If you are playing squares for March Madness I made a simple program to see if you won

Title says it all.

Add your squares numbers as Winning Last Number/Losing Last Number. If you play squares you know how it works. E.G. A game that ends as 73 - 64 would be 3,4 for the winning square.

All data is pulled from ESPN. It should update every time you run it but there may be a 30 minute delay.

This program in no way tracks you or gathers any data about you. The hosting site might…I do not know. Y’all can figure if you won or not on your own.

ETA: The host is free for me for two weeks. That is just a bit less then the Championship game. I could re-post but probably will not. At that point it is a couple teams to track.

I’m not sure why a person would need a program for this… Surely it’s just as easy to just check the score?

And I’ve never seen a squares game where the order was winning team/losing team. All the ones I’ve seen have the teams specified, so Villanova 4 Georgetown 8 would win on Villanova 64 to Georgetown 58, or on Villanova 44 to Georgetown 78.

Not sure how you play squares.

For my crew we buy a square for (say) $10. So, $1,000 for the whole grid.(we spend more but this is an example)

The first round is something like 40+ games. Maybe you can keep all that in your head but us mere mortals can’t. Hence the tracking program. The free use website ends in two weeks which is before the end of March Madness but then we’ll be down to a very few teams so no need for a tracker. That I can keep in my head no problem.

The squares games I’ve played were specific in that the Rows were home team, and the Columns were visiting teams. Home and visitors are based on seeding, with the higher-seeded team being the home team. For example, if a 4 seed plays a 5 seed, the 4 seed is the home team. If the seeds are the same (could only happen in the final four), the NCAA makes the determination.

In my case the row and column numbers are chosen by a deck of cards dealt in the bar for all to see.

The top row is the winner’s axis. The column is the loser’s axis.

Only aces (zero) to ten are in the deck which is shuffled many times. Then each card is turned and listed on the squares sheet.

The program I shared is just zero to nine on each axis. Doesn’t change anything and was far more simple to code.
