What PikSheet handles
- Scores and schedules come from a live data feed that updates every couple of minutes during games. Grading runs on the server, so every member sees the same result.
- Against-the-spread pools use lines set at the start of each week, or the commissioner's own lines. Once a week's lines are set they don't change.
- Picks lock by week, by day or game by game. After lock, the Field view shows everyone's picks.
- Optional auto-picks for members who miss a lock, multiple entries per member, and commissioner overrides.
- PikSheet never touches entry fees or prize money. Commissioners collect and pay out the way their league always has.
NFL pool questions
What NFL pool formats does PikSheet support?+
Nine: Pick'em, High 5, Confidence, Margin, Survivor, Best Bet, Touchdown Calls, One and Done Fantasy, and Box pools (10×10 squares). Pick'em, High 5 and Best Bet can be played straight up or against the spread.
What's the best NFL pool format for an office pool?+
Pick'em is the easiest to explain to a mixed group: pick a winner in every game, one point per correct pick. Groups that want more strategy usually add Confidence (rank your picks 1 to N) or Survivor (one team a week, no repeats, one loss and you're out).
Can I run Super Bowl squares on PikSheet?+
Yes. Box pools are 10×10 squares grids: members claim squares, numbers are randomized at kickoff, and the winner of each quarter is the square matching the last digit of each team's score. Super Bowl LXI is February 14, 2027.
Does PikSheet collect entry fees or pay out winnings?+
No. PikSheet runs the picks, scoring and standings. Commissioners handle the pot themselves, by Venmo, Zelle, cash or however their pool already works.
