Beat the Prick Outta’ His Last Dime Squares Pool
Beat the Prick Outta’ His Last Dime Squares Pool
The Prick has a little cash leftover from the Beat the Prick contest and has graciously decided to donate it towards a simple squares pool for the upcoming big NFL Championship game on Feb 3. The rules are simple, as long as you haven’t been living under a rock your entire life and never have come across a squares pool before. And the entry fee is even easier to understand than the rules since there is no entry fee.
PAYOUT & ENTRY
1. Total Purse: $1,000 USD
1a. $150 per quarter (right way score), $150 for final (right way score)
1b. $50 per quarter (wrong way score), $50 for final (wrong way score)
2. Entry Fee: $0 USD
HOW TO ENTER
Starting Wednesday, Jan 23, at 9:00 a.m. (ET), SBR members with 250+ posts can sign up for one square and one square only. The order in which we receive the signup posts will determine where they are located on the sheet. For example, if you’re the first to sign up, you will get the top-left square, the second signup will get the square to the right of #1, and so on and so on.
If any squares are left 24 hours later, beginning at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on Thursday, Jan 24, we will accept entries from posters with 100+ posts. And if any remain at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on Friday, Jan 25, we will take posters with 50+ posts.
Once we have the 100 entries and have them assigned to the 100 open squares, The Prick will draw the numbers for the pool with New England across the top and New York down the side, and a link posted both in Players Talk and the NFL Forum to view the sheet.
THE FINE PRINT
1. Must be 18 or older to enter contest.
2. One entry per household; one entry per IP.
3. SBR Employees and members of their family are prohibited from entering.
4. On Monday, Feb 4, 2008, we will PM winners to get mailing addresses and names for the winning checks.

I see a couple posters under 250 already hitting the board pretty hard, maybe that caused the recent outage. Very generous to give more money away.

Nah, we'll start a sign-up thread in the morning. This is just your basic announcement thread.

cool deal, i won 2 quarters last year at my local watering hole for 50 bucks each, and i won the year the Ravens won on 2 quarters at another bar for 50 bucks. i got some friends that work at Ford, they have one every year for 500 bucks a square, i ain't ever forked out that kind of money for a square, i stick to the $2-5 squares, i'm po' like that.
but this sounds cool. I always like the word "FREE".
