Pick sheets, explained
Pick'em on the games you choose — any league, any day.
Published · Updated
How does a pick sheet work?
The commissioner chooses the games and everyone picks the winner of each one, straight up — no spreads. Any mix works: a college Saturday, every bowl game, one NFL Sunday, an NBA night, or all of it on one sheet. A correct pick is worth one point, and the most points wins.
What is confidence scoring?
An optional mode where you rank every pick from 1 up to the number of games. Your surest pick gets the top number; a correct pick scores the rank you gave it, and each number can only be used once. It rewards knowing which games you actually know.
When do picks lock?
Each game locks at its own kickoff. You can change any pick until that game starts — Saturday's games can be locked while Sunday's are still open — and once a game kicks off, the pick on it is final.
What is the tiebreaker?
The closest guess of total points in the last game on the sheet. Everyone enters it with their picks; if two players finish level on points, the closer guess ranks higher.
Can the commissioner add games later?
Yes. The commissioner can add games any time from the manage page — up to 64 on one sheet — which is how bowl-season sheets work when matchups get set week by week. A game can be removed only before it kicks off, and picks on a removed game are cleared.
Which leagues can go on a sheet?
NFL, college football, and NBA games from the live schedule. Scores update automatically, so the standings keep themselves.
How do you join?
Open the pool link, type your name, and make your picks. Add your email if you want your private picks link sent to you. No app, no account.
What do winners get?
Bragging rights. KickoffPools never collects, holds, or pays out money and never awards prizes — it keeps score, that's it.
