Payouts are as
follows (based on a $10,000 pool if sold out):
10% of the pool will be set aside for a charitable contribution, supporting the
Anthony Wayne High School Music Program. (actual donated contribution will be larger, approximately
$1500, to compensate for tax write-off benefit)
9%
of pot for 1st Quarter final score ($900 if squares
are sold out)
9%
of pot for 2nd Quarter final score
9%
of pot for 3rd Quarter final score
9%
of pot for 4th Quarter final score (not including overtime)
9%
of pot for final score of game
*if
there is no OT, then 4th qtr gets 18% of the pot!!!
Balance
of pot (45%) is divided by number of score changes. Thus, every time the score changes, there is
a winner. For example, NFC team scores a
touchdown, the score is 6-0 = payout. extra point, now the score is 7-0 = payout. Every score change pays $$$ plus zero to zero
at beginning of the game. So, if you
draw (0,0) as your number, you're a guaranteed
winner. In the event all squares are not
purchased and winning square is blank the following applies: Quarterly winner
and game final winner blanks will be contributed to 'balance of pot' for score
change payouts. Score change winner will not be included in total score
changes. Sound confusing? It is, so
let's buy up all the squares!!!
How To Sign Up:
Below is a link to the google doc I will be using for folks to sign up. Please be mindful if it shows others editing a given cell (don't overwrite). If needed, I will use the revision history to help me determine if someone had a square reserved and was inadvertently overwritten.
Please use your real name so I know who is signing up.
How The Numbers Will Be Drawn:
Step 1:
Picking the teams. On Friday before the game, I will look at the closing price
of the S&P 500. If the last digit is odd (the single cents digit), the AFC
team will be on the left side (representing the pool's rows). If the last digit
is even, the NFC team will be on the left side. (Ex.
If the S&P 500 closed at 1501.90, the the NFC team
would have been on the left side).
Step 2:
Picking the numbers for the rows. I will use the following site to generate the
numbers from top to bottom for the rows: http://www.random.org/sequences/?mode=advanced. I
will use the closing price of the DOW on Friday before the game to seed the
persistent identifier field and generate a random list of numbers
between 0 and 9 (top to bottom). The value will be entered to two decimal
places without the decimal point (Ex. 1046.78 would be entered as 104678)
Step 3:
Picking the numbers for the columns (left to right). I will use the same method
as in step 2. However, I will use the closing price of the NASDAQ the Friday before
the game to seed the persistent identifier field.
Other Notes:

Good Luck,
