Football Squares Playing Blog

Sometimes a pot is so hot you have to ask people to take only few squares for awhile until everybody has had a chance to play.

If you are Hosting a family pot to see who gets grandma’s rocking chair, it’s probably best if cousin Wingnut doesn’t go in and claim all the squares for himself, right? What to do?

As of this month, when you first create a pot, you can choose a “Limits” link that displays a new page with two options:

• Max. squares / player
• Limit expires

I’ll bet you can guess you can guess what they do, but what the hey …

“Max. squares / player” lets the Host set a limit on the number of squares a player can claim.

“Limit expires” lets the Host choose a number of days before the event date when this squares limit expires. After that, it’s open season on squares.

The Host can still set a limit - and let it expire - even after players have already begun to choose squares.

As always, if you want more info on how this all works, you can find just the right topic in the “How do I…?” function. This one is a Host’s topic, cleverly named, ”How do I…limit player’s squares?”  http://footballpot.com/HowDoI/limitsquares.html
