100 squaresHow a Squares Pool Works
Every square is a random bet
Each participant is randomly assigned squares on a grid, then each row and column gets a randomly shuffled digit 0–9 (or 0–4 on a 5×5). Nobody picks their own numbers, which is what keeps the pool fair.
Winners are decided by the score
At each payout checkpoint — halftime and final for soccer, or each quarter for football — take the last digit of each team's score. Whoever's square sits at that row/column intersection wins that round.
Works for any big game, all year
Built for the World Cup Final, but the same random-grid mechanic runs Super Bowl squares, March Madness watch parties, or any office pool — just rename the teams and generate.
A Worked Example
Say 20 coworkers chip in $5 each for a 10×10 grid — that's a $500 pot. With payout checkpoints set to "2 Halves" and a final-weighted split (40% / 60%), whoever holds the winning square at halftime collects $200, and whoever holds it when the final whistle blows takes home $300.
Smaller group? Switch to a 5×5 grid at $10 a square — same $500 pot, just 25 squares instead of 100, so everyone ends up holding multiple squares instead of just one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a squares pool work?
Participants are randomly assigned squares on a grid (10x10 for 100 squares, or 5x5 for 25). Each row and column is then assigned a randomly shuffled digit. At the end of each payout checkpoint, the square matching the last digit of each team's score wins a share of the pot.
Is this generator random and fair?
Yes — names are shuffled into squares and the row/column digits are shuffled independently using an unbiased Fisher-Yates shuffle, entirely in your browser. No one, including the pool organizer, can control which square anyone gets.
Can I use this for the Super Bowl instead of the World Cup?
Yes. Just rename the teams and switch "Payout Checkpoints" to "4 Quarters (Football)" — the same random-grid mechanic works for the Super Bowl, March Madness, or any other game.
Does this handle real money or track winners automatically?
No — this is a free layout and payout-math generator only. It doesn't collect payments or track live scores; you still run the pool and pay out winners yourselves.
