One App for Every Office Pool: Football, March Madness, MLB, NHL and Golf

How to run every office pool of the year in one app, from NFL and bowl season through March Madness, the Masters and the MLB playoffs, with one account, one invite flow and no money handled by the app.

Updated

Yes, you can run every office pool in one app. PikSheet runs pools for every major sport — football (NFL and college), basketball (NBA), baseball (MLB), hockey (NHL) and golf (PGA TOUR and the majors) — with auto-scoring on the web, iOS and Android. Every pool sits under one account: the same invite link, the same standings and reminders, and the same rule that PikSheet never touches the money. Golf pools open on PikSheet ahead of the 2027 PGA TOUR season. MLB Slate Pick'em and MLB Survivor pools open ahead of the 2027 MLB season. March Madness pools are coming.

Why run every office pool in one app?

  • Members sign up once. The next pool is one invite link away, on the web or in the iOS and Android apps.
  • One place for standings. Scores and standings update as games finish, and the Field view shows everyone's picks after lock.
  • Reminders that work across sports: push notifications before picks lock, so fewer people miss a week.
  • The commissioner tools are the same everywhere: co-commissioners, picks for a member who's stuck, multiple entries per member.
  • No ads, no pop-ups and no gambling promotions in front of coworkers.

Who handles the money in an office pool?

The commissioner. PikSheet never collects entry fees or pays prizes; commissioners settle up the way the office always has. PikSheet charges for the app: $1.00 per billable entry for a competitive pool's first 25 entries, $0.75 for the next 50 and $0.50 after that, per season; Box pools are billed by covered game and cap at $30. Many commissioners fold that into a small entry fee.

How do I keep an office pool simple?

  • Post the rules before the first lock and don't change them mid-season.
  • Pick formats that need little time: Pick'em or Survivor for football, a bracket for March Madness, a tiered pool for the Masters.
  • Use per-game locks so a late pick only misses the games already started.
  • Check your workplace's policy on pools and entry fees before you collect any money.
