March Mammal Madness - League Options
For the March Mammal Madness pools, there are no changeable league options.
The following league options will be used:
Players pick the whole bracket, all the battles, before the first battle starts.
The league commish can make late picks for league players. To do so, use the settings icon to the right of each player's name on the leaderboard. Late picks are available for a limited amount of time, so get your picks in as soon as you can.
Players can see other league members' picks before the battles begin.
Points rewarded for each correct pick will increase each round. For the 6 rounds in MMM, points won are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. (the Fibonacci sequence)
Combatants are seeded 1 thru 16. Seeds indicate the estimated probability of success. But seeds do not affect the points received.
The point value for each pick, along with other combatant info, is shown on the pick'em page once picks are available.
General League Info
• A poolsmmm league is a group of people who compete against each other in a poolsmmm pool.
• You can set up a league or join a league within any pool. Leagues are optional.
• All leagues are private.
• Leagues include a leaderboard, reports and a built-in email/text message board.
• To start a league, enter a league name and invite people to join.
• To join a league, accept an invitation from a league commish.
• poolsmmm can send league invitations by email, text, message etc.
• You can be in multiple leagues per pool.
• All logged in players not in a league still compete on the All Players Public leaderboard.
If your league ends in a tie, the tiebreaker entry that is closest to the total points scored in the last game of the pool, wins the league.
League members still compete on the All Players leaderboards as well as their own league leaderboard.
League Features
One Login, Multiple Picks
The league commish can add league players that are not able to login to the site themselves by just adding a name for each person. The commish must make picks for these "no-login" players. No-login players can still browse to your league leaderboard and see their picks, but can not make picks. Add as many league players as you'd like.
Branding
You can upload banner and icon images to customize your league pages to your organization or group's style.
League Commish
League commissioners have expanded capabilities, including:
• Make late picks for tardy league members.
• Adjust league members' game points total. (if you want to play it a bit different)
• See who has or has not made their picks.
• Send league invitations and messages.
• Send emails to all league players.
• League page branding with your own banner and icon pics.
• See the settings icon next to your name on the leaderboard!
League Invitations
League Invitations can be sent by email, which poolsmmm sends for you, or by any type of text or message which includes a provided league join link. If you've hosted a league before, you can easily copy last year's league or selectively import members from any previous league.
And ...
• The All Players Picks page shows all league players' picks in one place.
• You can see the results and all members picks of any past league you have been a part of.
