As I explained, the viewing user CAN FILTER the listing to only OPEN pools (which will "hide" all the pools that are "Final").
Click on FILTERS (which is a standard thing in XenForo everywhere) and use the Pool status filter (set it to OPEN). Click on filter and the listing will only display OPEN pools.

Here you can see that the listing is Filtered by Pool Status OPEN and only OPEN pools are displayed. The viewing user can BOOK mark a filtered page so when they use the bookmark, the see it pre loaded.

btw, most players BOOKMARK each POOL they are in so that they can just go directly to the pools they are participating in.
