Step 1: General Settings
- Pool Name:
- Give your pool a custom name (e.g., World Cup 2024 Pick’em Challenge).
- Start and End Dates:

- Show Team Owners in Standings – Displays real names and profile pictures in the leaderboard
Step 2: Scoring Settings
- Max Picks per Game Day:
- Set how many matches poolies can pick each day (default allows picks for all available games).
- Drop Lowest Periods (Optional):
- Choose to drop 0–4 of a poolie’s lowest-scoring match days or weeks from their total score. Helpful for longer tournaments or to allow a buffer for missed picks.
- Scoring Type:
- The format is Straight-Up only — participants pick the match winner or select a draw.
- Default Scoring:
- 1 point is awarded per correct pick.
- Click Save to finalize your settings.
Step 3: Invite Poolies
Once your pool is created:
- Head to the Invites tab.
- Share the Shareable Invite Link for mass invites, or use Personal Invite Links for direct, one-time invitations.
Participants can begin making picks as soon as the tournament schedule is available.
How do I invite people to my International Tournament pick’em pool?
Once your Pick’em pool is set up, inviting participants is easy. You have two options:
1. Shareable Invite Link (Best for Groups)
- Go to the Invites tab in the Admin menu.
- Copy the Shareable Invite Link and send it via email, text, or social media.
- This link can be used multiple times and allows for multiple team entries (if enabled).
2. Personal Invite Link (One-Time Use)
- In the Invites tab, select the Email option.
- Enter email addresses manually or select from previous pools.
- Click Add, then Send.
Note: Personal Invite Links are single-use and not intended for group sharing.
You can monitor the status of your invites by clicking Sent Invites under the Invites tab.
How does a poolie claim/connect to a team?
If a team was entered by the admin, the poolie simply needs to sign in using the same email the admin used.
- If the poolie doesn’t yet have an account, they’ll need to create and verify one.
- If they use a different email, the admin must update the email in Admin > Roster > Team List to match their OfficePools account.
