    Ok, since the first one is now officially full, I thought I’d set up a second Super Bowl Squares BIF, since we still have a week to go, and I’m sure there are people who would still like to play. The rules are as follows.

    • Non-winners agree to ship a minimum of 44oz of rated 85 or better beer to one of the winners. Do your best to keep it to locals/wants/style preferences if at all possible.
    • Limit of 2 squares per person. If you select two squares, you will be required to ship out two separate boxes.
    • Digits will be randomly generated after all squares have been claimed.
    • Traditional Super Bowl squares format, with last the last digit of the AFC/NFC score at the end of every quarter, corresponding to those particular squares. (If score after first quarter is Denver -13 Seattle -7, winner would have box AFC 3/NFC 7)
    • Payouts will be 20/20/20/40, or in the event of overtime 15/20/15/20/30. This is a bit different than the other one, with the person who has the final score correct taking the biggest haul, and also accounts for the possibility of overtime, where the person who has the score of the 4th quarter winning as if it were another quarter.
    • Winners may choose not to send a box and receive one less, or still ship theirs to another winner, and receive their full payout.
    • If the pool does not fill up by Saturday, the first 50 (or 25 if 50 are not hit) claimed squares will double (or quadruple) their picks, with no additional wagering. Payouts will be scaled back.
    • Non-winners will have a winner assigned to them within a couple days after the Super Bowl, with shipping expected by Feb 21st at the latest (weather permitting).
    • I will be using footballpot.com. Please make your username as similar to your BA name as possible.

    To join, just BM me with your name, address, phone #, and email address.


    Good Luck!!!

    Quick update. We're at about 13-14 squares right now. Looking good to hit at least 50.

    Let me know when this closes - I will set up a third if needed. In the first this year and did one last year. Also - count me on in this one - getting another BiaB order in soon so the winner can expect a Loon :slight_smile:

    Yeah - I got left out of the first one too. Hopefully this one gains some momentum and we fill those squares!

    We've got 23 people who I have sent invites to, but only 17 have picked squares. Please let me know if you've sent me a BM but haven't gotten the email, and if you have received the invite, make sure you sign up and make sure your square(s) are picked and saved. I don't want anyone to miss out.

    Trying to avoid this pool...relatively unsuccessfully since I got 9 and 8 in version 1.0. Thinking I need more will power.
