What is Beat the Box?
In Beat the Box, participants are divided into small groups ("boxes") of 4 to 16 players. Within each box, everyone plays everyone else. The standings in each box decide the box winner. If you want players to move up or down a box, you redraw the boxes for the next round yourself: Slams does not move players automatically.
