04BEFORE KICKOFF
QUESTIONS,
ANSWERED.
The essentials for commissioners and members before the first pick is made.
When do weekly picks lock?
The commissioner sets the weekly lock time. Members can change picks until that deadline; after it passes, picks are locked and the week’s surviving-entry picks are revealed.
Can a pool be private?
Yes. Private pools appear in the Pool Directory, but a member must enter the pool’s join password before joining.
What happens if someone forgets to pick?
When autopicks are enabled, Run My Pool selects the best available eligible team at the weekly lock. Commissioners can review which entries received an autopick.
Do members have to pay?
No. Members join pools, manage entries, make picks, and follow results for free. Only the commissioner purchases hosting when a pool exceeds the Free plan.
Does Run My Pool handle prize money?
No. Run My Pool provides pool-management software and never collects entry stakes, holds prize funds, or distributes winnings.
