2026 status

Open for payments. Waiting on CBS.

The site is the cleaner home base for the pool, but the operating process is the same: LeagueSafe for payments, CBS for picks once CBS opens, and weekly email for the official season updates.

Open now

LeagueSafe payments

2026 entry is open through LeagueSafe. Paid players are tracked as paid pending CBS until CBS opens the 2026 Pick'em season.

Pending

CBS pick'em

CBS is not open yet for the 2026 season. Once it opens, Alex will send the CBS league link by email.

Main channel

Weekly email

Email is still where weekly recaps, payout notes, standings reminders, and required updates will go during the season.

Optional

Facebook group

The Facebook group is useful for screenshots, comments, and community, but it is not required and it is not the only source of truth.

Open Facebook group

Season command center

Everything has a lane.

The public site explains the pool. LeagueSafe handles payment. CBS handles picks. Email remains the official weekly recap and reminder system.

How it works

Pay now, join CBS when it opens.

LeagueSafe can open before CBS. If you pay before CBS opens the 2026 Pick'em season, you are marked paid pending CBS. The CBS link goes out once it opens.

  1. Pay through LeagueSafe.
  2. Confirm your best email with Alex.
  3. Join CBS once the 2026 Pick'em season opens.
  4. Make picks against the spread every week.
  5. Weekly winners are awarded and tracked every week.
  6. LeagueSafe releases funds after the season once payouts open and get approved.

2025 proof

Last season paid a lot of people.

The pool got big, but the money still moved around. Weekly awards gave more people a real chance to win during the season.

61 people won money at least once
37 people won their entry back
25 people won money in multiple weeks
5 end-of-season payout spots in 2025

Privacy approach

Public proof, private player details.

The site can help recruiting and sponsors without turning every weekly result into a searchable public name record. That is the right line for now.

Public Rules, entry timing, prize-pool proof, anonymized recap summaries, sponsor info.
Private Full names, full standings, weekly screenshots, payment confirmations, CBS links.
Opt-in later Winner spotlights, sponsor shoutouts, public leaderboard names, testimonials.

Public recap archive

The archive stays useful without putting people on blast.

Public recaps show season context, payout structure, and proof of activity. Full names and detailed standings stay in the weekly email, CBS, and private group.

Weekly updates

The weekly email stays the main update.

Winners, standings notes, pick reminders, and payout updates go out by email. The website gives those updates a cleaner place to live after they are sent.

What the site adds

  • A simple place to send new people for the basics.
  • A recap archive for people who miss an email.
  • A cleaner explanation of payouts, LeagueSafe, CBS, and timing.
  • Sponsor and support info kept separate from player entry fees.

Optional support

Entry fees go to the prize pool.

Any support option is optional and separate from entry fees. The weekly updates, standings notes, and payout tracking are still part of the pool.

Referral program
