Make the pick.
Climb the ladder.
Not another fantasy league. Everyone starts with the same points. Pick spreads and totals, decide how many points to put behind each pick, and try to grow your balance more than everyone else.
No draft. No roster. No -110 or +120 pricing. Just sports picks, points, and a season-long leaderboard.
Upcoming Games
- The next posted slate will appear here.
A preview of games available on PointLadder competitions.
Think the stock-market game you played in school, but for sports.
Everyone starts with the same points. You decide how many and which games are worth putting them on. Win a pick and gain those points. Lose and they come off your balance. The goal is simple: finish with more than everyone else.

Three steps
How It Works
- 1
Start equal
Everyone begins the competition with the same point balance.
- 2
Pick your spots
Choose spreads and totals and decide how many points you want to put on each pick.
- 3
Grow your balance
Winning picks add points. Losing picks subtract them. Climb the standings over the season.
Why it’s different
Not fantasy. Not just “who picked the most winners.”
There are no rosters, drafts, waiver wires, or player lineups. Strategy comes from both what you pick and how many points you put behind it. Someone who goes 4–6 can have a better week than someone who goes 7–3 if they managed their points better.
Office pools
Built for the office pool.
Set the rules once. Share an invite. Everyone makes their Picks from their phone, while PointLadder handles deadlines, scoring, standings, and history.
Easy for commissioners
No spreadsheets, manual grading, or chasing down everyone's picks.
Fast for players
Open the league, make your Picks, and get back to work.
Flexible enough for your group
One sport or many. One week or a full season. Points or Survivor. Entry fees and prizes configured by the league.
Coworkers · group chats · alumni groups · friend groups · family competitions · longtime rivalries
Paid leagues, clearly explained
PointLadder-run competitions show the actual entry fee on the league card and join page. For private leagues, the commissioner collects entry fees (which is also disclosed before joining) and pays prizes; PointLadder keeps picks, deadlines, standings, and results organized.

The competition started in 2004.
