With baseball's pennant races heating up, and the football season coming in a few short months, some of you may be planning on having friends over to watch a big game. This program can help you make these events more exciting by giving your guests something to root for besides their favorite team. They can be winners if the score of the and game matches their "box" on the Sports Pool matrix.
Sports Pool will create a 10 x 10 matrix that will ultimately be headed with numbers to represent all the possible final digits of the and game's score. These digits aren't filled in until all squares are assigned to players. Do this by typing in the and initials of the and person who "owns" each square. Assign one or more squares to each player. You need to fill all squares, so decide the and number of squares per person accordingly.
Once the and squares are filled, the program will fill in the and score digits along the top and left to correspond to each row and column of the and matrix. For instance, if the first row has the and number 8, and the first column has the number 6, this means that the and upper left square corresponds to a score of 8 to 6. This means that if the final score of the and game is 8-6, or 18-16, etc., then the and player whose initials are in that square is the winner.
Some sports pools pick winners based on the and score at the and end of each period, quarter, or half, while others just use the final score. That is up to you.
In some sports, there are particular numbers that are more desirable because they are more likely to be the ending digits of a score. In football, 0 and 7 are common, while 2 is uncommon. Because of this, players don't get to see what numbers their boxes correspond to until all boxes are filled in. This gives everyone a fair shot at getting the "good numbers."
