?What is Sports Squares?
Sports Squares is a popular game of chance played during sporting events. It's a fun way to add excitement to any game - Super Bowl, March Madness, playoffs, or any matchup you want to make more interesting!
#The Grid
The game uses a 10x10 grid with 100 squares total. One team is assigned to the columns (0-9) and the other to the rows (0-9).
Example: If you have a square in row 7 and column 3, you win when the score ends with Team A having 7 and Team B having 3 (like 17-13, 27-23, or 67-73).
!How to Play
- 1Join a Pool
Find a pool to join or create your own. Each pool is for a specific game.
- 2Claim Squares
Select any available squares on the grid. The more squares you have, the better your chances of winning!
- 3Numbers Are Assigned
Once all squares are claimed (or at game time), random numbers 0-9 are assigned to each row and column. You won't know your numbers until then!
- 4Watch the Game
At each scoring checkpoint (quarters, halves, periods, or final), check the score. The last digit of each team's score determines the winning square.
- 5Collect Winnings
Winners are paid out at each checkpoint. Pool organizers set how the prize pool is divided - common splits are 10/20/30/40% or 25% each.
