You have 3 possible outcomes and 8 teams.
Therefore 3^8 or 6561

1 match= 3 options W,L,D=3 to the power of 1
2 matches= 9 options WW,WD,WL,DW,DD,DL,LW,LD,LL=3 to the power of 2

and so on

x matches=3 to the power of x

so 8 matches = 3 to the power of 8 =6561

edit- obviously I meant H,A,D as my 3 options, not W,L,D

Only for mathematicians, and if you have a scientific calculator I reckon myw ay is the easiest for majority of people.
