$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.

I ended up with 7 squares in $10 #1. I don't need that many. If anyone missed out on that one and wants a few I'll be happy to switch a few of mine to your name.
Also, I'm still holding out hope for the $200 board but I think the writing is on the wall. My backup plan was always to drop it to $100 and double everyone's squares. I'm going to start messaging people tomorrow and making sure they're aware of my plan and giving them the chance to back out or make any changes. I won't make the switch till late in the week but I want to get a jumpstart on the process. The sports betting thread has $100 and $250 boards going so that's playing a part. There are only so many posters and $$$ to go around.
i'm fine with your plan for the $200 board. thanks again for all of this ec_
Same.
1x $200
2x 50
I am ok with whatever you come up with on the $200
Pmt sent.
At $100 I will likely participate in the board.
Splitting up the 200 is ok with me if need be
I'm going to be tied up for the next 5 hours or so. If the last four squares for $25 #1 get claimed feel free to start the $25 #2 list. With the $50s about gone I think this second $25 board will fill before the end of the week.
ETA: thank you to the people chiming in about the $200 board. Saves me some time not having to pm so many people and wait on replies.
good with whatever happens with the $200 board
will also take 1 more if needed to help it fill
I'm ok with whatever you choose for the $200
I'm good with the $200 borad split and I've got a few more bullets to fire on the smaller boards if need be.
Spoiler
absolutely fine with 4x100 instead of 2x200
I'm fine with whatever you decide on the $200 pool.
I've already mentioned I'm good with the split. Won't be interested in getting additional squares with that being the case.
2x 50 entries
1 x 200 entries
Thank you for running!
