$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.
Thanks, as always, for running this. Posting to verify paypal is still the same?
I like that payscale a lot better. I thought I'd posted my thoughts in the other thread, but upon further review, I did not. Oops.
5-$10
4-$25
4-$50
2-$200
Cool, I'll do:
5 x 10 = 50
2 x 25 = 50
2 x 50 = 100
1 x 200 = 200
$400 total just shipped
I will do:
5 x 10 = 50
3 x 25 = 75
2 x 50 = 100
$225 on its way
5 x $10
4 x $25
2 x $50
$250 total, just sent
We ran a $50/square pool that paid every score change at my bar for the last 30 years (yeah, we should make it more for inflation). Square 0-0 won $50 to start the game. After that it was $100/score change. $250 for the 1st and 3rd quarter. $500 for halftime. Residual for the final. Final would usually be between 2-3K plus whatever they hit to get there. Food for thought for future pools.
4 x 25
2 x 50

No, no, no. You send it to someone else and let them get it to the right person.
Oh wait, that's the way #thinman does it. Lol
