If there's a page to bookmark on our site, the My Pools page IS THE ONE!
From this page, you can:

1. Change Pool Handles
Pool handles are the names you use to play in pools. While the same handle can be joined to multiple pools, unique handles need to be joined when playing multiple entries in the same pool.
To change handles, select the corresponding handle from the "Select Pool Handle" dropdown. The My Pools page will reload with the pools the selected handle is joined in.
Tip:
You can manage your pool handles from the My Handles page. From there, you can:
- Set your default pool handle (i.e. the handle that will be selected every time you log in)
- Create new pool handles
- Hide pool handles
- Delete pool handles
- Transfer handles to other registered OPJ users
2. Start / Join a Pool
To start your own pool:
- Click the "Start Pool" button
- You will be taken to our Pool Configuration Wizard, which will step you through the pool creation process.
To join a pool:
- Click the "Join Pool" button
- You will be taken to our "Join Pool" page
- From there, you can:
- Join any active Public pool
- Search or Join any active Private pool (note you will need the Pool password to join)
3. View Past Pools
All pools played on OPJ are kept for historical purposes so you can relive days of glory (or obscurity 😄) from previously played pools.
You can toggle between active and past (or archived) pools by clicking the corresponding "Active Pools" and "Archived Pools" tabs.
4. Access Joined Pool
Every pool the selected handle is joined in will be displayed in it's own Pool Card, which contains 3 parts:
