How To Play

Create a Game

To create a game, select "Create Game" from the main menu

From the list of Today's Games, select one of the games either In Progress or Scheduled to be played. You can join a game already in progress which will begin with the most recent play when you start the game.

Inviting Players

Once you select your MLB game, use the share icon next to the game code to text your friends with the game code to join.

Starting The Game

Scheduled Games - if you are creating a game where the MLB game has not started, you can select Start Game and you will be brought to a "Please Wait For the Game to Begin" screen. You can exit this screen to return to the Main Menu or remain there to wait for the MLB game to begin at which point your Pass The Cup game will automatically start. Fans can join these games with the game code right up until the MLB game begins.

In Progress Games - if the MLB game has already started, do not select Start Game until all the players have joined. You will see players appear in the Game Lobby as they join the game. At least 2 players are required to start the game which should help in case you accidentally press Start Game immediately after creating the game.

*You will receive a popup after selecting Start Game to ask if you are actually attending the game. This information is used to understand how many fans are playing Pass The Cup while attending the game.

Join a Game

After receiving the game code for the game, select Join Game from the Main Menu. On the Join Game screen, enter the code in the Game Code field and select Enter Game.

  • You will see the Game Lobby screen if the game creator has not yet started the game.

  • You will see the "Please Wait for the Game to Begin" message if you are joining a Scheduled Game that has been created but the MLB game has yet to begin.

My Games

By selecting My Games from the Main Menu, you can monitor Active, Scheduled and Completed games.

  • Active Games - games that are in progress (long press any game from this view to see the up to the minute play by play and scoring)

  • Scheduled Games - games that have been scheduled but have not yet begun

  • Completed Games - games that have completed (press Show play by play data to see the complete play by play (from the point your Pass The Cup game began) and scoring)

Want to check out plays from an in progress game? Press the arrow in the half circle on the left side of the game screen and then long press (hold your finger down) on the game you're playing. You'll get an up-to-date list of all plays and scoring that took place up to the current at bat.
