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.
There were 10 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

hey Bids, would you mind going to random.org and entering all the words from my previous post then pm them to mark with a time stamp?
Let the complaining begin!
LOL @ RED
thanks for running!
my $125 squares look better than my $50 squares so that’s always a good start
I spent several seconds of my life using a website to randomize a list not once, but TWICE, and this is the thanks I get?
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?
simply an attempt at word play
empty squares

7-4. Man I'm running hot.
Curses!
The placement of names checks out again on the $125 board.
Does TD + XP count as one or two score changes?
$25 #2 - 15 left
What's the payout on the $125 board?
I had mixed emotions when I saw 2-2. A big part of me felt bad for you, but a small part was giggling like a schoolgirl.
That's not the worst of it. I actually popped a 2-2 for halftime (I think) on a $25 board (I think) a few years back.
On this $125 board:
In addition to 2-2 I got a couple of other ties:
1-1
5-5
On a brighter note I did pop a couple of 7s:
7-5
5-7
And the lonesome but much desired:
1-5
Is this like Costco where I can return all items for a full refund with no questions asked?
# of score changes
1-5 = $1500 per change
6-8 = $1000
9-12 = $750
13-25 = $500
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 = 1500 per change / 11000 to the final
2 = 1500 / 9500
3 = 1500 / 8000
4 = 1500 / 6500
5 = 1500 / 5000
6 = 1000 / 6500
7 = 1000 / 5500
8 = 1000 / 4500
9 = 750 / 5750
10 = 750 / 5000
11 = 750 / 4250
12 = 750 / 3500
13 = 500 / 6000
14 = 500 / 5500
15 = 500 / 5000
16 = 500 / 4500
17 = 500 / 4000
18 = 500 / 3500
19 = 500 / 3000
20 = 500 / 2500
21 = 500 / 2000
22 = 500 / 1500
23 = 500 / 1000
24 = 500 / 500
25 = 500
I see a clean sweep for bucky in the $125:
0-0 after 1, and 2, and 3, and then KC wins 7-6 for final!!!
Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
Edit: what in the wide wide world of sports is agoin' on?
I'm from S GA and confused. I've got 0-0 and 6-7, what has to happen for me to win???
