$10 - 125/250/125/500(final score)
$25 - 300/650/300/1250(final score)
$50 - 625/1250/625/2500(final score)
$200 - Pays on every score change & final score
Even though it didn't fill at $250 and I had to drop it to $125, the "every score change" board seemed to be mostly well received last year, so we're going to run it back. Only this year I'm dropping it to $200. If it doesn't fill, it'll either run with blank squares or again be cut in half - depending on how many sell.
Here's how this board works - 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 = $1200 per change
6-8 = $800
9-12 = $600
13-25 = $400
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 = 1.2k per change / 8.8k to the final
2 = 1.2k / 7.6k
3 = 1.2k / 6.4k
4 = 1.2k / 5.2k
5 = 1.2k / 4k
6 = 800 / 5.2k
7 = 800 / 4.4k
8 = 800 / 3.6k
9 = 600 / 4.6k
10 = 600 / 4k
11 = 600 / 3.4k
12 = 600 / 2.8k
13 = 400 / 4.8k
14 = 400 / 4.4k
15 = 400 / 4k
16 = 400 / 3.6k
17 = 400 / 3.2k
18 = 400 / 2.8k
19 = 400 / 2.4k
20 = 400 / 2k
21 = 400 / 1.6k
22 = 400 / 1.2k
23 = 400 / 800
24 = 400 / 400
25 = 400
Last year there were 13 score changes and the average has been about 14 over the past 10 years.
I'm sure there will be questions, so ask away.
Anyone is welcome to join but everyone needs to escrow. PM me for escrow info.

Notes - Don't expect payout right after the game. The plan will be to handle everything on Monday but I may get it taken care of Sunday night. Everyone sent in escrow last year and it made everything a lot easier on me so we'll do it the same way this year. EVERYONE WILL BE REQUIRED TO ESCROW. I mainly work with Paypal, Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App but I'll do my best to accommodate everyone. Even if it means having to work with someone else to facilitate it. If the $10 & $25 fill up fast I'll open another of each but there will only be one $50 board.
When sending escrow payments, make sure you're not using a "pay for goods or services" option that'll charge fees, and DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THE NOTES!!!

I know it's probably too late now, but I wonder if not having the Final score be weighted so heavy in the Score Change pool would help it fill? I was looking at last year's payout and while hitting a score change is nice, wow to that final score payout. Anyway, just a thought. I'll be up in it either way. At 14 score changes 800:8800 is a big difference.
Full list of names later today or tomorrow but here is an up to the minute count

I won't be making any changes for this year(other than possibly halving everything if needed) but I'll definitely look at it more next year. I can certainly make some adjustments. Would something like this look better to you?
Spoiler
1 = 10k per change / 10k to the final
2 = 5k / 10k
3 = 4k / 8k
4 = 3.5k / 6k
5 = 3k / 5k
6 = 2.5k / 5k
7 = 2.2k / 4.6k

13 = 1.3k / 3.1k
14 = 1.2k / 3.2k
15 = 1.1k / 3.5k
16 = 1.1k / 2.4k
17 = 1k / 3k

22 = 800 / 2.4k
23 = 800 / 1.6k
24 = 800 / 800
25 = 800
Actually, I may like that one better. See, this is the feedback I was asking for a couple of weeks ago. Where were you on that one, mark?
