Getting in

Your name and PIN

How the tabs work

My sheet — your picks for the week

Tap the team you think wins each game and choose its rank, fill in the tiebreak, then tap Save sheet. Only a saved, complete sheet counts. Before the lock you see your own sheet and the names of who has one in — nobody’s picks, and nobody sees yours.

Grid — every sheet, after the lock

Everyone’s picks side by side. Wrong picks are blanked as the games finish. On a phone, swipe sideways to see every player.

Points — the week’s standings

Everyone by points, highest first, updated as games go final. The winner is named once every game is over.

The ‹ › arrows at the top change the week on every tab.
