SquareUp will choose which days to run contests, and will always give advance notice. In order for SquareUp to run a contest, at least 8 teams (4 games) must be playing in the given contest interval. Theoretical Maximum Entries based on # of teams playing: 8 teams (4 games): 56 Combinations 10 teams (5 games): 120 Combinations 12 teams (6 games): 220 Combinations 14 teams (7 games): 2002 Combinations 16 teams (8 games): 11440 Combinations 18 teams (9 games): 48620 Combinations 20 teams (10 games): 167960 Combinations Even when 20+ teams are playing, SquareUp may choose to limit the amount of mintable scorecards in order to incentivize trading on secondary markets. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.squareuplabs.com/squareup-the-product/contest-calendar.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
