About

PoolIQ

Read full description

PoolIQ is the easiest way to run a group sports pool — no more spreadsheets, group texts, or manually tallying picks every week. SIX WAYS TO PLAY, ALL IN ONE APP • Survivor / Eliminator — pick one team to win each week, no repeats, one loss and you're out • Straight Pick'em — pick every winner, most correct picks wins • ATS Pick'em — pick against the spread • Confidence — rank every game 1 through N and pick straight-up winners; get it right and bank the points you assigned it • ATS Confidence — same idea as Confidence, but against the spread • Squares — the classic 10x10 grid, numbers randomly assigned once the board fills up BUILT FOR COMMISSIONERS Create a pool and invite your group with a link. PoolIQ handles the rest: real names (not just handles), standings computed automatically from real game results, and a simple payment-owed tracker so you always know who still needs to pay up. BUILT FOR PLAYERS Everyone picks from their phone. Standings update themselves as games go final — no more waiting on the commissioner to update a spreadsheet. FAIR AND TRANSPARENT Free to start — run one pool format with as many members as you want. A $15 season pass unlocks all six formats at once, custom scoring, and full payment tracking for the commissioner. PoolIQ never touches your pool's money. No rake, no cut of anyone's pot. Payment tracking just shows who's paid and who hasn't — you settle up with your group however you already do.
