March Madness has brackets. The draft should have pools.

Tiebreakers
Private Pools

Make your own draft room

Create a private pool for group chats, fantasy leagues, office pools, and NFL Draft sickos. Set an entry deadline, share a code, and let the board decide it.

A simple code keeps the room private while everyone submits through the same Round 1 entry flow.

Why It Fits UpsideIndex

Built on the same draft intelligence as the simulator

The pool is not just a blank pick sheet. It sits beside the same UpsideIndex workflow that weighs production, athleticism, historical comps, team needs, ADP, and depth-chart logic. You still have to make the calls. The difference is that the research stack is already in the room.

Live Pool Workspace

Create a room, submit a board, track the leaderboard.

The v2 pool flow runs locally today: create public or private pools, join by code or invite link, submit a Round 1 simulator entry, and score the room from official results when the draft starts.

FAQ

A few rules before the board opens.

When does the pool lock?

The pool locks before the first pick begins on draft night.

Do I need to predict trades?

No. Score by final player, team, and slot. If a team trades into a slot, exact-pick scoring follows the final draft result.

Can I create a private pool?

Yes. Private pools are built for group chats, leagues, offices, and draft rooms.

Is this Round 1 only?

Yes. The initial Draft Pool is Round 1 only.
