One pick. One Sunday. Survive.

Player Onboarding Guide

Getting started

1. 01

   Create your account

   Open the app and choose Create account. You'll need an email address, a password of at least eight characters, and a display name.

   Your display name is how the rest of the league sees you on Standings and Who's In, so use something they'll recognize.

   • Everyone uses their own real account — there is no shared login.
   • You're signed in immediately after creating the account.
2. 02

   Join your pool

   Your commissioner gives you an invite code. On your first screen, choose Join a pool and paste the code exactly as it was sent.

   Once you're in, the pool appears in the switcher at the top right. If you play in more than one pool, use that switcher to change which one you're looking at.

3. 03

   Create or claim your entry

   An entry is your line in the pool. Go to My picks and name your entry — that name shows up next to yours in the standings.

   If your commissioner already created an entry for you, claim it instead of making a new one.

   • Some pools allow more than one entry per person. If yours does, each entry tracks its own used teams and its own survival.
   • Switch between your entries at the top of My picks.
4. 04

   Make your pick

   On My picks, choose the week, then tap the team you want from that week's matchups. That's the whole pick.

   Teams you've already used in a prior week are locked out and can't be selected again. The full 32-team grid at the bottom of the screen shows used versus available at a glance.

   • You can change your pick as many times as you like until the week locks.
   • The screen opens on the earliest week you haven't picked yet.
5. 05

   Know the deadline

   Each week has a deadline. When it passes — or when your commissioner locks the week manually — picks are final.

   Before the lock, nobody can see your pick but you and the commissioner. After the lock, every pick in the pool is visible on League picks.

   • No pick submitted by the lock means no protection that week.
   • The commissioner can set or correct a pick even after the lock if something needs fixing.
6. 06

   Survive or go out

   When the games are done, the commissioner enters the winners and scores the week.

   Your team won: you advance and your status stays ALIVE. Your team lost: your entry is marked OUT · WK n and it stops picking for the rest of the season.

7. 07

   Where to look

   Five screens cover everything you'll need during the season.

   • My picks — your entry, your week, your pick. Only ever yours.
   • Results — what happened each week and how your entry fared.
   • League picks — everyone's picks, once the week is locked.
   • Standings — every entry, week by week, alive first.
   • Who's in — the simplest view: still in versus eliminated.
8. 08

   Winning and the early split

   The pool runs until one entry is left standing. That entry is the CHAMPION and a banner goes up on Standings.

   Your commissioner can also end the pool early — for example if only a few entries remain and everyone agrees to stop. In that case the pool is split among every entry still alive at that moment.
