Draw Numbers For Each Row of Squares

© Allen Moody

The third step is to draw numbers for each row of squares. You will draw 10 numbers across and 10 numbers going down, so that each square has two corresponding numbers. When you're finished with this step, your box should look similar to the one above.

In our image above, we see that Paul has the square that corresponds with Team A scoring 6 points and Team B scoring two points.

In basketball pools, just the last number of a team's score is used to determine the winning square. For example, Paul would win the pool if Team B happened to defeat Team A by a score of 82-76 or 92-66, etc.
