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.

Shipping now.
I regret to announce that the names seem to have fallen into their allotted slots for:
$10 #1
$25 #1
$50
$10 #2
I demand a redraw! It's gotta be in some rule book somewhere that the numbers are supposed to be randomized by someone different for each list. Or some other something that requires a redraw.
Down to 20ish $25s left.
Also, the $250 board will get set tonight and run as a $125 with everyone getting double the squares they signed up for. I know everyone can do the math, but I'll also post a new payout schedule for that one. Maybe a little overly ambitious going for a $250 board. Or maybe it was just butting heads with the other one in sports betting.
I will take two from $25 #2

Possibly should have tried out the new format at a lower rate the first year and see how it was received before going big? I like it though.
Double the squares just means I can get 7-0 and 4-0 going the opposite way and I'm golden.
Time to do the $125 board. Anyone around to help with the numbers? I'm getting ready to randomize the names list, send it to Tom Ames, and fill in the board. After I do that, I'll ask for the sets of numbers.

please remind me how we decided to handle empty squares
i'm familiar with the accounting of blank stares authored by falcon fans after 28 of them berated dan quinn for three bad decisions
but still have no idea how these men solve the riddle of a good quarterback

We don't. At least not this time. Instead of selling 72 squares and having 28 blank squares, I'm only taking the first 50 who signed up. Everyone is getting double the squares they signed up for but the prize pool has been cut in half. But all the squares will be full.
Edit: or did I misunderstand your question?

I'm ready for two randomized lists of numbers, 0-9, if anyone is available. First list will be the Chiefs on the left side of the board, then the 49ers across the top.

Unpossible to misunderstand RED whose name derives from his constant state of crystal clarity.
