Legal & privacy

Pickani is an independent website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected to the National Football League, the NCAA, any athletic conference, any bowl game organization, any broadcaster or any team.

Team names, city names and bowl game names appear here as plain factual references so you can label your own pool sheet. Pickani does not use, reproduce or distribute any league, conference, bowl or team logo, mark, uniform or other protected imagery, and does not include any third party's trademark in its own name or branding. All trademarks referenced remain the property of their respective owners.

Pickani does not accept wagers, hold entry money, process payments, escrow funds, pay out winnings, set odds or offer any form of sportsbook. It produces printable sheets and keeps track of picks.

The squares tool lets an organizer type a square price and payout notes so that those details print on their own sheet. That text is stored only in the organizer's own browser. Whether a recreational pool is lawful depends on where you are, who is involved and how it is run — that is your responsibility, not ours.

There are no accounts on Pickani, so there is nothing to sign up for and no profile to maintain. The grids, pools, brackets and pick sheets you create are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. They are not uploaded, and we cannot read them.

Share links carry your document inside the URL fragment — the part after the #. Browsers never send a fragment to a server, so a shared sheet travels directly between you and whoever you send it to.

Clearing your browser's site data for Pickani deletes everything you have saved here. Exports and prints are generated on your device.

Pickani is free, and display advertising is how it stays that way. Ad slots are placed below completed tools and between informational sections. They are never placed inside a grid, inside a bracket, between a question and its answer, inside sticky controls, or anywhere they could be mistaken for part of a tool — and never on anything you print or export.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on those visits.

You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies at aboutads.info.

Nothing you type into a tool is shared with any advertiser, because nothing you type into a tool leaves your device.

Football data on this site comes through a provider layer. Where a reliable current-season source is not connected, pages say so plainly rather than displaying a guess. Clinching scenarios in particular are never generated from memory or estimated.

Bowl game names and host cities are listed without sponsor prefixes because sponsors change from year to year, and matchups stay blank until you fill them in.

Everything here is provided as is, without warranty. Check anything that matters against an official source.
