Joining the Pick 'Em Pool

Log on to your account at Maximum Fantasy Sports.


On the left side of your screen, under the website’s banner, you’ll see several options to "Create" or "Join" different leagues.

You'll want to "Join a Private Fantasy Football League/Pool". Clicking on that takes you to the Pool Selection screen.

To join the "Conscious Competent" Pick 'Em Pool enter the following information:

• Enter League ID: 787028416
• Enter Password: BixIsBig
• Click “Join League”

This will take you to the “Join League (Step Two)” page. Stay with it, here’s where it gets good.

There are two mandatory fields on this screen: “Team Name” (at the top) and “Division” (at the bottom).

• Your “Team Name” is whatever you want.
  YOU PICK YOUR OWN TEAM NAME. Again, initials are fine, but naming your team after your favorite kitten is appropriate. (I know, they’re all your favorites).
• The league is in four divisions: “Field”, “Princeton”, and "International", and "Contractor". Look out the window. Do you have a window? Do you see New Jersey? If “yes” to either question, you just might be in the “Princeton” division. Do you call this game "Gridiron" or "footie"? Welcome to the "International" division! Is the name of your company your name, followed by "and Associates", even though your "associates" are a mildewed throw pillow and a backlog of "The Drew Carey Show" on your DVR? Then you're a "contractor"!

You can also add:

• “Receive Set Pick Notifications”
  This is an automatic reminder that you need to set your pick. You can select how far before the first game of the week you’d like to get this, or if you don’t want to be notified at all.
• “Email picks after creating”
  Receive a confirmation email after you make your pick.
• “Default picks”
  The system will “suggest” picks for you. You can decide how it suggests here.

Click “Create Team”.

(Other than “Team Name”, you can change your settings at any time. Those that the system won’t allow you to change, the Commissioner can help.)

That’s it! You’re in.
