Format

--100 squares in total.

--$40 per square.

--The pool begins in the round of 64 on March 19, 2026.

--Each entry will have action on every single game for the duration of the tournament.  There are 63 games in the tournament; therefore, you can win multiple games in each round.

--Each square will be randomly assigned two numbers, which will be drawn once every square has been purchased.  The numbers will be a random order 0 – 9 down the side and across the top.

Unlike similar football square pools, there are truly no “bad” numbers.  Every number, 0 – 9 is just as likely to hit as the next.

--The numbers will correlate to a Winning Team and Losing Team.

--Winning numbers will run along the top.  Losing numbers down the side.  For example, let us say your square has the numbers Winning Team 7 and Losing Team 4.  It will not matter the team that wins the game, but what that final score is.  If it ends with a final score of 57 – 54, 67 – 64, 77 – 64, etc. you are a winner.
