Participants claim one or more squares on a grid before a game starts. Each square may have a cost to purchase to create a prize pool for the winners.
Once all the squares are claimed the contest is locked and random numbers are assigned to each team’s row. These numbers will represent the final digits of each team's score.
Check the score at the end of each quarter. Find the last digit of each team's score. Find the square on the grid where the corresponding row and column meet. The participant whose name appears in the square where the row and column intersect wins the prize for that quarter.
The commissioner of the contest will specify in the rules how to pay. This usually occurs via a service like PayPal or Venmo. Tdsquares.com doesn’t collect any money for a contest.
The commissioner of the contest is responsible for collecting the money and paying out all money.
For all you commissioner's out there here is some info to help you run your contests
You'll want to custimize the additional settings:
As commissioner, you're in charge of generating the numbers. You can do this in the contest settings on the numbers tab.
You want to do this when all the squares are reserved or before the game starts. Make sure that you don't generate numbers while there are still open squares. People should be choosing random squares and only get the numbers assigned once the grid is completely filled.
Normally players don't need to enter an access code to claim a square because it's contained in the invite link. In the event someone isn't using the invite link they'll be asked for an access code. You can let them know to us the invite link or you can copy the access code from the invite link and provide.
