Printable Blank Football Squares Board
Three blank boards, ready for the printer: the classic 100-square 10×10, a 50-square half board, and the 25-square 5×5. Axis numbers are left off — that's the point: draw 0–9 after the squares are claimed, on paper, in front of everyone.
Print one page per board. Team labels: write the two team names in the margins — columns for one team, rows for the other.
How to run the pool on paper
- Write the two team names on the printed board — one on the top axis, one on the left.
- Sell or hand out all squares first. Names go in the boxes, initials work fine.
- Only then draw the digits: pull 0–9 from a hat for the top axis, then again for the side axis. Ten numbers each, no repeats.
- After each quarter, match the last digit of each team's score to the axis numbers; the intersecting square wins. (Playing with per-quarter repicks online automates exactly this.)
Blank board FAQ
Why draw numbers only after the squares are filled?
It's the integrity rule of every squares pool: if digits exist first, people buy the good ones (0, 7, 4) and the bad ones go unsold. Random assignment of squares first, numbers second, keeps every purchase equal.
Which board should I print?
100 squares for big groups and the classic feel; 50 when the group is mid-sized; the 25-square 5×5 for 5–25 people — see the 25-square variant explained. All three print on one Letter page.
Can I type names before printing instead of writing them?
Yes — use the full generator, deal names onto the board, and print that page instead. The blank version exists for when the drawing has to happen in the room.
