The Life of a Pot - A Hosts' Checklist
These are the main steps in hosting a pot on FootballPot.com.Each item is linked to specific help for that step ...
1. Create a pot |
Get started by clicking "Host a pot" and choosing your pot's name, teams, rules and terms. (Save your rules for really fast set up the next time around!) |
| 2. Open a pot | This step confirms your choices and opens your pot for play. It's easy! Just click the "Open" button. |
| 3. Create players list |
If you don't yet have a players list, create a list in this step. If you already have a players list, skip this step. (Use bulk entry - it's really fast!) |
| 4. Invite players |
Send an invitation to your players. This informs them about the pot and provides them with the pot code they need to display it. |
| 5. Close a pot | This prevents any more changes to the pot by players, pending completion of settlement on the squares. |
| 6. Lock a pot | When settlement is complete, it's time to draw numbers and tell players that they can come see what numbers they have drawn. |
| 7. Post results | Be sure and post results of your event so your winners are notified and recognized on the pot page. |
