Pool Manager Configuration Options

• Setting the pickem pool to be straight up or against the spread. If against the spread, the line can be set to variable (player gets the line at the time of his pick), or fixed (all players get the same line).
• Specifying your own point values for each game (the default is 1 point on each game).
• Specifying an exact number of weekly pickem games to pick (default is all games). Run a Pick 5 football pool, Pick 7 football pool, Pick 10 football pool, etc.
• Selecting which games your league picks each week (you can set the schedule; default is all games).
• Configure whether or not your online pickem league continues through the post season.



• Configuring a "jackpot" that builds each week using a % of player fees, that triggers when a player wins a configured number of games in a given week (e.g. 7 for a "Perfect 7" pickem league).
• Optional "Key Games" feature where players are awarded extra points for games they pick correctly that they had check-marked as a key game.
• Configuring your league to be a weekly pickem football pool. The Standings page will default to the week's standings instead of the season standings.
• Allow your players to create up to 8 clones to use to fill out separate pick sheets to increase their chances of winning.
• Specifying weekly pickem prizes from 1st to 3rd place.
• Specifying final season prizes for 1st through 4th place, best total tie-breakers, and best overall Strength of Victory.
• One custom prize, where you name the prize and set the winner when appropriate (for example, "highest weekly pick em total").
• Ability to customize the Pickem Pool Rules page for your league.
• "Bye" week feature that allows a player to forget a week in the pick'em pool and not be hopelessly out of contention. If enabled, the worst regular season week for each player is subtracted from their total points (only total points are affected, other stats such as win-loss record remain intact). The online pickem football pool's Standings page will indicate the bye week determined for each player.
• Optional AutoPick feature that generates picks for players who missed the deadline.



• Tracking of player league fees and per-player note annotation (e.g. "this player gave me a check on Tuesday"), and optional notification to the player when they log in to the site if they have a balance due. You can also configure your pickem pool to be weekly, where weekly cost for a player is updated only for those weeks they submit picks.
• Set up your pick'em league to accept credit card payments for your league fee. This requires you to set up a PayPal free business account that you can link to your bank.
• Office football pool branding - add your own logo and background colors to your pickem league. You also get your own branded login page.
• Download your pickem football league's standings to an excel spreadsheet.
