The Commish does the weekly work

It's an AI helper. It builds each week's sheet, whether that's a full slate of games, a golf tournament or a fight card. Then it looks up the results and writes a short Monday memo. You can check its work, or do it all by hand. More about the Commish

No money, on purpose

No entry fees, no prizes, no odds and no point spreads. The only money involved is the one-time price the organizer pays for the software. Read the no-betting promise

How it works

  1. You start a league.Pick a plan and pay once.
  2. You send out one link.People type a name and pick a jersey number. No app and no account.
  3. Everybody picks.Tap the team or the player you think will win. Picks lock at kickoff.
  4. The site keeps score.Standings update when the games end. On Monday there's a short memo about the week.
  • No accounts for players
  • Picks stay hidden until kickoff
  • Classic or confidence scoring
  • Star Pick and Lone Wolf bonus
  • A Big Board for the break room TV
  • Posts to Slack, Teams, Discord or Google Chat

What it costs

The organizer pays one time. There's no subscription, nothing renews by itself, and players never pay.

Huddle

For a team, a shift or a group of friends

Up to 40 players in 1 league. The Commish builds the sheet and grades the games when you ask.

$40one time

Varsity

For a whole office

Up to 100 players in each of 3 leagues. The Commish can build the sheet and grade the games on its own.

$80one time

Franchise

For a company with several offices

Up to 250 players in each of 10 leagues. The Commish can build the sheet and grade the games on its own.

$150one time

Every plan comes with the Commish for the first year. After that your league and its history stay, free, and keeping the Commish is $20, $40 or $75 for another year. Or you can run the league by hand. If your league outgrows its plan, you pay only the difference to move up. If it's not for you, tell me within 30 days, before your first week is graded, and I'll refund all of it. Everything in each plan

Questions

Is this gambling?

No. Nobody pays to play and nobody can win anything of value, so nothing is being wagered. It's a free game where you pick winners and see who's ahead. The only payment is the organizer buying the software, and that price is the same no matter who wins.

Do players need an account or an app?

No. The league link opens in any browser. A player types a name, picks a jersey number, and they're in. Their phone remembers them after that.

Which sports can we pick?

Anything with a winner. The Commish can look up schedules for the NFL, college football, the NBA, college basketball, the NHL and Major League Baseball, soccer in England, Spain, Italy and Germany (the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga), and the week's golf tournament, tennis tournament, car race or fight card. A golf week is a question on who wins the tournament, plus head-to-heads between players. Anything else you can type or paste in: another league, an awards night, the office chili cook-off.

What happens after the first year?

Your league keeps going. The players, the picks, the standings and the history all stay, and that costs nothing. The part with a time limit is the Commish, the AI helper. It comes with every plan for the first year. After that you can pay to keep it for another year ($20, $40 or $75, depending on your plan), or run the league by hand for free. By hand means you paste the schedule and tap the winners yourself. You're never charged unless you press the button.

What if the AI gets a score wrong?

You can fix it. Every score the Commish enters shows the pages it read, and the Captain can change any result with one tap. The Captain's log shows who changed what and when. If you'd rather check everything yourself, leave autopilot off.

Who is behind this?

I am. I run Lind-Sac AI Solutions LLC, a one-person software shop in Omaha, Nebraska. I built Breakroom Pick'em so an office can run a pool with no money in it.
