Mix core questions with optional extras to build the perfect pool for your crowd.

Tips for cleaner submissions

Use simple, clearly defined categories so guests can answer quickly. This usually leads to more completed submissions and better quality guesses. Enable only the categories that suit your crowd — a smaller set often gets higher completion rates.

For fairness, keep tie-breakers objective and easy to compare. Date, weight, and length produce the cleanest winner outcomes. Day of week and time of day add fun variety without complicating scoring.

🏆 Live standings keep the game alive

Baby Bids automatically shows a live standings page for every pool. Guests can visit it before results are announced to see all entries, compare guesses, and check the aggregate predictions. It keeps people checking back right up until delivery day.
