SuperBowl Squares
Mentions: Office Pools
Super Bowl Squares is a great variation on the typical Super Bowl office pool, which we recommend that you and your coworkers try this season.
The pool is structured as follows. Participants fill out their names on a 10 x 10 grid and win based on the score at the end of each quarter. The grid has 100 empty squares, and a player buys an empty square by placing their name in it. Generally, participants pick a number out of a hat to decide who picks first. Each empty square costs an amount determined by the participants prior to the beginning of the game. When all the squares are filled, a number between 0 and 9 are assigned to the top and on the side of the grid. The top of the grid represents one team, and the side of the grid represents the other team.
The numbers in each row and column represents the last digit of the score at the end each quarter. For example, if the score is Team A 14-Team B 3 at the end of the 1st quarter, the person who has the square 4 and 3 wins the money
With 100 squares available, the total amount that can be won is 100 times the cost of each square. In most pools, the pot is divided in equally in 4 parts, for each quarter. In some pools, the pot may be divided into 5 parts, with the final score as the fifth winner. Unless the game goes into overtime, the winner of the 4th quarter and final score are the same.
