The Super Bowl Pool uses the same concept as the Weekly SportsBox Pool I offered throughout the regular season. It is the traditional square box, in which you select a square in a 100 square grid.

Example of the Super Bowl Pool Grid

After the pool is closed, the numbers 0-9 are randomly placed along one horizontal side and one vertical side of the grid (in red on the sample grid below), each side representing one of the two teams. The numbers represent the last digit of the scores for each team.

Example of a Completed Super Bowl Pool Grid

The winning squares are determined by taking the last digit of of the score for each team and finding the intersection point on the grid. In this example, if the actual score at the end of the 1st quarter was  AFC 10, NFC 7, the winning square would be at the intersection of AFC 0, NFC 7. Sandy Koufax would be the 1st quarter winner.
