Some of you may have played this before....

I am running a pool for the tournament and here is my question.

I have a 10x10 grid where names will be filled in and random numbers from 0 - 9 will be filled in for the columns & rows.

for example
Columns = Winner score 58
Rows = Loser score. 55

so if say Mike's name is in column 8 and row 5, he wins the $ for that game in the round.

payout structure shown below.

This is an array formula you must enter it with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER If done properly excel will but {} around the formula in the formula bar. Then copy down
Code:
=INDEX($A$2:$A$5,MATCH(G8&H8,$B$2:$B$5&$C$2:$C$5,0))
