RULE UPDATE

I posted this in the Superbowl Pool Information thread, but I want to post it in this thread also.

One special rule that I need to mention: If the game is tied at the end of the 4th quarter, causing the game to go into overtime, the FINAL SCORE of the game will be used to determine the winner of "Quarter 4" rather than the tie score at the end of the 4th quarter.

Challenge thrown out to any willing to participate...

I posted this on Edgar's other thread but wanted to include it here.

I'm not sure what is going on here??? Every time that I see football pool brought up, my name gets drug into the picture. Now I see Karl_99 has a new rule he wants passed. In the spirit of giving back to IAP that would be a fine rule... but considering that I retired last school year my income has been cut in 1/2 so the postage would be cost prohibitive to me.

Now on the other hand in the spirit of the game, I will offer a different challenge. During the 2015 contest I won two quarters back to back(2nd & 3rd quarters/blanks that I won are in the picture below). My challenge is this--can you tie my record? Can you win two quarters in this Superbowl contest? If so, I will send this winner a very nice box of goodies besides the normal blanks that I will need to send to the winners. I will even make it easier on you, I won my blanks in back to back quarters. You only need to win two quarters, they do not have to be back to back...

Do not let the chair bother you...I had to add a little more security measures to my home security after the blanks started coming in.

Sign-ups below on this thread
LIMITED TO THE FIRST 99 PEOPLE TO SIGN UP BELOW….PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE EXPLANATION FIRST SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION….PM ME WITH ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS.​

Here's your chance to win a few pen blanks from your closest IAP friends! ANYONE CAN WIN! There is absolutely no cost or previous experience required other than a desire to have some fun. Signing up is simple….just respond in this Superbowl thread that you want in !!!!!!

- Trashtalkin' is encouraged……
- International members are encouraged to play as well even though you play funny football
- Do NOT sign up if you are not willing to ship internationally.
- Previous winners are required to play to give everyone a chance to get their blanks back, especially Billy (Sataro) :)

**For those who unfamiliar with football pools, here's an explanation of how it works…

IT'S VERY SIMPLE...

The BLANK grid is broken up into 100 squares (10 across by 10 high). Entrant's names are randomly drawn and placed into random squares. AFTER all the names are placed, numbers 0-9 are randomly drawn and placed across the top along with the name of one team, and again along the side in no particular order for the other team, somewhat like a scrambled multiplication table. At the end of the first quarter, if the score is 7 – 3, you go across the top to 7 for team A, then down the side to 3 for team B. Where that column and row intersect is the square with the winner's name. Only the last number of the score is used; ex. 21-14 would be square 1 and square 4.

Here are the rules
- Cost to play is zero other than a few blanks that you have laying around your shop and the cost of postage.
- Sign-ups will close when we reach 100 names. Limit 1 square per person
- Extra squares will be allowed only after everyone has had a chance to join in and there are still empty ones.
- Once we have everyone signed up, names will be randomly picked from a hat and assigned to a square on the grid. Your personal square is yours for the entire game and enables you to win as an individual in any of the 4quarters.
- Once all names have been assigned, another random drawing will take place to determine the numbers across the top and side.
- The entire grid is broken into 4 colors, each representing a different quarter of the game. The winner of each quarter will receive 4-5 blanks fro each of the people whose names appear in that particular color. History has shown that we have some very generous folks here.
- In the event that there is a scoreless quarter, the winner from the previous quarter will be carried over and win blanks from that group as well. It is possible that you could win pen blanks from 50 different people, or more!
- The completed grid will be posted prior to game day.
- We ask that all participants mail their blanks to the winners within 1 week of the end of the game or make arrangements with their winner. Having to chase or remind people to send their blanks is uncomfortable and awkward. Deadbeats WILL be publicly shamed.
- All winners are asked to post pictures of their winnings so the rest of us can drool




IMPORTANT NOTICES: IAP RULES
- In order to participate your public profile must contain your first name, place of residence and you must be readily available via PM or email.
- Only registered members are able to view this information.
- If you haven't followed through in a previous activity, don't enter this one. Mike Redburn will be checking entrants and will disqualify anyone who has failed to complete a previous activity.
