The rules for the referee.

What Pickwarden is

A Google Sheets add-on that runs a pro football pick 'em pool: weekly tabs, per-game deadlines, results and standings. It works only in the spreadsheets it is installed in. We may change and improve it, and we will say so on this site when a change affects how pools run.

For fun, not for money

Pickwarden never handles entry fees or any money between members. The commissioner runs the pool: who plays, the rules, ties and disputes, and anything involving money between members, which happens outside Pickwarden. Use it only where a pool like yours is allowed, and never to change another member's picks.

Schedules, scores and deadlines

Game times and scores come from outside sources and can be late or wrong. Pickwarden locks each pick before its listed kickoff and fills in results when they arrive, and a commissioner can correct a result.

Pickwarden is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, Pickwarden is not responsible for a wrong score, an early or missed lock, a lost pick, or any loss that comes from how a pool is run.

Price

If paid plans are introduced, the price and terms will be shown on this site and on the Google Workspace Marketplace listing before any charge, and nothing is charged without your agreement.

Data sources

Schedules and final scores come from nflverse, used under the CC BY 4.0 license. Live scores come from the BALLDONTLIE API.
