This handbook provides OfficeFootballPool (OFP) commissioners with clear instructions, best practices, and answers to common questions. It also serves as a reference for Splash Support when assisting OFP commissioners on the OFP Interface with their contests.


RunYourPool (Interface) Handbook Found Here - Again, this is for contests that are still running on RYP interface.

Splash Sports (Interface) Handbook Found here - Again, this is for contests that are running on Splash Sports interface.


1. Login Information

  • Log into your OFP account (email and password) here -https://app.splashsports.com/sign-in?brand=ofp

  • If you are having issues with logging into your account, you may need to unify your email address since the merge of RYP, Splash and OFP

    • Click Forgot Password and create a new password

    • Then you should be all set!


2. Splash Layout

The layout will be different than what you are use to seeing on OFP:

  • You will see different tabs:

    • Home: this is where you will see contests that need your attention, restart previous OFP contests, league lobbies and more

    • Lobby: Is where you will see public contests that are currently on Splash Sports

    • QuickPicks: Daily Fantasy - Choose More or Less

    • My Contests: Is where all your active/finalized contests will be under

      • Your OFP contests will be here

    • Commissioner: Is where all YOUR CONTESTS that you've created will be (Active/Finalized) and where you can manage each contest


3. Download the Splash Sports App

  • The Splash Sports App has replaced the OFP App

    • You can find the Splash Sports App in the ios App Store (iPhone) or Playstore (Android)

    • Login with your OFP credentials and you are all set!


4. How to Restart Your OFP Contest

  • Restarting your contest is simple - Go to the Commissioner tab > Final > Restart!

  • If you want to run your previous managed contest on OFP:

    • Go through the contest review settings and select "I'll collect entries and handle payouts on my own"

    • By doing that, your contest will be for entertainment-only purposes and will be on OFP Interface
