Pick’em

Pick home or away on the NFL slate each week against the contest line (ATS). Everything is points only — Boxd Sports never handles money.

Pick’em is its own format — no 10×10 box board. You get a weekly pick screen, standings, a picks board matrix, multi-entry, and an awards sheet you configure in points.

Start free. Every organizer gets 3 pools with Pool Pro included — ANY format, box pools and season pools alike. Those 3 include everything Pool Pro does: automatic scoring, camera Live Draw, the full toolkit. A pool counts toward the 3 only when it STARTS — numbers drawn for a box pool, Week 1 lock for Survivor and Pick'em, the first game's draw for Rollover and series. Create and delete freely before that; it costs nothing. Once started it counts permanently. Deleting does not give the slot back. A 4th pool of any format requires Pool Pro. Season pools count toward the 3 AND get only their free window: 3 weeks for Survivor and Pick'em, 3 games for Rollover and series. Then Pool Pro. Joining other people's pools is unlimited and always free. Templates, the schedule, and Points Tracker are included.

For the owner — create & configure

1. Create. Tap + New Pool → Pick’em. Name the pool, set entry points (tracking only), and any notes for house rules.

2. Slate (NFL). Choose how much of the season you’re running:

When you create, Boxd Sports seeds the schedule from the NFL slate so you’re not typing every matchup by hand. Contest lines (spreads) feed in for ATS scoring; owners can still adjust lines before they freeze.

3. How picks score (ATS). New pools default to against the spread: a correct pick must cover the contest line. An exact margin is a push (no points). You can still choose pick winners vs pick losers as the style of pick.

4. Scoring mode (confidence). Choose how correct picks earn points:

Push or miss always scores 0. Ranking only multiplies correct covers.

5. Picks per week (when not forced by Top 3 / Top 5).

6. Awards (points only). On create (and edit, until things lock), open the award structure:

The awards sheet shows those lines in points. Boxd Sports records who was awarded what for display — it never moves points between people.

7. Multi-entry. Players can hold more than one entry under the same account (you set a max, or unlimited). Each entry has its own picks and standings line. New entries are allowed until the entry lock (below).

Running the season

8. Making picks. Players open Make Picks, choose home or away per game (and ranks when the scoring mode needs them), and switch entries at the top if they have more than one. Each game locks at its own kickoff.

9. Picks Board. The Picks Board is a matrix of everyone’s picks for a week. Your own picks are always visible to you. Other people’s picks for a game show after that game has kicked off, is final, or has an official result.

10. Standings. Weekly and season standings list every entry and its points for that scoring mode. VIP players follow live records and ranks while games are on; Free players get completed results.

11. Entry lock. Once any game on the slate has kicked off, no new entries can be added. Get multi-entries set before that first kickoff.

12. Scoring. Every pool connects to real-game scores and contest lines. Every organizer gets 3 pools with Pool Pro included — ANY format, box pools and season pools alike. Those 3 include everything Pool Pro does: automatic scoring, camera Live Draw, the full toolkit. Owners can still correct results manually.

For players

What Boxd Sports does not do

For entertainment purposes only. Boxd Sports organizes and manages your pool — it does not collect, hold, or transfer money or anything of monetary value.
