[edit] Super Bowl Squares
Super Bowl squares is a type of office pool in which users fill out their names on a 10x10 grid and win based on the score at the end of each quarter. The grid has 100 empty squares. A person buys any empty square by placing their name in it. Each empty square costs an amount determined by the participants. 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.
