A playoff pool gives regulars a reason to come back for every game. Run a pick'em or bracket pool, put the join link on a table tent, and show the standings between periods.

## A setup that works in a bar

- **[Pick'em](https://officehockeypool.ca/pick-em-pool)** for nightly play: people can join any night and still win.
- Put the **invite link** on a table tent or chalkboard, or turn it into a QR code.
- Open the standings page on the bar TV between periods.
- Prizes such as a gift card, a jersey night or a wing night work well. Check your province's rules before taking entry money; we never handle it.

## Size

Free covers 20 entries. For a busy bar, the $29 Pool Pass covers up to 500 for the whole playoffs.
