in Monday's game)
  5. Your picks are saved automatically as you make them
Important: You cannot change picks after games have started!

The Monday Night Tiebreaker is used to break ties in weekly standings:

  • Enter the total combined points you think both teams will score in Monday Night Football
  • For example, if you think the final score will be 24-17, enter 41 (24+17)
  • The person closest to the actual total wins tiebreakers
  • This is especially important for weekly prizes or close standings

Strategy tip: Look at team averages and defenses to make an educated guess!

Yes, but only until the game starts!

  • You can change picks for any game that hasn't started yet
  • Once a game begins, picks are "locked" and cannot be changed
  • Games with a ?? lock icon cannot be modified
  • Make sure to finalize your picks before kickoff times
Tip: Enable email reminders in your profile to get notified before deadlines!

If you don't make picks for games:

  • You'll receive 0 points for those games

Scoring is straightforward:

  • Correct pick: 1 point
  • Incorrect pick: 0 points
  • No pick made: 0 points

Leaderboard rankings are based on:

  1. Total number of wins (correct picks)
  2. Win percentage (wins divided by total games)
  3. Monday Night Tiebreaker (for weekly ties)

Some pools may have additional scoring rules set by the administrator.

Leaderboard visibility depends on your pool's settings:

  • Enabled: All pool members can see standings
  • Disabled: Only pool administrators can view results
  • Some pools show weekly but not season standings (or vice versa)
  • Administrators can always see leaderboards regardless of settings

If you think you should be able to see leaderboards but can't:

  • Make sure you're viewing the correct pool
  • Contact your pool administrator
  • Check if you're looking at the right week/season
