How to Play Football Squares
1. Find a Super Bowl Pool

2. Get a Super Bowl Squares Template
If you’re looking for a template for a Super Bowl pool, you can download the one above or create your own.
One team will be placed horizontally on the X-axis, and the other team will be placed vertically on the Y-axis. The total number of boxes is 100, and the boxes will be numbered 0 to 9.
Don’t yet place the numbers on the template, as those will be drawn randomly after all the boxes have been filled.
3. Buy Your Super Bowl Boxes
Depending on the Super Bowl pool, the number of boxes you buy is completely up to you. Some might have a limit, while others will not. However, don’t go out and buy every single box, as you’ll just break even.
Where your boxes are placed on the grid is dependent on who’s running the pool. You might be able to choose where you want your box to be on the grid. In other instances, the person running the pool might have you select random numbers 0-100, and then the numbers will be randomly placed on the grid.
4. Assign or Select Numbers
Once the Super Bowl boxes are filled, the person who runs the pool will assign the numbers on the horizontal (home team) and vertical (away team) axes.
The numbers are drawn randomly to keep things fair. Each row and column will have a number assigned to it.
5. Pick Winners Based On Corresponding Boxes
The winners are decided at the end of each quarter, with the final score usually being a bigger prize than the rest.
The winner is determined by looking at the second digit of each of the team’s scores. For example, at the end of the second quarter of last year’s Super Bowl, the San Francisco 49ers were up 10-3 over the Kansas City Chiefs. The person with the square 49ers 0, Chiefs 3 would be the winner.
If a square is unowned, no one wins the quarter, and the money is rolled over into the next quarter.
What’s the Difference Between Super Bowl Squares & Super Bowl Boxes?
Super Bowl squares and Super Bowl boxes refer to the same thing. However, people may refer to them differently depending on which part of the country you’re in.
Regardless, you’ll still be able to use the advice above to play in whichever pool you decide to enter.
