Here’s a concise summary for you:
✅ Rules
Members claim squares on a grid.
Grid numbers are hidden until you reveal them or the tournament begins.
Unlike football squares, members keep their squares for EVERY game, starting with the round you select.
Winners are determined based on the last digit of both teams’ scores for each game.
Results are tracked automatically for each game, with a count of total wins.
✅ Women’s Squares Pools
Not available (only women’s bracket pools are supported).
✅ How members pick squares
Members log in and click to claim their square(s).
You can manually assign squares to “guests” without requiring them to create an account.
✅ Number assignment on the X & Y axis
Can be custom-assigned or randomly assigned by the commissioner.
Change under: Commissioner Console > Grid Settings > Axis numbers.
✅ Limits & settings
Limit maximum squares per member in Grid Settings.
Add multiple grids under Grid Management.
Change grid size (25/50/100 squares) if the grid is empty.
Set the tournament round the grid begins in under Grid Settings.
Lock and reveal axis numbers under Grid Management > Toggle ON show axis numbers and lock grid.
✅ Cost
$19.95 per grid for up to 100 members.
✅ Fundraising/Payments
RYP does not handle any money collection or payouts. Commissioners must collect funds separately, for example with PayPal.
You can use the “Track Fundraising Donations” toggle to mark payments for each square in the system.
✅ Printing & sharing
You can print the grid after it is filled.
You can also share a public link.
✅ Unfilled squares
If squares are left empty, there are no automatic settings for how to handle them — you’ll need to communicate your rule (e.g., “square to the right wins” or “no winner”) to members in advance.
✅ Changing numbers after the tournament begins
You cannot change numbers on the grid after it’s locked. Unlike football, basketball scores generally distribute evenly, so number fairness is less of a concern.
✅ Other highlights
Members can see the grid and picks live.
Guest entries are fully supported if you want to manage them manually.
