Bowl Bound Team Chart

This is the front  (left) and back (right) of a typical team chart. Rushing plays are 1 through 4, passing 6 through 9 with 5 being the option. Defensive plays A through F are respectively Standard, Short Yardage (gaps), Short Yardage (wide), Pass Prevent (short), Pass Prevent (long) and Blitz. Defense secretly chooses a defense then Offense calls out a play. Each player rolls their own dice, cross index both results for a final result.

Priority Chart

3 Offense Dice
Black '1' opposite '2', '2' opposite '3', '2' opposite '3'

White #1 '1' opposite '4', '2' opposite '3', '0' opposite '5'

White #2 '0' opposite '0', '2' opposite '3' '1' opposite '4'

The black die is read as a multiple of 10. The two white dice are added together with the black die. This gives a result from 10 through 39 in a triple escalating Bell Curve.

Since the black die has one 1, two 2s and three 3s results in the thirties range will be three times as likely as those in the tens. Each die has six faces. Three dice are rolled. 6X6X6 gives 216 different possible combinations of die faces appearing in any given roll. From the White Dice totals above 14 (1 on the black, white total 4) should happen 6 times in those 216 rolls. 24 (2 on the black, white total 4) should occur 12 times since there are two 2s on the black die making it twice as likely as a 1. 34 (3 on the black, white total 4) should occur 18 times since there are three 3s on the black die making it thrice as likely as a 1.

2 Defense Dice
Red '1' opposite '1', '1' opposite '3', '2' opposite '2'

Green '1' opposite '0', '0' opposite '0', '0' opposite '2'
