Free Moving Day Pools
Most tournaments, Moving Day (or a sponsor) runs an open pool anyone with an account can enter. No entry fee, a real prize, the Moving Day format. They live on the public pools page.
Joining and picking
- Create a free account (or sign in) and tap Sign up free & play on the pool - you're a member immediately, no invite code.
- Build one team of five golfers before the entry deadline shown on the pool. Any golfers - the Moving Day format handicaps them by ranking band, so there's no tier to obey.
- One team per person. Picks lock at the deadline; the leaderboard updates live through all four rounds.
Winners and prizes
The team ranked first when the tournament completes wins. Equal totals are broken by count-back, then earliest entry, so there's always exactly one winner. Prizes are fulfilled by hand: we contact the winner at their account email within 14 days, and a comped Pro plan is applied to their account directly. Every completed free pool gets a public results page - winning team name, the winning lineup, and the band breakdown - that anyone can share. Full standings stay behind sign-in.
The fine print (eligibility, prize substitution, tiebreakers) is on the official rules page.
Keeping an open pool friendly
Team names and display names go through a moderation filter and every leaderboard row has a report button. Pool chat is a private-pool feature - open pools don't have one, so there's no board for strangers to spoil. An open pool should feel like a private one with more people in it.
Sponsoring a pool
A sponsor puts up the prize and gets their name on the pool, the listing, the announcement email and the results page. Sponsors run their pools from a panel of their own - pick a single tournament, a monthly run, the majors or a whole season - and Moving Day handles scoring, moderation and winner verification.
