THRESHOLD SUPERBOWL POOL! (Prizes!!)

Okay! Take Two!

Welcome to the 1st annual Threshold Superbowl Pool! We are running a standard 10x10 number grid, like most of you have seen.

HOW IT WORKS:
The Grid is here:
Superbowl Number Grid

There are 100 squares, that each cost $2.00 When you buy squares, your name will be randomly put on the grid, filling all the squares you have bought. When the grid is full, numbers will be randomly assigned Across the top for the NFC, and down the side for the AFC.

The score after each quarter is taken, and the corresponding last digits of each team's score is put into the grid, determining the winner. If after the first quarter the score is NE 12, CAR 15, then 2 is used for AFC, and 5 is used for NFC.

PRIZES:

The winner for each quarter will recieve $25 in registration. The Winner for the FINAL SCORE will get the big prize of $125!

HOW TO PURCHASE:

You need to either Register Online using a Credit or Debit Card, or use the online Check method of Registration.

***IMPORTANT*** Due to the transaction fee, there is a MINIMUM purchase of $10, or 5 squares!!!!!

There will be a maximum purchase of $20 (10 squares) for now, so more people can participate.

FOR YOUR CHARACTER NAME PUT "SUPERBOWL [char]"
Example: SUPERBOWL Serith

Squares must be bought before Sat, Jan 31st at 8pm EST to finalize the grid and get it ready.

NOTE: Money for this pool DOES NOT COUNT towards any monthly lotteries. This is a one time shot to make up to $200 off of 10.

Contact me for any questions, or post any inquiries. HAVE FUN!

the Ongoing Grid as it fills up is here. Note the lack of numbers.

I -will- be joining the grid before the deadline!! Just need to get one of those damn paycheck thingies that rule my life.

What happens if more people register for squares than are available? Ex, you aren't online, and 15 people send in $ for 10 squares each.

Will there be a second grid?

In that case There will either be a second grid, or I will give up my squares. I dont see that happening yet... And if it does Im sure we can figure out something good :)

When we get to 100 squares taken, I'll post that its closed.

If there is enough interest, we'll open it up for a second grid.

Right now a grand total of TWO people have signed up so I'm not terribly worried yet.

I will try my best to do this. Right now I'm trying to sell my own squares that are $5 a piece. If I don't have to buy all them up I'll get in on this.

However one thing to note. Watch the formatting on the grid. Some of them the borders are missing on the blocks and it might get confusing when picking squares.


For instance.. row F in the the AFC and Row C in the NFC meet up with Leshrak and it looks like 3 blocks are one big square. Perhaps I may suggest text wrapping in case the name is too big for the square.

*goes away now*

Oops is this grid live? I think I might have just fixed the borders if it is. :o

Its fine, I just had some issues with something. The grid is still there, It'll be all clear and neat when its out of working form. Ill fix it now

Ok, I ordered my boxes. Sorry for the delay. I just kept forgetting about it

I'm in on this too. Sent the reg. yesterday.

I suffer from forgetfulness too. Finally picked up my squares!

Bought mind. Wonderful idea.

I'm in! Now I have a reason to be overly concerned about the score...WOOHOO!

There is only Room for 10 more dollars, so please contact me before you register.

OKAY! The grid is closed, unless Rulfwar doesnt register in the next day or two.

The Final Grid is here:

SUPERBOWL GRID

Numbers were generated by two people who are not participating, and had absolutely no knowledge of the positions, Haigen and Nyravar, in less than 10 seconds. They can vouch for the validity, but I dont see why that would be necessary.

GOOD LUCK!

If anyone else wanted to get in on the grid but couldn't, please post here.

If for some reason there is tons of interest, we might consider doing a Grid B.

All registrations are now in for the entire grid.

Looking at the playoff games for both the Pats and the Panthers the best numbers to have are 4,3,7, and 0. Of course 8 is the worst...I'm pulling for the underdog, so: GO 8!

(yes, this post means I'm bored waiting for the party before the big game to start)

ANd its OVER!!!!

The Final grid:

The winners:

Q1 drasioni
Q2 Levastire
Q3 Levastire


Final: Gadiantor!!!

Not only was it a great SB, I was totally pumped cheering for both teams to score to hook me up! Thanks to Serith and Ari for the work they put in!

Indeed, thank you for all the work!

This was a lot of fun last year (and not just because I won ;) ), and I think it would be awesome again this year...just over a month away, so not too early to start thinking about it!

I'm up for it again! I have to get my pool at work ready too. Thanks for the reminder!

Count me in if we're doing this!

I probably shouldn't have bumped this thread since I'm not really going to have time to organize it...anyone out there with the time and ability to run this for us this year?
