Our website allows you to run an office pool of virtually any type using either our tournament bracket maker, a tournament rankem bracket, or our Q&A pool format. These are in addition to our variety of pro and college football pools and March Madness pools. And as has always been the case, our site hosts your office pool for free!
For a generic office pool, The Q&A format (also called a prop bet pool or prediction pool), is especially useful if you don’t want to be limited to a strict tournament style format, as it gives you an almost unlimited range of options. You set up a series of questions and configure point values to the potential responses. You can also create a weekly prediction pool, where standings are tallied weekly in addition to overall standings for the entire season.

Getting Started
If you want to run a tournament style pool, we suggest first trying out our renowned free bracket maker. Otherwise, for complete flexibility you should start by creating a Custom Q&A (Prop Bet) pool*. Don’t feel like you need to configure all the questions up front, you can always add or remove questions and change other settings such as pick deadline after you create your pool. If you want to run a weekly prop bet pool, visit our help page How to run a Weekly Q&A Pool.
If you have any questions or need help please visit our help desk where you can look for answers in our knowledge base, or you can submit a ticket with your question!
*Note: The Custom Q&A pool requires a small premium if you configure more than 7 questions per event or week.
