A football squares generator that builds the whole board

The generator creates a complete football squares board from your inputs. It places the team names on the two axes, draws or accepts a digit order for each axis, fills the 100 squares with the names you paste, and writes the buy-in and payout amounts in the header. You can print the board, save it as a PDF or copy a link to the same setup. The preview updates as you type, so the printed sheet matches what you see on screen.

The randomizer is one part of the generator. A randomizer only shuffles the digits 0–9 for the rows and columns; it does not build the board, place names or set the payouts. The generator does all of that and can use the randomizer for the draw. If you already have a printed board and only need the numbers, use the standalone randomizer. If you are starting from nothing, use the generator and let it handle the whole setup.

Paste a list of player names, one per line, and the generator will place them in the squares. This is the fastest way to fill a board for an office or a family party, and it avoids duplicate claims. If players will claim squares in person, leave the board empty and print it with blank squares. Both versions keep the same layout and the same payout header. You can also fill some squares and leave the rest open, then hand out the sheet with the remaining squares blank.

Choose blank numbers when the group wants a physical draw: print the board, fill the squares, then draw slips from a hat and write the digits along the edges. Choose randomized numbers when the group is remote or when nobody wants to be the person accused of loading the hat. The shuffle uses every digit exactly once per axis and shows a seed and timestamp, so the draw can be checked or repeated later. Either way, the digits are assigned only after the squares are claimed.

The print stylesheet uses US Letter landscape and fits the board on one page. Save as PDF to email the board or print copies for a party. If you need a link instead of paper, create an online pool from the same setup: players claim squares from their phones, the host locks the board to draw numbers and enters the score at each period. The free plan covers one online pool at a time, and the printable generator stays free with no limit.

Check four things: both team names are spelled correctly, the grid size matches the number of players, the payout split adds to 100 percent, and the buy-in is written in the header. If you pasted names, scan for duplicates and for anyone who is listed twice. If the board is for a party, print a spare copy. A two-minute check before printing saves a reprint and an argument later.
