In a pick'em pool, members pick the winner of each playoff game, and each game locks at its own puck drop. It's the friendliest format for big or casual groups: miss a night and you only miss those games, and someone who joins in round two can still win.

## How scoring works

One point per correct pick by default (the Pool Pass lets you change it). Ties share a rank. Everyone's picks for a game show up once that game starts, so nobody can copy the leader.

## Good for

- Offices where people drift in and out
- [Sports bars](https://officehockeypool.ca/for/sports-bars) running a nightly board
- Groups that want something to follow every night of the playoffs

## Questions

### What if I forget to pick a game?

A missed game scores zero. Your other picks still count.

### Can I change a pick?

Yes, any time before that game starts.
