How It Works

Everything you need to run NFL squares with your crew

Claiming a Box

Every board is a 10×10 grid — 100 open boxes up for grabs. While a board is open, tap any empty box to claim it. Grab as many as you like, up to the pool's per-player limit.

Each box costs the same flat price, set by whoever runs the pool. Your initials sit in every box you own so the whole crew can see who's in. Claim early — once the board locks at kickoff, the grid is frozen and no new boxes can be taken.

Digit Assignment

Here's the twist that keeps it fair: you claim a box before anyone knows what it's worth. The numbers 0–9 aren't on the grid yet — both axes show ? placeholders while the board is open.

When the board locks at kickoff, the digits 0–9 are randomly drawn onto each axis — one row of digits for the home team, one column for the away team. Your box now maps to a home digit and an away digit. It's pure luck: nobody picks their numbers, so every box has an equal shot before the draw.

Quarter Scoring

At the end of every quarter — Q1, Q2, Q3, and Final — we take the last digit of each team's score to find the winning box.

Look up the home team's last digit along the home axis and the away team's last digit along the away axis. The box where they cross wins that quarter.

Home 17, Away 24 at the half

Home last digit: 7

Away last digit: 4

Winner: the box at home 7 × away 4

Four quarters means four separate winners — one box can absolutely win more than once.

Payouts

Every box that gets claimed adds to the pot. That pot is split across the four quarters, so there's money on the line at every whistle — not just the final score.

When a quarter is scored, its share of the pot goes to whoever owns the winning box. The board tracks each quarter's winner and payout, and totals up your winnings once the game is final. Bragging rights are, of course, priceless.
