FAQ - General

  • Why don't you use the official league name?

    The NFL and other leagues require significant fees to use their trademarks. While we plan to have the resources for that in the future, for now, we must use alternative names to avoid potential trademark issues.

FAQ - Pool Setup

  • Can I switch between a Confidence Pool and PickEm pool game type?

    Yes, you have the flexibility to switch between different game types on a weekly basis. For instance, Week 1 could be a PickEm week with spreads, and Week 2 could be a Confidence pool week. The pool administrator can set the game type for each week by navigating to Pool Settings > Game Type. Note: The game type cannot be changed once the games for the week have begun

  • How many people can I add to a pool?

    Invite as many people as you'd like—the more, the better! Our platform is designed to accommodate any number of players, with screens that expand vertically to fit everyone as your pool grows.

  • What are the ways I can invite people to my pool?

    As the pool admin, you have three options for inviting people: you can email them directly through the platform, generate a QR code for easy scanning, or simply share a link through any method you prefer. Go to Pool Settings > Add/Remove Members for all available options.

  • Can I join multiple pools at the same time?

    Absolutely! You can join as many pools as you like with a single account using the same login credentials. Simply use the dropdown menu in the navigation to switch between pools.

FAQ - Game Play

  • Can I change my picks after submitting them?

    Yes, you can update your picks as many times as you'd like before the games begin. Once the games start, all pick submissions will be locked.

  • Can I play with people in different locations?

    Yes! Since Pick the Game is an online platform, you can play with people from anywhere in the world.

FAQ - Pool Admin

  • Can I change my picks after submitting them?

    Yes, you can update your picks as many times as you'd like before the games begin. Once the games start, all pick submissions will be locked.

  • When and how do I pay for the pool?

    Payments are due by the start of the third week. Pool admins will receive a notification when payment is approaching. To make a payment, go to Pool Settings > Payments. Please note, the pool admin is responsible for covering the entire pool cost, as we do not accept individual payments from players.
