Super Bowl LVII

Here is the link to our Super Bowl Squares:

Sorry for the annoying ads; once I've had enough of them I'll plunk down the cash to make them go away. Please scroll down past those and you'll see the 10x10 grid. 

Once they are all filed, we will schedule a zoom call to let the random number generator do its thing. (so you don't think that I am just hitting it over and over until I get 0-0 or some other "good" number. :) 

Prices and payouts are as follows: 
  • Entry fee is $5 per square payable to Wally 
  • $5 to whoever has the matching score (units digit) at the end of each minute between 14 and 1. ($280 total) 
    • So if you match at the start of the quarter, that doesn't count.
    • It refers to the score when the :00 is on the clock. So if the score is 3-3, the Chiefs start a play with 9:02 on the clock and score, and the clock then stops with 8:55 on it, then we are recording the 9:00 winner as the 3-3 person. 
    • There will therefore be 56 winners of $5 prizes 
  • $55 to the person with the correct score at the end of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters
    • ($5 for having the correct score at 0:00 + $50 bonus) ($165 total) 
  • $55 to the person with the correct score at the end of the game.
    • If the game is tied after four quarters, there is no 4th quarter payout, nor will there be any payout for the minute marks of overtime.
    • It is impossible to plan for this in advance and OT in the Super Bowl has only once gone to overtime. (Sorry Falcons fans). 
    • The $55 goes to the person with the correct score after OT
Our Super Bowl matchup is here- please add your trash talk and comments below.

It was a rough weekend for last week's leader Jose (and many others of us who had Buffalo or San Francisco winning the Super Bowl. But it was a great weekend for Wally, who is in the money regardless of what happens- although I have a guess who he is rooting for.

Andy and Jay K are almost guaranteed a payout- unless Gil can mess up their plans.  Here are more details about how we will finish if the Eagles or Chiefs win:

Philadelphia wins
For some reason, nobody took the top seed in the NFC to win the Super Bowl. So if the Eagles win- and they're favored- then it all comes down to the tiebreaker to determine 1st through 3rd places.
  • Andy has 50 or fewer points, Wally has 53 or more points, and if they finish at 51 or 52 then Jay either wins outright or shares it will Wally.
Kansas City wins
Only two people picked the Chiefs: Wally (of course) and Gil.  
  • They will finish first and second, respectively.  Third place will come down to points: Andy (50 or below) or Jay (51 or more) points.
