SPORTS PICKERHow it works
Set up the company pool
Pick the NFL, March Madness or the Super Bowl. Add the company logo and keep it private, or make it restricted so only people you add can join.
Invite everyone at once
Upload a spreadsheet of names and emails, or share a join code in the all-hands. Add co-commissioners in each office.
Let the results post themselves
Lock alerts and weekly results post to Slack, Teams or Discord. Weekly recap emails go to everyone.
Ways to use it
Department rivalries
Run a pool per department, or one big pool with head-to-head matchups every week.
March Madness bracket
The classic: a full 63-game bracket with standings everyone checks between meetings.
Super Bowl squares
A free squares board for the whole company, with a gift card or an extra day off for the winners.
Remote-friendly
Everyone plays from their phone or laptop, wherever they work. The chat keeps it social.
Prizes, not pots
Gift cards, a trophy that travels desk to desk, or the winner picks the team lunch.
Client pools
Run a pool for your customers or partners with your brand on it. It is a weekly touchpoint they actually enjoy.
HR-friendly by design
No money changes hands
Sports Picker never collects or holds money. Keep it to prizes and bragging rights.
Private and fair
Picks stay hidden until they lock, so nobody copies anybody, including the commissioner.
Easy to run
Scores and standings update on their own. Nobody spends Monday matching picks against box scores.
Every pool includes
Live scores
Results and standings update every few minutes during games.
Trash talk chat
Each pool has its own chat with stickers, GIFs and @mentions.
Reminders
Email and phone notifications before picks lock.
Works on any phone
Add it to your home screen like an app. Nothing to download.
