A football tradition that has kept picking for more than four decades.
Pickum Central has been bringing friends together through football since 1981. What started as a simple football pick'em pool has grown and changed over the years, but the idea has always remained the same: pick the winners, compete with friends, and see who comes out on top.
1981:
Pickum Central began with players calling in their weekly picks by telephone.
The Fax Era:
As technology changed, picks moved from phone calls to fax submissions.
The Email Era:
Email brought another improvement, allowing picks and announcements to be shared faster.
2012:
Pickum Central launched its first website, allowing players to submit picks online.
Today:
A redesigned Pickum Central brings modern technology to a tradition lasting more than 40 years.
Each week, players pick winners of selected football games and compete for weekly and season-long bragging rights.
But Pickum Central has never really been about the technology. It is about the competition, the friendships, and a tradition that continues year after year.
From telephone calls to faxes, from email to the web — Pickum Central keeps picking.
