This activity involves a grid, typically ten-by-ten, that individuals can download and print. Each square within the grid is purchased or assigned, and numbers zero through nine are randomly assigned to the rows and columns, representing the last digit of the scores for each team participating in the championship game. The intersection of a participant’s assigned row and column dictates the numbers they hold for each team.
Its enduring appeal stems from its simplicity and accessibility, providing a low-stakes, engaging way for individuals to participate in the excitement surrounding the event. Historically, these grids have fostered a sense of community, encouraging friendly competition among participants regardless of their in-depth knowledge of the sport. The accessibility means minimal investment and the potential for a payout if their assigned numbers match the game’s final digits at the end of each quarter or the entire game.
