Square Pools

"Square Pools" are the 10x10 grid pools that you always see for the Superbowl. Our software makes it simple to run a square pool and you can run them for any game in any sport. Set up your pool by defining the teams and the maximum number of squares each person can pick. Then, when the square is filled or when everyone is done making picks, close the pool and our computer will generate random numbers to fill in the square and send each member an email with their numbers. (Of course they can check this website to see their numbers too.) Click here to start your own Square pool.
