Dashboard

The Dashboard is your central hub for managing pools — whether you're creating new ones, keeping track of current games, or joining others.

My Pools

In the My Pools section, you'll find:

  • Current Pools you’re actively participating in.

  • Pending Pools, where you're waiting for commissioner approval.

Each pool is displayed as a Pool Card, which includes:

  • Pool Name

  • Game Type

  • Number of Members

  • Recent Message Board Comments

If you’re a commissioner, a blue circle with a "C" will appear next to the Pool Name for quick identification.

To view more pool options — like leaving a pool or deleting one (if you're the commissioner) — click the three-dot menu at the bottom of the Pool Card.

Pending Pools

For pools where you're awaiting approval, you’ll see:

  • A yellow "PENDING" status on the right side

  • A grayed-out icon on the left, indicating limited access until accepted

Join a Pool

In the Join a Pool tab, you’ll find:

  • Pool Invitations you've received

  • Suggested Pools based on your activity or network

Featured Pools

Occasionally, RunYourPool will host official games. These are labeled “Featured” in the top-right corner of the Pool Card.


Connections

The Connections section helps you build and manage your social network within RunYourPool.

People

The People tab includes:

  • Members from your previous pools

  • Incoming and outgoing connection requests

  • Options to sort and search your list of contacts

Suggestions

In the Suggestions tab, you’ll find potential friends — like friends of friends. Click "CONNECT" to send a request instantly.

Invite Friends

Want to add someone new to your RunYourPool community? Use the "Invite Friends" button at the top-right. You can:

  • Send invites via email

  • Share through social media

  • Copy and share a direct referral link
