We're back for another year, but with an added option.
In addition to the usual pools...
$10 - 125/250/125/500(final score)
$25 - 300/650/300/1250(final score)
$50 - 625/1250/625/2500(final score)
I'm also adding a $250 board that pays at every score change. Here's how that's going to work - every time points go on the board, somebody wins. If a field goal is the first score, whoever has 3-0 wins. If the next score is a touchdown by the other team, 3-6 wins. When the extra point gets kicked, 3-7 wins. Easy enough? Good. The end of quarters or halftime don't matter in this pool. Final score does. Whoever has the final score right will be the big winner. Instead of having one set amount for each score change, or a set amount for the final score winner, and risking a high or low scoring game taking away from the spirit of this pool, I'm going with a sliding scale.
# of score changes
1-5 = 3k per change
6-8 = 2k
9-12 = 1.5k
13-25 = 1k
25+ = everything split evenly
Here it is broken all the way down
Score changes - Amount per score change / Amount to final winner(in addition to the money from the final score change)
1 = 3k per change / 22k to the final
2 = 3k / 19k
3 = 3k / 16k
4 = 3k / 13k
5 = 3k / 10k
6 = 2k / 13k
7 = 2k / 11k
8 = 2k / 9k
9 = 1.5k / 11.5k
10 = 1.5k / 10k
11 = 1.5k / 8.5k
12 = 1.5k / 7k
13 = 1k / 12k
14 = 1k / 11k
15 = 1k / 10k
16 = 1k / 9k
17 = 1k / 8k
18 = 1k / 7k
19 = 1k / 6k
20 = 1k / 5k
21 = 1k / 4k
22 = 1k / 3k
23 = 1k / 2k
24 = 1k / 1k
25 = 1k
Last year there were 21 score changes I believe, and that was the most in at least 12-15 years. One recent year(2018?) there were only 5, but that was the only one with less than 10. The average has been around 14-15 so that's how I came up with this pay scale.
I'm sure there will be questions, so ask away.
Received. Appreciate you!
what a haul by ninjagnome, three different sets of numbers
I messaged all the winners to confirm how they want to be paid, and sent to the ones I've already heard back from. Hopefully I'll have everything else wrapped up by tomorrow.
Can't wait to get 5-2 next year and get nowhere close to winning. Thanks for running, ec.
Received, thanks again ec_!
Rcv'd, thanks again ec.
Next year I would be in favor of Tom getting to pick 2 numbers and randomize all else..
received...thanks ec!
Received, thanks ec!
…I know this is OOT, and this topic is verboten,
but you big winners should really break off a tip for ec setting this up, running it, and disbursing funds honorably and promptly.
Received my $1800 for the $50 pool
Received, thanks ec!

While I appreciate the thought, I have no complaints. Between the squares bought for me and the tips given by winners afterwards, people have been more than fair to me over the years. Even the "winners" who hit but still lost money on the whole deal. Honestly, I'd run this whether I received tips or not. I don't know of anywhere else on 2p2 running these every year, so I'm just doing a small part to contribute to the community. Everyone has been appreciative and respectful. That's all I ask for. Anything over and above that is a bonus. Cheesy, I know. But it's the truth.

They're mine! Errybody keep your grimy hands off my numbers!

I'm not speaking for anyone else and wasn't able to participate this year, but I tipped last year when I escrowed. I think others are being very generous.
and thanks ec for running this again.
Thanks a bunch ec! Received and no issues as always. Super fun sweats. Can’t wait til next year.
received, ty for running
obv can't complain about results as i ran like god, but what are the odds of getting a 7-7 on an every score change square and hitting none
Also thanks for running from us losers, ec. Even though I wasn't within shouting distance of a win, it was fun to have something to care about.
Spoiler
My voice isn't very loud. Shouting distance isn't as far as most people. But still.
Thanks for running it again EC, you’re the best! Congratulations to all winners!
