How do football squares work?

Football squares use a 10x10 grid where each cell represents a unique combination of score digits. Participants write their name in one or more squares. After the grid is full, numbers 0-9 are randomly assigned to each row and column. Winners are determined by the last digit of each team's score at the end of each quarter.

Print the grid, have participants write their name in empty squares (one name per box). Once all 100 squares are claimed, randomly assign numbers 0-9 to the rows and columns. At the end of each quarter, the square where the last digits of both teams' scores intersect wins that quarter's payout.

What is the typical payout for football squares?

A common structure is to split the total pot across all four quarters. For example, with $10 per square ($1,000 total): Q1 gets 20% ($200), Q2 gets 20% ($200), Q3 gets 20% ($200), and the Final score gets 40% ($400). Some pools pay equal amounts per quarter.

How Football Squares Work

Print the Grid

Print out a blank template or build a custom board. You'll get a 10x10 grid with 100 squares to fill.

Claim Squares

Draw Numbers

Once all 100 squares are claimed, randomly draw numbers 0 through 9 for each row and column header and write them in.

At the end of each quarter, check the last digit of both scores. The square where those two digits meet on the grid is the winner.
