● THE PLAYBOOK
HOW IT
WORKS
Three steps to a live pool, three ways to play, and zero spreadsheets. Here's the whole game plan — every feature your crew gets when you spin up a league.
THE FLOW
From group chat to game day in three steps.
CREATE
Spin up a league and set the house rules. Live in under a minute.
INVITE
One link in the group chat and your crew's in. No app to download.
PLAY
Make picks, watch the board move, and talk all the trash you can back up.
POOL TYPES
Three ways to play — run one or stack all three.
Every format is auto-scored and auto-ranked. You set the dials; we keep the board honest.
PICK'EM
Pick one marquee game or the whole slate — straight up or against the spread. Run it weekly or chase points all season.
1 point per pick — or turn on confidence points to weight your locks.
Games per week: 1 to all · Spread · Confidence · Weekly or season-long.
Weekly pots, a season-long champ, or both — multiple ways to play.
SQUARES
Claim boxes on a 10×10 grid for the big game before kickoff.
Numbers drawn at lock. Match the last digit of each team's score.
Price per square · Single or multi-board · Numbers drawn automatically at lock.
Per quarter + final score — you set how the pot splits.
SURVIVOR
Pick one team to win each week — no repeats all season long.
Right and you advance. Wrong and you take a strike — run out of strikes and you're done.
One pick a week · Optional buy-back · Strikes configurable.
Last buddy standing takes the whole pot. Split if it's a draw.
LEAGUE TOOLS
Everything the commissioner needs, nothing they don't.
Buy-ins tracked
See who's paid, who owes, and link Venmo or Cash App so payouts stay clear.
Live scoring
Boards update every quarter so the standings move while the games do.
Pick reminders
Auto-nudges before lock so nobody forgets and blames the app.
League chat
A built-in board for the smack talk, screenshots, and victory laps.
Weekly recaps
An auto-written rundown of winners, losers, and the season history.
Commissioner controls
Approve members, edit picks, fix scores, and settle ties your way.
STILL HUDDLING?
The quick FAQ.
Is this real gambling?
Nope — it's friendly pools between friends. We track the fun, the picks, and the standings. How your crew settles up is up to you.
Can I run more than one pool?
Yep. Stack Pick'em, Squares, and Survivor in the same league and run them all season.
Can players change their picks?
Right up until the lock at kickoff. After that they're stuck with 'em — no take-backs.
What happens on a tie?
Each format has a built-in tiebreaker, and the commissioner can always override or split the pot.
