It sounded like there was some interest in a OAG "Ordinary Average Guy" Superbowl Squares Contest.

There will be one winner per quarter of the game. The winner will be determined by the last digits of the score at the end of each quarter. For example, if NFC has 21 and AFC has 28 then the square that intersects with the 1 on the NFC side and the 8 on the AFC side is the winner.

The buy in will be five cigars = (five squares). No more than five squares per participant, so that there is room for all who want in. If, at 6:00 PM on January 31st, there are still empty squares then they're up for grabs to whoever would like them.

If there are still empty squares at noon ET on game day, then they will be assigned as follows... Everyone who's already in play will have their name thrown in a hat, once for each fiver they put up. In other words, if you put up 1 fiver, then your name will go in 1 times. If you bought 2 fivers , then your name goes in 2 times. Names will be drawn and assigned to the empty squares from left to right, top to bottom. These extra squares will not increase the pot size, nor obligate anyone to more cigars than they already put up.

Please select 5 numbers for your 5 cigars they can be viewed here:

Prior to game time, post the list of cigars that you will be betting. Cigars are to be within the $5-$10 range, using CI or Cigar.com, Famous box pricing. Please post list of cigars your betting with your numbers if at all possible. PLEASE  DO NOT SEND CIGARS TO ME. You will ship them out to the winners explained below

Once all the squares are filled I will use a random number generator, the columns and rows will be numbered.

After the game is over, the winners will choose their 5 pack cigars in the round robin style format. They will be choosing in the same groups of five that were bet by the others. The order of the choosing will be final score, 3rd quarter, 2nd quarter, 1st quarter. The winners will not have to put their bets in the pot for others to choose. Simply put, the pot will consist of just the cigars put up by the losers. The exception to this is if you buy ten squares but only win one quarter. Then you will have to put five cigars in the pot. You're free to choose your own cigars, but they will count as one of your picks.

Once all of the choosing is done, the losers will ship the cigars (5 packs) to the winner that chose them. Clarification if you lose you will only be sending the 5 cigars you bet to the winner who choose your 5 pack.  

In order to participate you must have a feedback rating of 2, and at least 100 points. If you believe you warrant an exception then please PM me.

Good Luck Everyone

Yes if you don't mind... just pick a slot of 5 spaces and put your name and cigars.  This will be used for the winners to pick from.


Brian and Mike you are both welcome back  :biggrin: but if you win this year  :dukem:  :puncher:  :angry:  :biggrin:
