SPORTS PICKEROffice Pick'em Pools That Build Team Spirit (Without the Spreadsheet)
The office pool is one of the few things that gets the warehouse, the sales floor and accounting talking to each other. It falls apart when one person has to collect picks by email and score them by hand on Monday. Here is how to run one that takes care of itself.
Keep money out of it
Most companies are happier with prizes than pots. A gift card, the winner picks the team lunch, or a trophy that moves desk to desk all work. Sports Picker never collects or holds money, which keeps things simple for HR.
Make it private
Make the pool restricted so only people you add can join. Upload a spreadsheet of names and emails, or share a join code in the company chat. Add a co-commissioner in each office so nobody has to run it alone.
Pick a format everyone will finish
A straight pick'em is the best fit for a big group. Add weekly head-to-head matchups if you want department rivalries, and run a March Madness bracket in the spring. For the Super Bowl, a free squares board gives everyone a stake in the game.
Let it post to your chat
Connect the pool to Slack, Teams or Discord and lock alerts and weekly results post to a channel. A weekly recap email goes to everyone with the winner and the upset nobody saw coming.
Try it with your clients
A branded pool for customers or partners is a weekly touchpoint they actually enjoy. Add your logo and colors and invite them with a join code.
