    Default Superbowl Squares Competition ($ PAID LEAGUE $) [SOLD OUT]


    (Now this shit is official, I have a cool logo like Pascal)

    Same basic concept as Pascal's free league.

    - $10 per square, 2 square minimum.
    - Buy-in due the day of the Superbowl
    - You can buy up to 10 squares ($100)
    - Can escrow via Stars, Tilt, or Paypal
    - Anyone can play, this means you

    If you want to play, reply saying you are IN. This will put you on the list. However you will not be confirmed until you send your money. Once your money is sent, we will confirm and bold you on the list. You are now officially a cool kid.

    To Play:

    1) Reply saying you're in and how many squares (if you don't say an amount you will default to 2 for $20).
    2) Ship $20-$100 via one of the below methods:

    PokerStars: swanseaj
    Full Tilt Poker: Pascal Lefiscal
    PayPal: email removed. [NOTE: If you send money via Paypal, make sure you select Personal > Gift]

    3) Tell us you shipped the money, we will confirm and update the list.


    MAKE SURE YOU TELL US WHO THE HELL YOU ARE.

    If your forum name is bigred you need to let us know what your Tilt/Stars username is, or the e-mail you sent money via Paypal. If you don't want this information public, you can PM me.

    Details and How to Win

    Each square costs $10. To participate you must purchase a minimum of 2 for $20, and can purchase up to 10 for $100. This will make the total prize pool $1,000.

    Once all 100 squares are purchased, the final list will be placed in random order. Your name will appear on this list for as many squares as you purchased.

    Example

    Pascal
    givememyleg
    givememyleg
    a500lbgorilla
    bigred
    etc.

    We will then use http://www.random.org/sequences/ to assign each name a number.

    Example

    81 Pascal
    64 givememyleg
    52 givememyleg
    55 a500lbgorilla
    43 bigred
    etc.

    This number will be your square on the grid.

    The numbers along the x and y axis of the grid will also be randomly selected using http://www.random.org/sequences/ by SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME so yal don't think I'm cheating.

    So we will end up with something like below:


    (Note this is not the official grid)

    So based on this example, the numbers we would have are

    Example

    Pascal: 1,3
    givememyleg 2,2
    givememyleg 5,4
    a500lbgorilla 2,0
    bigred 9,8

    Prizes

    If your numbers match the ending number of each team, you will win

    1st Quarter: $125
    2nd Quarter: $250
    3rd Quarter: $125
    4th Quarter: $500

    Winners

    If you win, we can discuss a method that is most convenient for you and the escrow. Since there may be shuffling issues (money spread across Stars, Tilt, Paypal), it may take a few days after the Superbowl to receive your coin. You will be contacted via PM.

    If We Don't Sell Out

    Obviously the prize pool will be less depending on how many squares were sold. For example, let's say we sell 60 squares, that leaves 40 remaining, for a prize pool of $600. Prizes would then be:

    Q1: $75
    Q2: $150
    Q3: $75
    Q4: $300

    The 40 squares that are leftover will be randomly given out in a lottery. However many squares you purchased is how many entries you will have in the lottery.

    Maybe I should add a tl;dr at the end. $10 per square, 2 minimum, 4 maximum. Everything is selected at random, the numbers by me and the y/x axis by someone else.

    worst case scenerio: those who bought in, buy-in for their proper % share of the prize pool. Essentially the same as if it were to sell out. No big deal yo.

    Two weeks of an online course has made me something of an expert in game theory.

    We'll puzzle something out.

    There's prolly a better way to do it than this idea:
    Closest wins. If two people tie, chop it.

    ATM there are 22 squares allocated. Each square would become worth 4 squares - so anyone who has bought 4 squares actually gets 16 squares.

    That then leaves 12 squares left over. Every square purchase is allocated a random number from 1-22 and the first 12 numbers drawn out a hat get an additional square.

    Agree with random allocation of extra squares. Whatever makes it work.

    Also, if it helps with numbers, lift the cap and I'd buy a couple extra (e.g. 3 more and we'd be at 25 which is a nice number)

    okay, that is how it will be then.

    and yeah, number of squares you can purchase increased to 10. who wants to gamboool?
  34. #34
    i guess i underestimated how hard it would be to get 25 people on a poker forum to gambool for $40?

    Can you accept skrill? If not then maybe I can send skrill to a trusted FTR member and that person can send you stars/tilt?

    If so then I'm in for $40.

    if 11 people from ftr all bought 5 squares this would be sold out - wtf guys, we're a poker forum, let's gambooooool !
  41. #41
    some input requested. for prizes i originally said Q4 wins $500 - should we change that to final score in case there is OT? or just award Q4 based on that score, and just ignore OT?

    i think changing it to final score is sexier, but not sure what everyone else thinks?

    also 51 left, gogo.
  42. #42
    Def final score inc OT
  43. #43
    hm on second thought that might not be fair? if you have a paired number, such as 0,0 you can never win the $500. def need to stick with Q4 score i guess and ignore OT.
  44. #44
    4 for me. 4 for a friend. I'm gonna try to find someone that will send u PS for my MB. If not then I will send u the $80 on paypal by saturday night.

    why couldn't you win with a score of 30 to 20? or 20 to 10, etc?

    its the 2nd digit that counts, right?

    yes. but how could you end with a score of 30 to 20 or 20 to 10 in OT?
