If you created this game, log in with your admin password using the login form in the sidebar. Once logged in, you will see a set of admin controls above the grid. Here is the recommended order of operations:
- Share the game link. Copy the link using the "Copy Link" button and send it to your group. Players can open the link and click any empty square to claim it by entering their name.
- Wait for players to fill the board. You can track progress in the sidebar, which shows how many squares are claimed and who has claimed them. If you need to fill squares yourself, use the "Quick assign" dropdown to select or create a player name, then tap squares to assign them.
- Assign numbers. Once all 100 squares are filled (or as many as you plan to fill), click "Assign Numbers" to randomly place digits 0 through 9 along the rows and columns. Do this before the game starts. Numbers must be assigned for live scoring and automatic winner highlighting to work. Numbers can only be assigned once, so make sure the board is complete before clicking.
- Lock the grid. Click the Lock button to prevent further changes. This is recommended at least 30 minutes before the game starts. You can unlock and relock as needed.
- Enter scores (manual games only). If you did not link to a scheduled game, click the "Scores" button to manually enter scores at the end of each period. For linked games, scores update automatically.
Editing squares: As admin, you can click any square to change or clear the name, even when the grid is locked. This is useful if someone needs to swap out or if you need to fix a typo. All changes are logged in the Activity section of the sidebar so there is a full audit trail.
Settings: Click the gear icon to access game settings. From there you can update team names, team colors, the game title, scoring format, and the custom message that appears at the top of the page. If you started with a manual game, you can also use the "Link Live Scoring" button in Game Controls to attach your board to a real scheduled matchup so scores and winners update automatically.
