Global Freeroll · open worldwide · picked straight up
FREE TO ENTER
The top 10 on the leaderboard get paid.
Freeroll-specific rules: this pool pays ten places. Ties share the combined prizes of the places they occupy, split equally — so a tie never costs you your spot.
The last freeroll of the preseason
This is the final preseason pool — the second of the two $3,000 runs. If you were in week 2, your free ticket into this one is already good: nothing to claim and nothing to buy. Regular-season pools follow.
How a winner is decided
Pick a winner for every one of the 12 games on the card, straight up. No spreads, no points.
Optionally block up to 2 games. A blocked game covers both teams, so it always counts correct — but every block doubles the combinations on your ticket. Two blocks means at least 10 straight picks on every ticket.
When the last game goes final, every ticket is scored. The top 10 tickets get paid down the ladder below.

Sums to exactly $3,000 — 10th place is still $150 for something that cost nothing. Two rules, published up front: ties share the combined prizes of every place they occupy, split evenly (expect ties — preseason coin-flips make them near-certain). And with fewer than 10 entrants, the full $3,000 is still paid, compressed across the places that exist. We never keep a dollar.
Getting paid
Prizes are distributed from our verifiable Solana pool-funded address.
Every winner is paid out Monday, after the pool completes.
Payment is sent in USDC to the Solana wallet address you provide.
The entry form asks for an X handle, Telegram, or email — at least one. That's how we reach you if you win.
Prizes require following @pylonpools on X or Instagram for the duration of the contest — from your entry through results. Following after the final leaderboard is posted doesn't qualify. We'll ask for the handle you follow from before a prize is sent.
Claim window: prizes must be claimed within 30 days of results being posted. If we can't reach you or no valid wallet is provided within 30 days, the prize rolls into a future Pylon pool.

Maximum four (4) entries per person. Operating multiple accounts or wallets to gain additional entries is prohibited and those entries are disqualified.
Prizes must be claimed within 30 days of results being posted — unclaimed prizes roll into a future pool.
Winners must be following @pylonpools on X or Instagram for the duration of the contest. Follows created after the leaderboard is posted don't qualify.
Freeroll-specific structure: this pool pays 10 places. Weekly pick'em pools pay differently — check each pool's rules.
No tiebreaker question — ties share the combined prizes of the places they occupy, split evenly.
A game that's cancelled or voided counts as correct for everyone.
Four tickets each, and with two blocks a ticket covers four combinations — so up to 16 combinations per entrant across all your tickets.
