SPORTS PICKERHow it works
Set up the board
Pick the game (the Super Bowl or any other). Give each player a set number of squares, or sell them by the square, say $5 each, and let people buy as many as they want.
Players claim squares
Everyone taps the squares they want. You can claim squares for players who are not online.
Draw and play
Numbers 0 to 9 are drawn at random when you click Draw, or automatically at kickoff. Winners are marked by quarter.
The rules
How a square wins
Take the last digit of each team's score at the end of a quarter. The square where those two digits meet wins.
Quarters
There is a winner after the first quarter, halftime, the third quarter and the final score.
Fair draw
Numbers are drawn at random by the app when you click Draw or at kickoff. If you choose, open squares can still be sold after the draw, usually at a higher price since buyers can see the numbers.
Counter and pot
A counter shows how many of the 100 squares are sold and left, and the pot so far against your target.
Runner-up prizes
Add a 2nd place for the reverse score (the digits swapped) and a 3rd place shared by the squares touching the winner. For a cash pot, set the split by quarter and place and every winner shows their share.

Questions
Can I use squares for a game other than the Super Bowl?
Yes. Squares work with any NFL or college football game, and other sports too.
How do I collect money for squares?
Set a price per square and add Venmo, Cash App or PayPal buttons. Each player's buttons fill in what they owe: 24 squares at $5 shows $120. Sports Picker never holds the money.
What if not every square is claimed?
Unclaimed squares stay empty. If one wins, decide your own rule in advance, such as rolling it to the next quarter.
