All pool types
Margin
One pick a week. Get it right by a lot.
Pick one game per week. Score the actual margin of victory — negative if you miss. PikSheet handles the rules, pick submission, lock timing, field reveal, standings, and commissioner controls from one place.
How it works
The format stays familiar to your league; PikSheet keeps the weekly mechanics clear and consistent.
- 1Pick exactly one game each week — and one team from that game.
- 2If your team wins, you score the margin of victory.
- 3If your team loses, you score the negative of the margin.
- 4You cannot reuse a team during the regular season.
- 5Highest cumulative margin at season's end wins.
Member flow
Members see the current week, make the required picks, and can edit anything that has not locked yet.
Field reveal
After lock, the pool can see who picked what without chasing text threads or screenshots.

Game results update the leaderboard according to this format's rules and history.
