Dah Da Duh Da, it is time again! Super Bowl Weekend, and that means good friends, great commercials, and well probably a not-so-good football game. Personally, I am still trying to get over the Dallas Cowboys loss and the whole Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson fiasco! One thing is for sure, the Fox network will make owning that HDTV worth while. This game is always the best in terms of resolution, kind of like Qipit! We make those dark hard to read pictures of documents into highly legible digital copies. Yes, that is a shameless plug! Kind of like bringing up Jessica Simpson in the Qipit Blog. Although she could use Qipit to send out personalized autographs to her many fans. Of course, this would not include many of the Dallas Cowboys faithful. Sorry Jessica, we love our football and need our quarterbacks focused on the game and not on you. At least, duing the season.

One of our more popular blog posts last year, was the post on Football Squares and Qipit, so back by popular demand is a new improved football squares template, the football squares rules and all the other Superbowl XLII (47) information you need to know.

Football Squares Rules

Within the grid, the top row of numbers represents the possible points scored of team one and the left column represents team two’s score. (The numbers are not placed in these squares until the players have added their names to the grid.)

All the players add their names to the other free squares within the grid. Depending on the number of players, some may choose more than one square. As soon as the players have filled in all of the squares, numbers from 0 to 9 are drawn blindly and filled in across the top row. This is repeated for the left column. When you’re done, you’ll have numbers from 0 to 9 in random order across the top row and down the left column, and names filled in all of the other squares.

The object of the game is to “choose” the score of the game by having your name in the square at the intersection of the final points of each team (as you draw an imaginary line down from team one’s score at the top and across from team two’s score). If there is a two-digit number, the second digit is used for the match. For example, if team one has 14 points and team two has 21, the person in the square at the intersection of #4 from the top row and #1 from the left column wins. You can have four winners by selecting the scores at the end of each quarter, two winners by using the half-time score and the final, or just have one big winner using the final score of the game.
