Four office pool formats

Same idea, four very different games. Free to run, each one links straight through to set up.

💀

Survivor

Knockout · Survival pool · Eliminator · Last man standing

One pick a week. Get it right and you live, get it wrong and you’re gone. You only get each team once all season, so the hard part is never this week — it’s November.

Squares

Super Bowl squares · Super Bowl box · Boxes · Grid pool

The classic Super Bowl squares pool, and it works on any game. Claim boxes on a grid; the numbers get drawn afterwards, so nobody can pick a good square — which is exactly why the whole office plays, football fans or not.

Pick’em

Pick em · The classic office football pool

Pick every game, every week. Most correct wins. Nobody gets knocked out, so the person who has a shocking opening week is still turning up in week six.

Gauntlet

Daily survivor · Every league in season

One pick a day from whatever’s playing — baseball, basketball, hockey, football, soccer. Nobody else runs this, and it’s the only one that keeps an office going in July.

Why run it here

Three things that aren’t marketing.

🐟

We never touch the money

Buy-ins are counted in sardines, not dollars. Players pay each other however they already do. The platform holds nothing and processes nothing — you get a ledger to track who’s settled up, and that’s the whole of it.

📄

Every pool prints a poster

Real pool name, real buy-in, and a QR code that actually works. Print it, stick it on the wall, and people join by pointing a phone at it. No invite list, no chasing.

📜

The rulebook writes itself

Rules are generated from your settings, not a generic page. Two strikes and buy-backs through week six? That’s what your players read, and what they can print. Nobody argues about a rule nobody agreed to.

Questions people ask

How much does it cost to run an office pool?

Nothing. Running a pool is free. Buy-ins are counted in sardines and settled directly between players — FantasyDailies never holds, transfers or processes anybody’s money.

Which pool is easiest for people who don’t follow football?

Squares, by a distance. Players claim boxes and the numbers are drawn afterwards, so no football knowledge is involved at all. It’s the format that gets a whole office playing.

What’s the difference between survivor and pick’em?

In survivor you make one pick a week and a single wrong pick eliminates you. In pick’em you pick every game and accumulate wins — you can’t be knocked out, so people stay involved all season.

Can a pool run outside the NFL season?

Yes. The Gauntlet is a daily survivor pool that runs on whichever leagues are in season — NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and MLS — so it keeps going through the summer when only baseball and soccer are playing.

Can I run a Super Bowl squares pool here?

Yes — that’s what most people use the squares format for. Set up a 100 or 25 box grid for the Super Bowl, share the link, and the numbers are drawn once the grid fills. It also runs on any other game: Monday night, Thanksgiving, a playoff round, or a regular season Sunday.

How do players actually pay each other?

However they already do — Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, cash in an envelope. The commissioner adds their handles when they create the pool, players see them, and the commissioner ticks people off in a private ledger as the money lands. Nobody else sees who’s paid.
