| K10 | Rules: 1. Forum members may select a maximum of two squares. 2. A payout of 25 posting points is made to the winner of each quarter. The winner is the one whose square aligns with the last digits of the teams score in the quarter. For example, if team A has 24 pts, and team B, 10; then the winner of the quarter is the one who selected the square that lines up with "4" for team A, and "0" for team B. 3. For the person with the square that coincides with the final game score using rule 2, the payout will be 50 posting points rather than 25. The exception would be in the event that the game is decided in overtime. Should that occur, the 4th quarter is treated like any other and the final score will win the extra 25 points.
4. A total of 125 posting points are available to be won, if all squares are taken. One person can win more than one quarter. 5. Square buying opens Noon (EST) Jan. 29. It closes Noon. Feb. 5. (The Superbowl is Sunday Feb. 6.) First come, first served. Posting date and time determines priority. Please check the updated board after you’ve selected to make sure your selection was not taken. You will not be notified if someone has already selected your square(s). You may need to choose one or more squares if yours were taken. 6. Unsold squares become voided squares and do not payout anything to anyone.

Everyone give Lint a hand for going thru the trouble to put this together. I think it will be a fun thing for us to do and something that we can enjoy.
I also want to invite Admin to participate in this along with the members and Mods.
Lint, it looks great! Thank you for doing this for us!

Great idea Lint.  Win valuable posting points while enjoying the game! Can't beat that for fun. Well except for a visit from the twins. You need someone to draw the numbers for the top and side bars before the opening of the board for square selection, who isn't going to take part and can be trusted. That person will have to pass the numbers to Lint to put on the board after it has sold out or just after the board closes. I would volunteer if it weren't for that darn "trusted" word.  Better still, Emmo, send the twins to join me at the back of the bus. If they know their numbers from 0 - 9, they could confirm that I haven't messed with the order in which they were drawn. I promise not to mess with the numbers. It is cold and lonely back here. Could use a little, uh, intellectual conversation with some nice gals.

Speaking of the "Twins" I left there picture in my IM on the other board and lost it, thought I down loaded it to my hard drive but can't find it. So if anyone has it, and I know quite a few do please IM me with it......

It's well known that Canadians have a reputation for pinching pennies so hard that they turn them into dimes. (Llike Superman would squeeze Kingsford Charcoal Bricketts and turn it into a diamonds.) I think that we will leave the number choosing up too Dave our honest and trusted moderator. If we let you anywhere near the results....I am afraid that we all might be left standing at the border watching the tail lights of the bus as they disappear into Canada....along with the money, the chicks and anything else we may have stashed under the seat cushions.

Hi... How do members submit their box choices ?Honest Dave... Dave... Starting after noon Saturday, all a guy has too do is post thier choices on this thread. Something like: "Gimme box A6 and C9." Just go thru the previous threads to make sure that your numbers arent already spoken for. I will try and edit the "sheet" daily and fill in the names in the appropriate squares. That should make things a little easier...but it's still up too the chooser too check the posts to make sure the square is available. If its not available, just edit your post or post a new one, with a different choice.

buttlint,
You mean you don't trust me with something more valuable than Yankee dollars: those valuable posting points? You done hurt my feelings.  . Heck you can't even hold-up a bank or corner store to get them. Have to earn them the old way; work for them, or post a lot of nonsensical hair care product reviews. Well, now I can pick a couple of squares and join in, which is great. Let's see, a quarter win and the final score win will give me 75 points US. At the current exchange rate of 1.98 X 10**2 that gives me 14850 points Canadian to add to my total for a grand total of about 22,000. OHHH YEAH! I'll be ahead of Marshall and in first place as top poster for at least 5 days until he catches up. Well that makes it all worthwhile. I'm in. Anyone think that if we sell out on this one quick we start a second board with a Dave drawing a different score order, which would only be open to those who didn't get on the first one. Say it doesn't sell out 4 hours before closing time, it would then be open to everyone (including those who already picked). Sort of an incentive to get in on the game early and offer a possible bonus for the early takers. What do you folks think? PS: I checked the bus thoroughly and there were lots of beer caps, the label off a Pri-G bottle (Bobby was on that trip), Paulas back hair trimmer (I'll send it back to her as soon as she tells me where she lives and I've finished trimming the hedge with it ) and some more of that Brady Bunch girl's "Marsha II" monogrammed ladies undergarments. Just stuffed them in the seat to help pad it, so some unknown mod need not be concerned.

You guys are right! I wrote the rules......I should be able too do anything I want! (Actually Windy wrote the rules ......but lets not assign blame until this thing is over.) I take A-2 and B-3. I am giving A-2 too "wrecked".......aka....Chris. And B-3 too Chaz....aka.... Charlie. I think these guys deserve it .....simply because they had the grapes too step up and join in with thier first couple of posts. (Our kind of people!) If anybody has a problem with that....TFB! |

Hey, nothing like a gal in a sealskin tanned with her own spit and beluga whale oil to really turn a man on. Yup, that is gonna be one fine show. Hope ABC, CBS, NBC, or Spike TV pick it up so you can watch down there.
