Football Squares • Any NFL game through the Super Bowl
📜 FOOTBALL SQUARES RULES
How Football Squares works
• The commissioner creates a board and chooses any NFL game on the schedule, including regular season, playoffs, conference championships and the Super Bowl.
• Each board has 100 squares in a 10×10 grid. Players claim available squares before the number draw.
• The row and column numbers stay hidden while squares are being selected. When the commissioner closes the board, Links randomly assigns 0–9 to each team and locks the numbers.
• Winners are based on the last digit of each team's score at the end of the 1st Quarter, Halftime, 3rd Quarter and Final.
• Example: if the away team has 17 and the home team has 24, the winning square is Away 7 / Home 4.
• Links follows the selected NFL game and highlights the winning square as quarter scores become available.
• Square price and quarter payouts are set by the commissioner. Links tracks the board; player money stays between the commissioner and players.
• Once numbers are drawn, square ownership and number positions are locked for that board.
⚙️ CREATE A SQUARES BOARD
Choose any NFL game all the way through the Super Bowl. Playoff matchups appear automatically as the NFL schedule is updated.

🏀 BRACKET DEADLINE

📜 Standard Links March Madness Rules
• Fill out the entire 64-team main bracket before the deadline.
• Opening-round / First Four winners occupy their assigned main-bracket slot; the Links bracket starts with the main Round of 64.
• Correct picks are worth 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 points by round.
• The bracket locks for everyone at the commissioner-set deadline.
• The tiebreaker is your predicted combined score of the National Championship game.
• Highest total points wins. If tied, closest championship-score prediction wins.
• Links tracks the leaderboard as the commissioner records official winners.

33
THE 33 GAME
Up to 32 players can play because the NFL has 32 teams. Each player gets one NFL team for the whole 18-week regular season. The season pot is divided into 18 weekly shares. If a team finishes a week with exactly 33 points, win or lose, that player wins the available money. If nobody hits 33, that week's money rolls over and is added to the next week.
ONE-TIME ENTRY$50
SEASON POT$0.00
BASE WEEKLY SHARE$0.00
AVAILABLE THIS WEEK$0.00
💰 How the Game 33 Pot Works
• Maximum 32 players — one player per NFL team. • The total season pot is divided by 18 to create the base payout for each regular-season week. • If nobody's team scores exactly 33 points in a week, that week's money rolls over into the next week. • Rollovers keep building until a player hits 33. After a winning week, the following week goes back to the normal base weekly share. • If multiple eligible players hit 33 in the same week, they split the available payout.
💵 33 Participation Status
Payment arrangements are handled independently by your pool commissioner.
