I'm in. Almost missed it. Had no idea it was super bowl already. Not a sports person at all.
We currently have 62 players with up to 98 squares covered, so we still have room for up to 38 more players.
Don't be shy, jump in the pool - the water's fine.

I didn't say before, but I can cover 2 squares if needed.

I'm happy to say that we have enough seconds to cover all 100 squares, but we still have room for up to 37 more players, so don't hesitate to jump in.

Put me in too. This will take someone out of volunteering for two, but I will do it.
This is my first time also.
This is my first time also.
We have 66 players, so still room for more. We will have a full grid though. Thanks to all of you who have signed up for seconds. Once we close signups, second squares will be assigned in order of your signup for them.
Since my trip to Hawaii has been delayed, I'm still in Texas, so I will extend the signup time until 10 am Central time tomorrow.
I do need 2 or 3 volunteers to help with randomizing the grid layout. It will only take a few minutes of your time, but it ensures that I can't cheat when generating the grid. Post in this thread or send me a PM if you are willing to randomize some numbers for me.

Thanks to those of you who offered to help with the randomization.
Here's how it will work:
Each of us has a number (or two) from 1-100 based on the order of signup.
The 100 squares of the grid will be allocated either by row or by column (based on a coin flip) in an order determined by randomizing 1-100.
Then the numbers 0-9 are randomized twice to produce the column and row numbers.
Finally another coin flip determines which team gets the columns and which gets the rows.
One person is randomizing 1-100, another is doing the two 0-9 randomizations, and another is doing the two coin flips.
I have used this method for several years and it seems to work well, but if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

I will take a second square if you need help filling the sheet.
OK folks - I have the randomized numbers and I thank the volunteers who helped with that task.
I will generate the grid later today and post it this evening.
Although the posted deadline has passed, I will accept signups until I generate the grid this evening. So, if you would like to play, please sign up right away.

You just made it, Jeb. I'm starting the grid layout now.
SIGNUPS ARE NOW CLOSED.
The grid will be posted shortly. Thanks to all who have signed up and to those who helped randomize the grid.

Here are our 68 players in order of signup and the first 32 who volunteered for a second square. Your name(s) will be inserted into the grid per the randomized layout of the grid.

Ok, am I missing something, I don't see the grid
There's a gametime thread with the grid
2020 Super Bowl Pool - Game Time!
Here is the grid for Sunday's game. Let the trash talk and wailing begin .... UPDATE: The original grid that I posted had two mistakes. The updated grid below is the one we will use (unless someone points out another mistake before game time). 1. I misspelled Cwalker935 - but he does have the...

I was looking to see if this was happening again this year, but I can't find a post. Did I miss it?
What's another year of sending away blanks?
What's another year of sending away blanks?
I am unable to host it this year & no one else stepped up to volunteer, so we will be skipping it this year. Interest in the pool & football in general has waned the last couple of years. I was barely able to get enough players to fill out the chart last year.

Thanks, Edgar. It has been a tough year. Hey, at least we have the rest of the Bash!
Maybe someday I will be around enough to volunteer more.
Challenging times.
