GridironFans.com's Super Bowl Squares Now Open!

    The Super Bowl Game is here for GridironFans.com members to jump in on! Here’s how it works: A 10 x 10 grid (table) is set up. Players pay to "own" one or more boxes in the grid. All 100 boxes need to be sold. Once all boxes are sold, numbers zero through nine will be randomly picked and placed above each column and to the left of each row in the grid. Winners are determined based on the scores at the end of each quarter of the game. Take the right most single digit of each team’s score to determine which row and column to look in. For example, if the score was AFC team 20, NFC team 14, you would go down the column with the "0" above it, and across the row with the "4" to the left of it, to locate the winner for that score.


    The Rules:
    1. The cost to enter will be $500 in vCash per box.
    2. Entry into the Super Bowl Box Pool is not confirmed and your box can not be claimed until payment is received. Payment can be made by donating vCash to SteveRobWhatever.
    3. Once your entry fee is received, you will be notified by PM and at that point you will be able to choose the box(es) you wish to purchase. Simply reply to the confirmation PM with the box number(s) you want to purchase. If you don't choose a square within 24 hours from the confirmation PM date, you will forfeit reserving your square.
    4. The numbers for the rows and columns will be randomly picked and assigned once all boxes have been claimed, hopefully no less than a week before the Super Bowl. The NFC team's score will be represented along the top (horizontally) and the AFC team's score down the left side (vertically) 5. All boxes must be sold by Saturday, February 5th at midnight PST. If all 100 boxes can not be sold, the box pool becomes null and void, and all monies will be returned.
    Prizes:
    Prizes will be awarded to the owners of the boxes matching the scores at the end of each quarter, and distributed as follows: $5,000 for the 1st and 3rd quarter scores, $15,000 for the half time score and $25,000 for the final score.
    Also the final score winner will also win (courtesy of GridironFans.com):

    A $50.00 Gift Card To A Restaurant In Your Area From Restaurant.com!
    *Prize of equal value will be awarded if Restaurant.com restaurants are not available in winner's area.

    So good luck to everyone who jumps in on this!

    Final Standings:

    First Quarter Winner: Sportsguy9695 (14-0 Packers)
    Second Quarter Winner: PhilsEagles08 (21-10 Packers)
    Third Quarter Winner: Sportsguy9695 (21-17 Packers)
    Final Score Winner: Omen (31-25 Packers)

    Money sent SRW, give me

    72,63,54,45,36
     
  8. Bought 4 last night and just sent another donation for a couple more......

    I think we should limit 5 squares per person?
     
  10. Mr. D bought like 8 last night.....

    Well just my opinion, that way we can have 20 people play at 5 squares a piece, if it was real money sure buy as many as you want, but I think with the vcash we should have fair odds.

    Yes. Unless we need to fill some squares close to game time. Just refund Mr D's money.

    This way more people have a chance to play.

    Agree with Crowned and themush.

    Yes, like I said real money I'd be all for it because you pay more money for better odds, but not vcash. 5 per square then come close to gameday we can fill the last squares by giving everyone an opportunity to buy 1-2 more.
     
  15. I wouldn't be opposed to a 5 square limit. I originally was just going to buy four because I didn't want to be greedy.....but I certainly wasn't going to buy 8.

    5 a piece would give 20 members max a chance......

    Please remember to send me the squares you want when you reply to the confirmation. It's just easier for me to keep track that way. Thanks in advance to everyone who enters!

    Looks like some spots are going, so don't forget to send me your picks once I send the confirmation!

    Hopefully we can do this more and more heading into next year. Remember people, you can also submit stuff you'd like to bet on in the Sportsbook's request thread. You can create bets for almost anything with vBookie!
