How groups work

Create a group, invite your people, and compete every week.

A Simple Pik group gives your crew one private place to compete around weekly sports picks. The group creator sets up the group, chooses the league and game level, shares the invite code, and members join to make picks before games lock. After that, Simple Pik tracks results, updates points, and shows who is leading the group.

01

Create the group

Start a private group, name it, choose the league, and set the weekly game level.

02

Invite members

Share the group code or invite link so your friends, family, coworkers, or sports crew can join.

03

Make weekly picks

Members pick the winners before the lock deadline and compete for weekly ranks and bragging rights.

Group setup

Every group can be built around the way your crew wants to play.

Groups are flexible enough for casual players and competitive sports fans. The creator controls the basic setup so the group feels right for the people playing.

👥

Private group space

Each group has its own members, picks, ranks, and weekly results. Your group competition stays focused on the people you invited.

🏀

Choose the league

Groups can be built around the league your crew wants to follow. This keeps the weekly picks connected to the sports everyone cares about.

🎚

Set the game level

The creator can choose how many games the group plays each week. A smaller card keeps it simple, while a larger card makes the week more competitive.

🔐

Invite code access

Members can join using a group code or invite link. This makes it easy to grow the group without making it public to everyone.

📅

Weekly reset

Each week brings a new set of games and a new chance to win the group. A bad week does not ruin the whole experience.

💬

Built for trash talk

Groups are designed for the fun part of sports: arguing picks, celebrating wins, calling out bad choices, and earning bragging rights.

Weekly picks

Every member gets the same games and the same deadline.

Group play stays fair because everyone in the group picks from the same weekly game card. Members make their picks before the lock deadline, then watch the games decide the ranks.

Upcoming games

Members see the available games for the upcoming week and choose who they think will win.

One pick per game

Each matchup requires one winner pick. The goal is to build the strongest card in the group.

Picks lock

Once the deadline hits, picks become final. This keeps the group fair for everyone.

Live results

After games start, members can follow results and see how their picks are performing.

Final scoring

Completed games count toward each member's score and update the group ranks.

Points

Points keep every week competitive.

Points show who picked the best and who needs a comeback. They make the group more than just a list of games, because every correct pick changes the ranks and gives members something to chase.

Correct pick points

Members earn points when they correctly pick the winner of a game. More correct picks means a better weekly score.

📊

Weekly score

Each week has its own score so members can compete fresh every week, even if they had a bad week before.

🔥

Streaks and momentum

Winning several picks in a row can create momentum and make the group feel alive as games finish.

🏁

Final weekly total

When all games are complete, the weekly total decides who had the strongest card in the group.

Ranks

See who is winning, who is falling, and who gets bragging rights.

Ranks are what make group play fun. Members can see where they stand against everyone else in the group, who is leading the week, and who needs the next game to go their way.

1

Weekly ranks

Shows who is leading the current group week based on correct picks and points.

Movement

Ranks can shift as games finish, giving members a reason to keep checking results.

🏆

Bragging rights

The weekly winner gets the best reward in a group: the right to talk all week.

Invites

Grow the group with invite codes and links.

Simple Pik makes it easy to bring people into a group. The creator can share the group code or invite link, and members can join the challenge without needing the creator to manually build a roster.

🔗

Share the group code

The group code gives invited players a simple way to find and join the correct group.

📩

Send invites

Creators can share the invite directly with people they want in the group, making it easier to build a real sports crew.

👤

New member joins

Once someone joins, they can see the group, make picks, follow ranks, and compete with the rest of the members.

📣

More members, more energy

A group gets better when more people play. More members means more picks, more rank movement, and more trash talk.

Ways to play

Groups can stay casual or get competitive.

Not every group has to play the same way. Some groups are just for fun and bragging rights. Others want stronger competition, weekly pressure, and a more serious pick card.

Friends and family

Simple weekly picks for the people you already watch games with.

Coworkers and offices

A weekly office challenge that gives people something fun to follow together.

Fantasy league side game

Keep your fantasy crew active with a pick challenge that is separate from fantasy rosters.

Sports chats

Turn group chat debates into actual weekly picks and ranks.

Competitive crews

Use larger game cards and weekly ranks to make the competition tougher.

Deadlines

Submit picks before the group locks.

Every group week has a lock deadline. Members should make their picks before the posted time. After the lock, picks are final and the group moves into result tracking.

Before lock

Members can review games, make picks, and edit their card before the deadline.

At lock

The weekly card closes and submitted picks become final.

After lock

Members watch live and final results update points and ranks.

Why groups matter

Sports are better when your people are involved.

Simple Pik groups turn casual sports talk into a weekly competition. Instead of just saying who you think will win, you lock in the pick and let the results speak. That gives every game more meaning and every week a reason to come back.

💬

More conversation

Picks give your group something to talk about before, during, and after the games.

📈

More competition

Ranks show who really knows the games and who just talks like they do.

More reasons to return

Every week resets the challenge and gives everyone another shot at the top.
