Draft Together. Compete All Season. No Spreadsheets Required.

RotoPools is a social draft platform for friends who want the energy of draft night without paper sheets, duplicate picks, or somebody babysitting a spreadsheet.

Built for live draft nights at bars, living rooms, draft parties, and the friends joining from somewhere else.

Draft night should feel like the event, not the admin.

RotoPools is built for the actual draft-night mess: names getting shouted across the room, duplicate picks, one person stuck updating the board, and everyone asking who is still available.

How it works

The setup is simple enough for a spontaneous draft night, but polished enough to feel like the right way to run your pool.

1

Create your pool

Start a Home Run Pool, Goal Pool, or another simple draft format built for quick setup and a clean draft experience.

2

Draft from your phones

Share the room link, put the board on a TV, and let everyone make picks live without shouting names into a spreadsheet.

3

Watch the season unfold

Once the draft is done, standings and player totals keep updating so the league stays alive long after draft night.

In your hand on draft night. In your pocket all season.

Make your pick in seconds from your phone, then follow the standings as the season plays out.

Picking on a phone: Matt Olson is selected, a Draft Matt Olson button sits above the list of available players.

Phone picks that take seconds

No paper sheets, no laptops being passed around, and no hunting through a messy interface when it is your turn to pick.

League standings on a phone: six teams ranked by home runs, with the leader's players and today's home runs expanded.

Standings that keep the league alive

Once draft night ends, the pool becomes something to follow and talk about instead of something somebody has to maintain.

Start simple. Keep it fun.

RotoPools is built for social, easy-to-understand formats that draft well and stay fun all season without lineup management or fantasy-site sprawl.

Football/Basketball

Squares

Set up a board for the big game or tournament, fill the squares from your sign-up sheet, and let the live score pick the winners.

Baseball

Home Run Pools

Draft sluggers, track totals, and let the standings move every time the ball leaves the yard.

Hockey

Goal Pools

Simple, fast, and built for the kind of hockey pool friends actually want to run without extra overhead.

Flexible

More formats ahead

Built to support new simple pool formats as the platform grows without losing speed or clarity.

Why RotoPools exists

It started because our own draft nights kept breaking down.

We were already running these pools. The problem was the experience: crossed-off names, repeated questions, duplicate picks, a messy board, and one person stuck doing the work while everyone else socialized.

RotoPools was built to solve that exact problem for real groups of friends. One shared board. Picks from your phone. Season tracking that does not depend on somebody updating a sheet every night.

In-person first

The main event is the room. Remote drafters can still join, but the product is tuned for live draft nights with a shared screen.

Not fantasy sprawl

This is intentionally focused on social, high-signal pools rather than trying to recreate every full fantasy league feature under the sun.

Run your next draft the right way.

Put the board on the big screen, let your friends draft from their phones, and turn your pool into something that stays fun long after draft night ends.
