FAQ
When is the 2027 national championship game?
Monday, January 25, 2027, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The two teams are decided by the College Football Playoff semifinals.
Can I set up the pool before the teams are known?
Yes. Create it now with placeholder names and let people pick squares early. Numbers are drawn after the squares are taken, so it doesn’t matter who plays when people choose.
How do college football squares pay out?
Most pools pay at the end of each quarter, using the last digit of each team’s score. You can also pay halftime and final only, or just the final score.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no per-grid fee and no account needed. Create the pool, share the link, and run it start to finish for free. Signing in is optional and only saves the pool to your account so you can manage it from any device.
How do I share the pool with friends?
After you create the pool you get a share link. Send it by text, group chat, or email. Anyone with the link can open the board, type their name, and tap open squares. Taken squares fill in for everyone within a few seconds.
When should the numbers be drawn?
After the squares are taken, so nobody can choose a square that already has good numbers. Draw at random with one tap, or type in numbers you pulled from a hat. Once numbers are set, players can no longer change their squares.
What if someone takes a square and never pays?
Turn on approval so new picks stay pending until you approve them, mark each square paid as money comes in, and remove names that never pay. A join code keeps out anyone who was forwarded the link.
Does this collect or pay out money?
No. Add your Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal and players get a button that opens the app with their amount filled in, so money goes straight to you. The board tracks who has paid. Check the rules where you live before playing for money.
Can I use it for a fundraiser?
Yes. Set a share of the pot for your school, team, or charity, and the board shows the cause and pays winners from the rest.
