Q: What is a MLB 13-Run pool?
A: Here are the rules for our 13-Run pools:
A maximum of 30 members can join a pool.
Each member is assigned a pro team
Each time your team plays, the number of runs they scored will be tracked
The goal is to be the first member to have their team score every number, from 0 to 13 runs.
The site updates the pool leaderboard in real-time as games end. No more recompiling standings manually and figuring out how to distribute them.
Q: What does the leaderboard look like?
A: The following is a sample leaderboard grid for a small 13-Run Baseball pool. Green cells indicate a member's team has closed that number of runs. The numbers in each cell indicate how many times the team scored the indicated number of runs.
When a member closes all 14 numbers, the leaderboard will indicate the date on which he or she finished and the leaderboard will be sorted accordingly. That way, you can continue the pool until a certain number of people have finished.
Also, your pool can be reset anytime after the first member completes their grid, so you can restart your pool again in the same season. When resetting your pool, administrators can keep the existing pro team assignments or change them as they like. (Note: Pool resets require a re-payment of the pool fee.)
Q: Is it difficult to assign team to members?
A: Nope, you can do it two ways:
Automatically–This option will randomly assign a pro team to each active pool member.
Manually–Use this option if you determine team assignments in some other way, such as an offline draft.
Pool commissioners can wait until after members have joined to make that determination. You will go to your commissioner console > assign MLB teams.
Q: Why can I not add more than 30 members?
A: The reason why; there are only 30 teams in baseball, so you can only have as many teams there are members.
Q: I want my pool to start today how do I clear the runs that have been filled in already?
A: You can go to your commissioner console > assign members > if you want your members to keep the same teams > select save at the bottom of the screen and you will be all set.
Q: I'm trying to add a couple people to my pool, but I'm receiving an error message. can you add the following to this pool?
A: If a member has been deleted from the pool originally, you will need to reach out to support@runyourpool.com to re-instate those members. Once those members are active back in your pool, they will need to login to their RYP account to confirm their participation within your pool.
Q: I was looking to set up 2 thirteen run pools, but both of the pools that I had previously are requiring immediate payment before progressing?
A: If you created both OR restarted both of those pools more than 5 days ago, payment is required. If you created those pools 3 days ago, you would not yet be required to pay.
Q: I am restarting my 13 run MLB pool, it’s called MLB Pool 2024, some of the people that want to play don’t want to make an account. How can I add them as a guest and just give them the public link?
A: Yes, you can do this by going to your (pool commissioner) picks > create an entry > select the 3 dots (options) and rename the entry to the guest members names.
From there, you can go to the Leaderboard > send those members a public link:
Q: I want to assign teams but only have 24 players. Can I take out teams that are horrible Oakland and CHW and than have the site randomly give out teams.
A: You can play with only 24 members, what you will want to do is go to your commissioner console > MLB team assignments > assign random teams > if those 2 members receive bad teams, you can manually click the down arrow and provide those members with better teams, if you do not want to use specific teams.
Q: I paid for the MLB 13 run pool. It now says I have to pay 14.95 to restart it.
A: Yes, if you want to restart your pool once your 13-Runs was accomplished, you will need to pay for the pool again.
Q: If I do not pay for the pool, what happens?
A: If you do not make the payment deadline, your pool will be locked to you and your members. You and your members will not have access to reports (anything) until payment is made.
Q: How can I change my entry name that appears in reports?
A: Entry names can be changed on your entries page within the pool. Click on the appropriate pool membership on your Pool Memberships page. Once in the pool, navigate to the 'Your Picks' tab and click the 'rename' link next to the entry you would like to change.
Q: When does my pool start tallying runs (missing scores)?
A: You can confirm the date your pool is set to start tallying runs by logging into your pool and going to Pool Info -> Pool Settings.
If you are the pool commissioner, and have confirmed your date is set appropriately, but scores are still not appearing, resubmit your team assignments by going to Commissioner Console -> MLB Team Assignments and clicking the 'Save Assignments' button.
Q: When are the standings (and other reports) updated?
A: Most updates will occur within minutes of the conclusion of each game, however due to the nature of the internet, we make no guarantee about the exact time an update will take place.
