Squares, a bracket, or a survivor run — choose whichever game is in season and open its board.

Grab your entries

Claim your squares or picks, rope in a few friends, and follow along as scores update live.

03

Everybody wins

Winners take the payouts and the bragging rights — and a set share of every pot goes to charity.
