Thank you for the question, and sorry for the misunderstanding. Those digits represent the final digit of each team's final score. So [1,0] could mean [Eagles 21, Chiefs 20], [Eagles 31, Chiefs 20], [Eagles 41, Chiefs 30], etc. In these examples and others like it, whoever owned the [Eagles 1, Chiefs 0] square would win the pool.

Ohhhh okay. So like 0-0 isn't a tie it's like 10-0 or something. Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

Yes, [0,0] would be like 10-0, 20-10, 30-20, etc. I should consider how to make this more clear on the standalone image because right now it sort of requires prior knowledge of how "Super Bowl Squares pools" work.

Most of these pools do offer smaller prizes if you have the correct square after the first, second, or third quarters as well. (The final score is the big pot.) So practically speaking, 0-0 is actually conceivable if no team scores in the first quarter, for instance.
