← How It Works

4. Season / Series (Multi-Game Boxes)

These pools share the same two steps — Adding Participants and Drawing the Numbers.

One board and one set of participants, one entry, playing across a whole run of games — a holiday weekend, a playoff stretch, or a full season. It uses all the same box mechanics above (adding participants, drawing numbers), just spread across multiple games.

Setting it up (three quick steps):

  1. Basics — series name, points per box (your pot, for the whole season), notes, and the optional self-claim setting.
  2. Pick your games — pull the games from the schedule and choose each game's type as you add it — Boxes, Minute, or Score Change — and mix them freely across the series. Holiday slates (like Thanksgiving and Christmas) give you the full per-game type choice; quick season day-combo templates (Monday-only, Sunday + Monday, primetime combos) are Boxes-only by design, to keep them simple.
  3. Set the pots — every game gets its own point pot. It defaults to an even split of the series total, but any game's pot is editable — make a championship game bigger, a midweek game smaller, however you like. BoxD shows a running tally as you go: allocate the whole pot for the ✓, or leave some unallocated — anything you don't allocate stays with the organizer (a common way to run a house cut). Going over the pot warns you, but the call is yours.

Each game has full standalone depth. A Boxes game in a series gets the same options as a single Box pool — per-period payouts (Q1, Halftime, Q3, Final) plus touching boxes, reverse score, and pre-game prizes. A Minute game offers all four quarter bonuses — Q1, Halftime, Q3, and Final. A Score Change game offers both of its payout styles. You set all of it per game as you build the series.

One-tap NFL Playoff Package. Want the whole postseason in one pool? The Playoff Package builds the entire bracket — Wild Card through the Super Bowl, all 13 games — as a single series on one board and one set of participants. Games without a matchup yet show as TBD and fill in automatically as the bracket resolves each round.

It ships pre-configured with a mix of formats — a bigger Boxes setup for the Super Bowl, a Minute game and a Score Change game for the two Conference Championships, and Boxes for the rest — and every game stays fully editable after you create it. Your prizes split proportionally across whatever total you set, so the bigger rounds carry more weight automatically — no manual math.

Edit Payouts: changed your mind after building? Adjust any game's pot without rebuilding the series. Editing locks for a game once that game starts (its numbers are drawn or scoring begins), so payouts can't change mid-play.

How it runs: Everyone claims their boxes once, and that carries across every game. Each game gets its own fresh number draw, so the same box plays new numbers each time. BoxD marks the winners for each game automatically. Everything is live: box claims appear for everyone the moment they happen, and each participant's running season total updates as the series unfolds — no refresh needed.

Rolling into next season. When a series wraps, you don't rebuild it from scratch — roll it into a fresh one for next season. The owner-only Roll Over button sits at the bottom of the series; it asks you to confirm, then makes a clean copy:

Tidy the roster first. If some players aren't coming back, drop them before or after you roll over — press and hold a row to remove them and free their boxes — so next season starts with exactly the group you want.

For entertainment purposes only. BoxD organizes and manages your pool — it does not collect, hold, or transfer money or anything of monetary value.
