Fun Office Pools is completely FREE. There are no hidden charges. You may invite as many of your friends as you like to your pools without paying any fees. Please tell your friends about us and invite as many people as you like to your pools. Back to top.
You can opt in or out of receiving reminders or notices of new pools by updating your profile. You can change this by clicking the Your Profile link in the upper right hand corner of the main page. From there you can change your username, your password, your email, etc., and you can also change whether you opt in or out of reminder emails from Fun Office Pools
Fun Office Pools offers all types of Office Pools, including sports office pools, reality TV office pools, entertainment office pools, and specialty office pools. Current plans include:
If you have suggestions for other pools, let us know. Back to top.
Creating a pool is easy and can be done directly on the Home Page of Fun Office Pools in the Create A Pool section. Select which type of pool you want to create and you'll be taken to the Office Pool Parameter page. On this page you can enter various parameters for the pool, and choose any options available for that pool. After choosing the options, create the pool and you'll be taken to a screen that allows you to join your own pool. Create a selection or use one of your existing selections (if available for this type of pool). That's it. After creating the pool, it's time to invite your friends and to make your weekly picks! Back to top.
A Selection is your entry into a pool. A Player may have multiple Selections in each pool - it's up to the Pool Commissioner to allow it or not - if you don't want it, you can kick out a second Selection from a player - see Manage Members under the Pools Management Menu (you get there from the Your Pools Page and select the Pool you want to manage). You create your Selection when you Join A Pool. After creating a Selection, you make the picks for the Selection by clicking on the status link on either the Home Page of Fun Office Pools or the Your Pools Page. Back to top.
The easiest way is to go to your Manage Pool page and select the Invite tab. Enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite and send them invitations directly from our site. After you have invited people, your Contacts list is automatically updated so that you can easily invite them to future pools. Back to top.
In some pools, you can allow people to join late (College and NFL Pick'em Pools and College Bowl Pools allow this). In other pools, you can't (the NFL Survivor Pool does not allow late entries for obvious reasons). For pools that allow late entries, if you want that to happen, set the Pool Deadline date to be later than the default date suggested when setting up your pool. Once the Deadline date passes, no one will be allowed to join this pool. Back to top.
A public pool does not require a password - but then anyone that knows the name of your pool can join. A private pool requires a password and only people you tell the password to can join this pool. Back to top.
We know that you're busy and sometimes forget to get your picks in. All of the Fun Office Pools have default picks in case you don't get your picks in time. It varies on how the Default picks are done, but in general they are not bad picks. In College and NFL Pick'em, the Default Picks are the favorites. In the NFL Survivor Pool, it's either the best remaining team or worst remaining team (depending if you are picking winners or losers) as determined by last year's draft order. Back to top.
You can change any of the parameters you set when you created the pool by going to the Your Pools Page and selecting the pool you want to modify. On the next page, select Change Pool Parameters and then modify any of the parameters listed. Note, though, that if the pool has already started, changing some of the parameters may void selections already made or not make sense (changing winners to losers in the Survivor/Suicide pool, for instance).
