How to Configure Pick'em Pool for Playoffs

If you want your office football pool to run through the post-season, you'll need to be sure "Weeks in Post Season" is not set to 0. The following applies to all Pickem-style pools, including Confidence pools and Play Money pools.

League Manager Configuration

1) Navigate to Manager -> League Settings page. 
2) Set the number of post season weeks to the desired number. Normally managers set this to 4 for the entire post-season.



3) Optional (Pickem League Only): Configure post season points. On the Manager -> League Settings game, scroll down to the end of the Basic Settings section. Wins are normally worth 1 point, but for the post season you can make games worth more.  For pick'em pools you can also configure key games to be worth more in the post-season.



4) Optional (Pickem & Confidence Pools): If you want specific games to be worth more points than other games, Enable the option 'Manager Sets Schedule', then navigate to Manager -> Set Schedule  where you can configure games with different point values. 

That's pretty much it!
