The rolling digits

Questions
How do football squares work?
Players claim squares on a 10 by 10 grid. Once it's full, the numbers 0 to 9 are drawn at random for each team's side. After each quarter, the last digit of each team's score points to one square, and its owner wins that quarter.
Does RSVPlinks collect money for squares?
No. Games are for fun: RSVPlinks never collects, holds or pays out money for squares or any game.
Can guests who didn't RSVP claim squares?
Yes, by default anyone with the link or the QR code gives a name and claims. Choose Guests opt in on the RSVP form or add players yourself to keep it to your guests.

Yes. The print page makes the full grid with names and numbers for the wall at the party.
