Great British Bake Off Pool
Back your baker. Call Star Baker.
A fantasy league for The Great British Bake Off (The Great British Baking Show in the US). Back one baker for the series and, every week, call Star Baker and who leaves the tent. Your baker scores for every week survived, Star Baker, winning the technical and a Hollywood Handshake. Prefer the classic draft — everyone takes a winner and a first-out pick? That runs too, for a pool you score yourself.

The complete guide
How a Great British Bake Off Pool works.
A The Great British Bake Off pool is the simplest way to watch a season with your family, your office or your group chat and have something riding on every episode.
The one decision: your baker
Back the baker you think wins. You cannot drop them while they are in, so the points reward conviction: +1 for the first episode they survive, +2 for the second, up to +5 every episode after that. If they win, you get +20 and a loyalty bonus of +2 for every episode you backed them, up to +20 more.
The calls you make every episode
| Call | What it asks |
|---|---|
| Star Baker | Who is Star Baker this week — +5 |
| Leaving the tent | Who goes home — +8 |
| Who wins Bake Off? (finale) | +8 |
How the points add up
| Event | Points |
|---|---|
| Your baker survives a week | +1, +2, +3, +4, then +5 |
| Star Baker | +5 |
| Wins the technical | +3 |
| A Hollywood Handshake | +2 |
| Reaches the final | +10 once |
| Wins Bake Off | +20 plus up to +20 loyalty |
| Sent home | −5 |
These are the defaults. A commissioner can change any value before the first picks lock.

The edge cases, decided in advance
- Nobody is sent home: the leaving-the-tent call is void, not wrong.
- A double elimination: a call matching either baker scores once.
- A baker withdraws: no −5; pick a replacement for the next week.
FAQ
Great British Bake Off Pool, answered.
How does a The Great British Bake Off pool work?+
Everyone backs one baker for the season — the same baker can be backed by any number of people — and makes fresh calls before every episode. Your baker earns points as the season goes; your calls earn points when they come true. The leaderboard adds both.
Who enters the results?+
We do. ChooseASquare publishes each episode’s results once, and every pool following the season scores itself within moments. You never type a result. Spotted a mistake? Tell us and we correct it — every pool re-scores, and nobody’s pick history changes.
What if my baker goes out?+
You pick a replacement for the next episode that has not locked. Points you already earned stay; the replacement’s loyalty starts again at +1. You cannot swap a baker who is still in — that is the whole game.
What about spoilers?+
Turn on the spoiler shield and the pool hides every result you have not revealed yet — standings, who is out, even your own baker’s fate — until you tap to reveal it. Reminders tell you when your calls lock and never what happened.
Can we play for money?+
Reality pools do not collect entry fees through ChooseASquare yet. Run it for bragging rights, or settle any side pot between yourselves — the leaderboard is the record.
What does it cost?+
A Reality Pass is per season, priced on how many people play: $9 for up to 10, $19 for 25, $29 for 50 and up from there. Reality is included on Pro Commissioner and Organization with no pass needed.
Can I join after the season has started?+
A pool takes new entries until its first picks lock. Start one before the next episode airs and it plays from there — nobody earns points for episodes the pool did not play.
Is ChooseASquare affiliated with the show?+
No. ChooseASquare is an independent pool platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to The Great British Bake Off, its producers or its network.
Run a Survivor, Traitors, Big Brother, DWTS, Amazing Race, Million Dollar Secret or Bake Off pool: everyone backs a champion and calls every episode, we enter the results, and every pool scores itself. Setup, scoring, replacements, the spo…
