How a board works
One host runs the board. Everyone gets squares. The last digit of each team's score picks the winner at the end of every quarter.

During the game
The score comes in live, so nobody has to keep track by hand.
Every quarter has a winner
The last digits of the score pick the square. When the quarter ends, that player gets the moment and the payout.
Follow the square in the lead
The live score lights the row and column. You can see who is winning, and who a single score would hand it to.

Questions
What groups ask before their first board.
Does SquareOff move any money?
No. It shows the pot, who has paid and what each quarter pays. You collect and pay out however your group likes.
Do my friends need an account?
No account required. They join with the board's code and claim their squares, or the host places squares for them.
When are the numbers drawn?
When the board locks, 0 to 9 are shuffled across each team's axis. Nobody knows their numbers until then.
What if a quarter lands on an empty square?
Its money moves to the quarters still to come.
How can the pot be split?
Equal at 25% each, Bigger Final at 20/20/20/40, or Half and Final at 0/50/0/50.
