My Intro:
Hi, my name is Mello and I am part of team BeeYOU I had so much fun hosting Super Bowl LII Block Pool Contest that I want to host another. Rather than wait for football season to commence, I thought, “why not apply this to basketball?” It is a high scoring volatile game with some dramatic, memorable endings that will leave you breathless. Block pools are closely tied to the Super Bowl, but why not to the NBA All Star Games?
How to play the game:
There are 100 blocks available. After a block is selected, it is no longer available to the next player. Each player can pick 2 un-selected blocks. After all the blocks have been claimed, it is time to randomly assign the numbers 0-9 to each column and row heading using this website: https://draftkit.com/assets/pages/free-box-game-number-generator.html Each square represents the last digit of the cumulative score in the game based on the column and row numbers.
A winner will be determined at the end of the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, and final score which includes over-time if it applies. The winner is determined by looking at the last number in each team’s cumulative score, and then matching those numbers on the grid and seeing which square intersects those two numbers.
Here is an example of how you would win:
If the cumulative 1st quarter score for Boston is 25, Toronto is 24. The last digit for the Boston is 5, and the last digit for the Toronto is 4. The square on the grid that has Boston with number 5 and Toronto with the number 4 will be the winner for the 1st quarter. You have 5 chances to win.
