    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!

    What if?

    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?

    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.
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    There is never a good time for lazy writing!

    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.

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