Name it, set a passphrase, done.
Send the URL and passphrase to your group.
Players sign in and claim their own, no admin busywork.
Link a real NFL or NCAA game and quarter scores fill in on their own, or enter them yourself, winners are calculated either way.
The math behind the grid, no signup required to understand it.
A 10×10 grid has 100 squares, or go with the 5×5 Big Board for 25 bigger squares instead. Either way, each team gets digits randomly assigned to a row or column once the grid fills up.
Take the last digit of each team's score. Whoever holds the square where those two digits meet wins that quarter.
Most pools pay out at the end of every quarter, not just the final score, so there are usually four winners, not one.
Decide how much of the pot each quarter is worth, an even split, a bigger final payout, whatever your group prefers.
Everyone signs in and claims their own squares, no more texting someone to update a spreadsheet.
Set each side of the board to a real NFL or college team for automatic colors and logo, or type a custom name, your call for each matchup.
Post the score each quarter and the winning square lights up automatically, with a trophy badge showing which quarter it won.
Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or PayPal, whichever your group already uses. Money moves directly between people, this site never touches or holds anyone's funds.
A running Winnings list shows every winner and their total, with a checkbox for marking each one paid out and a "still owed" total so nothing slips through after the game ends.
Every pool is invite-only to join, gated by a passphrase you set, and never listed publicly. Want to lock down viewing too? Admins can require signing in, the passphrase, or both, just to see the board.
Google sign-in or a simple username and password, whichever's easier for your group, and admins can link the two together if the same person ends up using both.
The board updates automatically as squares get claimed and scores get posted, no one has to keep hitting refresh to see what's changed.
Not picky about which ones you get? Grab a handful of squares at random instead of clicking through the grid one at a time.
Need a physical copy for the party? One click gives you a clean, printable version of the board.
Prefer fewer, bigger squares? Switch to a 5x5 board where each row and column covers two digits instead of one, all 100 score combinations still covered, just 25 squares to fill.
Link your pool to a real NFL or college football game and quarter scores fill in and post themselves as it happens, no typing in scores by hand or watching the clock.
Every signed-in player can get a browser notification the moment a quarter or the Final posts, even with the tab closed. Admins can also send updates to a Discord channel.
Switch between light mode, dark mode, or match your device's setting, right from your name menu at the top of the page.

Pay once per season, no subscriptions, no per-player fees. Access runs through June 30, renew for the next season whenever you're ready to create a new pool.
No. Set up Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or PayPal and a pay link is generated for each player, but money moves directly between your group, not through this site.
No. Pools aren't listed anywhere public. Only people you share the link and passphrase with can find or join it.
They need to sign in, either with Google or a simple username and password you can set up on the spot, so their picks are tied to them.
Not if you don't want to. Link your pool to a real NFL or NCAA game and quarter scores fill in and post themselves as it happens. You can always enter them by hand instead, or switch back at any time.
Both. Pick NFL or NCAA when setting up your teams or linking a live game, real team names and colors either way.
Your pool and its history stick around, nothing is deleted automatically, and the board keeps showing exactly as it left off. Starting a new game on it for the next season needs an active plan, see the next question.
Yes, to create a new pool or to reset an existing one for a new season (Start New Game). Your plan is valid through June 30, so you're covered for the rest of the season you bought it for, then you'll pay again (same $15/$45 pricing) whenever you're ready for the next one.
A simple, private way to run a squares pool with the people you actually know.
