A: UT, 2008 B: Tang, Dragon C: ACC, A&M D: UHCS, UTSW

Step 1

Step 2

13-23-24-30-44-5 (1) The first ball (13) decides tier A: - If it is an even number, UT is in group I and 2008 is in Group II. - If it is an odd number, 2008 is in group I and UT is in Group II. So 2008 in Group I, UT in Group II; (2) The second ball (23) decides tier B: - If it is an even number, Tang is in group I and Dragon is in Group II. - If it is an odd number, Dragon is in group I and Tang is in Group II. So Dragon in Group I, Tang in Group II; (3) The third ball (24) decides tier C: - If it is an even number, ACC is in group I and A&M is in Group II. - If it is an odd number, A&M is in group I and ACC is in Group II. So ACC in Group I, and A&M in Group II; (4) The forth ball (30) decides tier D: - If it is an even number, UHCS is in group I and UTSW is in Group II. - If it is an odd number, UTSW is in group I and UHCS is in Group II. So UHCS in Group I and UTSW in Group II;

Now within Group I: A B C D (2008/Dragon/ACC/UHCS) Group II: a b c d (UT/Tang/A&M/UTSW) we need to know A, B,C,D and a,b,c ,d. We have two unused lotto balls, we can randomly construct two new numbers, by mixing within the 6 balls. From the lotto balls: 13-23-24-30-44-5 we combine balls 1+2+5 to get number 132344. we combine balls 3+4+6 to get number 24305. Use 132344 divides 24 to get remainder 132344 / 24 = 8 Use 24305 divides 24 to get remainder 24305 / 24 = 17 Apply the numbers to look up from the following order table(no case difference here for ABCD/abcd): 0.abcd 1.abdc 2.acbd 3.acdb 4.adbc 5.adcb 6.bacd 7.badc 8.bcad 9.bcda 10.bdac 11.bdca 12.cabd 13.cadb 14.cbad 15.cbda 16.cdab 17 cdba 18.dabc 19.dacb 20.dbac 21.dbca 22.dcab 23.dcba 8(bcad) determines the order for Group I (2008/Dragon/ACC/UHCS), 17(cdba) determines the order for Group II (UT/Tang/A&M/UTSW).   So the final groupings plus seed assignments: Group I: Dragon(B) ACC(C) 2008(A) UHCS(D) Group II: A&M(c) UTSW(d) Tang(b) UT(a) By replacing the seed letter with the team name in the schedule, we get Day 1 Saturday schedule.
