How to fill in a Super Bowl Squares sheet

  1. Step 1

    Print the grid

    Names go in the squares. Ten people taking ten each fills it as well as a hundred people taking one, so print it as soon as you know roughly who is coming.

  2. Step 2

    Wait until it is full

    Do not write any numbers on it yet. This is the step that decides whether the pool is fair, and it is the one most people get wrong.

  3. Step 3

    Draw the numbers

    Once every square has a name, pull 0 through 9 out of a hat twice: once across the top, once down the side. Write them in the empty boxes.

  4. Step 4

    Check it each quarter

    Take the last digit of each team's score and find where they meet. That square wins that quarter. There is a line on the sheet to write it down.

The paper board is the easy half

Printing the grid takes a minute. What takes the rest of the week is collecting from eleven people, three of whom will pay you on Sunday, remembering who has actually paid, being the one holding the cash, and working out the four winners while everyone is talking over the game.

The same board runs here without any of that. Squares are claimed from a phone through one private link, cards are held and only charged if the board fills, the digits draw themselves the moment the hundredth square goes, and every quarter settles off the live score before anyone in the room has finished the arithmetic.

Printable Super Bowl Squares questions

How do I print a Super Bowl Squares grid?

Set the title and the two teams above, then use Print or save as PDF. The sheet is a 10x10 grid with 100 blank squares, a blank row and column for the numbers you will draw later, and a payout table to fill in as the game goes. It prints on one page on Letter or A4, and there is nothing to sign up for.

Should the numbers already be on the sheet when I print it?

No, and this is the one thing worth being strict about. If the digits are visible while people are still choosing squares, anyone can see which numbers are left and pick around them, which is the easiest way to make a Squares pool unfair. That is why every board here prints with the number row and column blank: you draw them from a hat after all 100 squares are claimed.

Can I print it large for a party or an office?

Yes. Pick a bigger paper size before you print, up to a 24 by 36 inch poster, or save it as a PDF and take that to a print shop. The whole sheet is drawn as text and lines rather than as an image, so it stays sharp at any size rather than going blocky when it is enlarged.

What should each quarter pay?

A common split is 20% of the pot for the first quarter, 20% at halftime, 20% at the third and 40% for the final score, which weights the ending everyone is actually watching for. You can change all four above, and if you set a price per square the sheet prints the dollar figures instead of the percentages so nobody has to do the arithmetic at half time.

How many people do I need?

As many as you like, as long as all 100 squares end up with a name on them. Ten people taking ten squares each works exactly the same as a hundred people taking one. What matters is that the grid is full before the numbers are drawn.

What happens if the grid never fills up?

On paper, the host has to decide: shrink the pot, cover the empty squares themselves, or hand the money back. It is the least pleasant part of running a paper pool. Online here, it settles itself, cards are only authorized when squares are claimed and are never charged unless the board fills.

Print it, or let it run itself

The sheet above is yours either way. If you would rather not be the one holding a hundred dollars in an envelope, the online board takes about a minute to set up.
