The Square Assignment tool allows commissioners to assign squares to participants within their NCAAB Tournament Squares contest. You can assign squares to registered members or quickly add names as guest entries.
Assignment Options
When assigning a square, you’ll see two options:
Option 1: Assign to a Member (Recommended)
Select a user from your member list
Keeps your contest organized and trackable
Allows you to maintain:
Member contact information
Number of squares per member
Notes or tracking details
Best for:
Commissioners managing a structured group who want visibility into participation and communication.
Option 2: Assign to a Guest
Enter a name manually for the square
No account or member profile is required
Faster for bulk or informal assignments
Best for:
Quick entry when you don’t need to track member details or manage a roster.
Which Option Should I Choose?
Use Assign to a Member if you want full visibility and organization
Use Assign to a Guest if you just need to quickly fill squares with names
Can Commissioners Assign Squares to Themselves?
Yes. As a commissioner, you can assign squares to yourself by selecting your name under Assign to a Member.
Important Notes
Guest squares (marked with *) are not tied to an account
Member-assigned squares provide better tracking and management
You can mix both methods within the same contest
Key Reminder
For the best experience, we recommend using Assign to a Member whenever possible—especially for larger or more organized contests.
