4. Season / Series (Multi-Game Boxes)

Start free. Every organizer gets 3 pools with Pool Pro included — ANY format, box pools and season pools alike. Those 3 include everything Pool Pro does: automatic scoring, camera Live Draw, the full toolkit. A pool counts toward the 3 only when it STARTS — numbers drawn for a box pool, Week 1 lock for Survivor and Pick'em, the first game's draw for Rollover and series. Create and delete freely before that; it costs nothing. Once started it counts permanently. Deleting does not give the slot back. A 4th pool of any format requires Pool Pro. Season pools count toward the 3 AND get only their free window: 3 weeks for Survivor and Pick'em, 3 games for Rollover and series. Then Pool Pro. Joining other people's pools is unlimited and always free. Templates, preloaded schedules, and Points Tracker are included.

Every pool links to its real game, and live scores are available to everyone. Every organizer gets 3 pools with Pool Pro included — ANY format, box pools and season pools alike. Those 3 include everything Pool Pro does: automatic scoring, camera Live Draw, the full toolkit. Manual owner controls remain available.

Season Long & Multi-Game series use one board and one set of participants across many games. Use the percent points calculator to split each game as a percent of the total (or edit points directly), set an optional organizer keeps (points held off the top), and build holiday or NFL Playoff Package schedules from the create flow.

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 total, 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 totals — every game gets its own point total. It defaults to an even split of the series total, but any game's total is editable — make a championship game bigger, a midweek game smaller, however you like. Boxd Sports shows a running tally as you go: allocate the whole total for the ✓, or leave some unallocated — anything you don't allocate stays with the organizer (Organizer keeps — optional, default 0, off the top before distribution). Going over the total 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 points (Q1, Halftime, Q3, Final) plus touching boxes, reverse score, and pre-game hits. A Minute game offers all four quarter bonuses — Q1, Halftime, Q3, and Final. A Score Change game offers both of its points styles (Per scoring change / Set Final Points). 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. Point tiers split proportionally across whatever total you set, so the bigger rounds carry more weight automatically — no manual math.

Edit Points: changed your mind after building? Adjust any game’s total or point tiers without rebuilding the series. Editing locks for a game once that game starts (its numbers are drawn or scoring begins), so awarded points 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 (Random, Manual, or in-app Live Draw — Founding Commissioner / Pool Pro can use a Live Draw camera; see Drawing the Numbers), so the same box plays new numbers each time. Every organizer gets 3 pools with Pool Pro included — ANY format, box pools and season pools alike. Those 3 include everything Pool Pro does: automatic scoring, camera Live Draw, the full toolkit. Box claims appear for everyone as they happen. Free participants get the finished board and ‘You won’ after the game. VIP participants see live winning moments and receive hit alerts in every pool, no matter who runs it. Open a game for that week’s Winnings; the series home shows Season Winnings (My winnings + by person) for the whole group. When a linked game is underway or final, box ownership on that series freezes so nobody reassigns mid-game.

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 Sports organizes and manages your pool — it does not collect, hold, or transfer money or anything of monetary value.
