// Step 5. Replace the value of "persons" with your list of participants
// Step 6. Press enter. A table will appear with Bengals scores going across, Rams scores going down.
// Note: If participants cannot be evenly distributed into all 100 squares, generated picks will be "pushed" to the left
// and you will end up with some empty squares.
