FAQ
Can I join both pools?
Yes. Join Otter Club, Shark Club, or both. Playing both doubles your chances at weekly and season-long prizes.
How are payouts split?
Each pool's entry fees are split 20% for weekly winners and 80% for season-long standings. Payout amounts grow as more members join, see the calculator above.
Do I need a Sleeper account?
Yes. Sleeper hosts both pools, manages picks, and tracks standings. If you don't have an account, sign up free at sleeper.com.
How does scoring work?
Otter Club (straight-up): pick the outright winner of each game for one point per correct pick. Shark Club (against the spread): a point per pick that covers the spread, based on Sleeper's lines.
What happens with ties?
Weekly ties use Sleeper's tiebreaker: closest guess to the total points scored in the Monday night game, over or under. Still tied after that, overall point total decides it.
When do I get paid?
Weekly winners are paid after that week's games conclude. Season-long payouts go out after the final regular season game.
