🏀 Official Pool Rules
One Grid. 63 Games. 63 Winners. Numbers stay the same for the entire tournament.
Determining Home vs. Visitor
We use the standard scoreboard format. The team listed on the BOTTOM is the HOME team.
Example: Michigan and La. Tech are the Home teams.
- HOME (Bottom of Scoreboard) → Use HOME numbers.
- VISITOR (Top of Scoreboard) → Use VISITOR numbers.
How to Win: The "Last Digit" Rule
The winning square is determined by the last digit of each team's final score.
Example: If the final score is Home 72 - Visitor 68...
You take the 2 from the Home team and the 8 from the Visitor team. The square where the Home 2 column and the Visitor 8 row intersect is the winner!
You take the 2 from the Home team and the 8 from the Visitor team. The square where the Home 2 column and the Visitor 8 row intersect is the winner!
