How to determine the winners

We will take the score at the end of game (final score) to determine the winner for that game.
The 10 x 10 grid will contain uniquely numbered rows and columns, each from 0 to 9.
Rows will be for the lower seeded team and columns for higher seeded team. (different than last year where we tried winner/loser, but I did not like it.)
The row and column used to determine the winner will be the least significant (rightmost) digit in that team's score.
So, if the final score is Team A 77, Team B 74, then the winner is in the Team A 7 and Team B 4 square. If you have any questions about the format, please feel free to contact me.

How the Squares are Selected

This section is for those who might be interested in the process that is used to determine all the numbers. The list below shows a linked file and the description of that file from previous pools.

With this pool I am not promoting gambling, just trying to add a little extra rooting interest for the games. If there are any problems that come up with the legality of this, it will be shut down and the money returned. Once again, this is not for profit, just something being provided for friends, family, and fellow fans of UConn and Syracuse basketball and football.
