How To Play

Everything players need to know before the first pitch.

This guide explains the season format, the weekly board, how a final score picks a winner, and how rollover works when an open square hits.

What kind of game is this?

This is a season-long MLB squares game. One season follows one team for the full regular season. Players join that season, request entries, and keep those entries active while the board reshuffles every Monday morning.

Weekly board

How the board works each week

The board always uses fixed digits from 0 to 9. Your team's score runs across the columns. The opponent's score runs down the rows. Player positions reshuffle weekly, but the same weekly layout is used for every game until the next Monday shuffle.

Winning square

How a player wins a game

Use the final digit of each score. If your team finishes with 6 runs and the opponent finishes with 4, the winning square is column 6 and row 4. Whichever player owns that square wins the full pot for that game.

Rollover

What happens if the winning square is open

Open squares are marked with the pot icon. If the winning square is open, nobody wins that game and the full pot rolls into the next scheduled game. That rollover can keep building until a claimed square wins.

Quick rules

Players can hold more than one entry, and approved entries stay in for the season.
New entries can join during the season if open squares remain available.
Games lock at scheduled first pitch, and the app uses MLB game data to track results.
Winners are based on the final score only, not inning-by-inning scoring.
