Quick Look Scoreboard
Once Sunday rolls around, the quick look scoreboard summarizes the days activites. It shows a count of the picked teams and the elimination results. |

|
Season Summary
As the season progresses, each player's weekly pick is displayed. Correct picks are green, incorrect picks are red. The summary also shows which picks were selected by default (because the player forgot to make a pick themselves) and shows the number of "buybacks" each person has used. Like most reports on the website, the season summary can be sorted by any column and can be printed or exported as an Excel spreadsheet. |
|
|
|
Multiple Entries & Multiple Picks Per Week
The website makes it easy to make picks if someone has more than one entry in the pool or if your pool requires that each person pick more than one team per week. Also, each person can control their own entry settings, such as when to receive the optional email reminder to make their pick. The website also makes it easy for one or more people to "share" an entry. |

Administrative Menu
