Grid Begins In
You can choose when your grid will begin:
First Round (63 games)
Second Round (31 games)
Sweet 16 (15 games)
Elite 8 (7 games)
Final Four (3 games)
Championship (1 game)
Important Notes
The grid will cover all games from your selected starting round through the National Championship.
The First Four (Play-In) games are NOT included and cannot be added.
Once a member selects a square, you cannot edit the starting round unless:
You remove all selected squares, and
The grid is completely empty.
Number of Squares on Grid
Choose from:
100 Squares
50 Squares
25 Squares
Each square represents a unique score combination (0–9).
Members select from the available squares based on your chosen grid size.
⚠️ Once squares are selected, structural changes may require clearing the grid.
Axis Numbers on the Grid
Randomly Assigned
Numbers 0–9 are randomly assigned to both axes.
This ensures fairness and prevents strategic selection based on known numbers.
Custom Assigned
Commissioners manually enter the X (top) and Y (side) axis numbers.
Axis numbers will display once the grid is ready to be locked.
Axis Labels
You can choose how the axes are defined:
Winner on Top Axis, Loser on Side Axis
Top (horizontal) axis = Winning team’s final score (last digit)
Side (vertical) axis = Losing team’s final score (last digit)
For each game:
Take the last digit of the winning team’s score.
Take the last digit of the losing team’s score.
Match those digits to determine the winning square.
Better Seed on Top Axis, Worse Seed on Side Axis
Top (horizontal) axis = Better seed (lower seed number)
Side (vertical) axis = Worse seed (higher seed number)
Seed position determines axis placement — not game outcome.

Unlimited
