Your rules
Set it up the way you already run it
Scoring, deadlines, tiebreakers, and the one-off exceptions every long-running pool collects. You decide how it runs, not us.
Private pool hosting
A better home for your pool. A simple price.
Set your pool up in one sitting, with the scoring, deadlines, and rules you actually want. You pay nothing until after the first week of picks.

entry
Kickoff season
Nothing upfront. Clean up the roster before you pay, and entries you remove won’t count.
- Invite when you’re ready
- No card to start
- No minimum charge
Commissioner first
Built for the whole job of running a pool
Your scoring, your tiebreakers, the exceptions you’ve added over the years: it’s all in the settings and tools, not in a support request or a spreadsheet.
Your people
Keep track of people and entries
Adding entries, fixing a bad pick, sorting out who’s actually in: built for someone doing it every week, not once a year.
Support
You reach a person, not a queue
When a game gets postponed or a member swears they submitted picks, there’s someone to ask who has run a pool. Set your pool up and you get a direct line: email, text, or phone.
Optional hands-on help
We’ll do the setup with you
Everything above is yours to configure. If you’d rather not, send us your rules and your roster and we’ll build it out, at any size and any number of pools.

Pricing details
Worth knowing before you start
A dollar an entry for the season, nothing upfront. Here’s how the counting and the timing actually work.
How much will my pool cost?
A dollar for each entry you keep. If 120 members put in 149 entries between them, the fee is $149. Your own entries count, and a member playing three times counts three times.
Can I remove entries before I pay?
Yes. Take out any entry that shouldn’t be in the pool, whether it never submitted a pick or you simply don’t recognize the name, and it won’t count. You only pay for the entries you keep.
When do I pay?
Nothing upfront. After the first week’s entry deadline we count the entries and show you the fee, and you can pay as soon as you see it. If you’d rather clean up the roster first, remove the entries that shouldn’t be there and the fee comes down with them. Payment is due by the second week’s entry deadline, and pools that haven’t paid by then are paused.
Can I see it before I move my pool over?
Yes. Create an account, set the pool up, and look at all of it before anyone else does. Nothing reaches your members until you send the invites.
What if nobody joins my pool?
Nothing. There is no minimum hosting fee, so if the pool never gets entries, you never get a bill.
Which formats can I run?
NFL survivor: winners or losers, one pick a week or several, with strikes or second chances. NFL pick’em: straight up, against the spread, or by confidence. Postseason pools for the NFL and college: survivor, pick’em, and brackets. All at the same dollar an entry.
Can I run a large pool or more than one pool?
Yes to both, at the same rate and the same self-service setup. Nobody has to talk to us to run a bigger pool.
Does Picksheet handle buy-ins or prizes?
No. Dues, buy-ins, and prize money stay between you and your members, exactly as they do now. The hosting fee is the only money that comes to us.
