## What is The Box Champs?

Get in the game with Box Champs — the modern twist on the classic box pool! Whether it's NFL, NBA, College Football or College Basketball, MLB or the NHL, Box Champs brings the excitement of live sports straight to your fingertips — built for today’s mobile, social, and live-sports world.

HOW IT WORKS

Here’s how a game is created and played:

- Managers select a live sporting event (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc) and customize the game setup.
- On the Create Game screen, managers choose:
  • Which parts of the game will determine winners based on the sport — quarters, halves, innings, periods, or final scores
  • The token cost per box
  • The maximum number of boxes each player can select
- Once the game is configured, managers invite friends to join.
- When the game is live, each box’s coordinates are matched to the last digit of each team’s score at the end of the selected time periods (e.g., Q1, Q2, Halftime, Final).
- Winners are automatically calculated and highlighted as the game progresses.- Managers select a live sporting event (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc) and customize the game setup.

It’s easy to join, quick to set up, and packed with suspense as each score update could change the outcome. Whether you're playing for fun or bragging rights, Box Champs keeps every play exciting.
