In a pick’em pool, the format is refreshingly plain. Each week you get the slate for whichever league your pool is built on, and every player picks who they think will win each game. One correct pick equals one point. Add up the points, sort the list, and you have your weekly winner and your season leaders. There is no draft, no roster, no waiver wire — anyone who follows the sport, and plenty of people who don’t, can jump in from Week 1.

That accessibility is the whole appeal. A pick’em pool is the easiest way to get a big group of coworkers, friends or family playing together, because the rules fit on a sticky note. The hard part was never the picking. It was the bookkeeping — chasing down pick sheets, retyping them into a spreadsheet, and recalculating standings every Monday. That is the part the software takes off your plate.

Creating a pick’em pool takes a few minutes. You name the pool, choose your league, choose straight-up or against the spread, set your tiebreaker, and invite your players. From there each person picks weekly, the app scores the games, and you get clean standings without touching a spreadsheet. You can run more than one pool at once and add as many players as you want, and a single player can hold multiple entries if your group likes to run two or three sheets each.

It is free for up to 4 players, which is enough to try it with a small crew before your whole office joins. Beyond that, pricing scales down as your pool grows — roughly $3 per additional player over the free 4, then $2 per player (30–99) and $1 (100+), billed annually. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
