a perfect week

perfect with The Five-Point Plunge

The Global Pool

Everyone who signs up plays here, free. One leaderboard for the whole site — bragging rights only; the site never takes money or awards prizes.

Leagues

A private table for your group. Start one, text the invite link, and your friends are in. The same weekly card counts in the Global Pool and in every league you're in. Start a league.

Your privacy

Your leaderboard name is the only thing other players see — your email stays private and is only used for signing in, pick receipts and password resets. The full rulebook is on the Rules page.

No money, no prizes

The Plunge is free to play. There are no entry fees, no prizes and no wagering — it's a game of bragging rights. We show point spreads because that's how picks are scored, the way a fantasy league uses statistics. We are not a sportsbook and never handle money. Players must be 13 or older.
