"All you have to do is print this PDF (also available in jpeg format) and have everyone at your party pick one or more squares. This part is random, so anyone can play, whether they are an avid fan or this is their first football game of the year; the first square picked is as likely to win as the final one."
"Each square will now reside at the intersection of a row and column. The game is played using the final digit of the score of the game at predetermined intervals. You could play it minute-by-minute, but the traditional way is to use the score at the end of each quarter. Using only the final digit of the score, the winning square is the one that matches that score on the grid."
"An example: after the first quarter, if it is Patriots 7, Seahawks 3, then the player with the square that corresponds to 7 for the Patriots and 3 for the Seahawks is the winner. It would also be the same square if the score were instead Patriots 17, Seahawks 3: Only the last digit matters. The prizes come at the end of each quarter, and for the final score. You determine what or how much each one is worth."
Print a 10x10 grid and have participants select one or more squares at random. After the grid is filled, assign digits 0–9 randomly across the top and left side to represent the teams' final score digits. Determine winners by matching the final digit of each team's score at predetermined intervals, typically at the end of each quarter. The prize structure is set beforehand and can award payouts for each quarter and the final score. Only the last digit of each team's score matters, so scores like 17-3 and 7-3 result in the same winning square. No prior football knowledge is necessary.
