It's Football Friday and the Super Bowl is only two days away! No matter how the game plays out, we can always count on a few things to make Super Bowl Sunday enjoyable: Commercials, snacks, and Box Pools! Since gambling is illegal, we decided to set up a free box pool with the half time winner and final score winner receiving a free ArmchairGM T-shirt!

Rules

  • First Come First Serve
  • ONE Box per registered user (double accounts will be monitored)
  • Box Numbers will be chosen shortly before kickoff
  • Half Time and Final Score winner receives the T-Shirt in requested size
  • 1st and 3rd quarter winners receives "The Gameplan" DVD

Instructions

  • Edit page
  • Find unclaimed box number, and sign your name -- ex: [[User:Pean|Pean]]
  • Eat lots of snacks
  • Enjoy the game!

Box Pool Rules

A 10 x 10 grid (table) is set up. Players pick boxes in the grid. All 100 boxes need to be picked. Once all boxes are picked, numbers zero through nine are randomly picked and placed above each column and to the left of each row in the grid. Winners are determined based on the scores at the end of each quarter of the game. Take the right most single digit of each team's score to determine which row and column to look in. For example, if the score was AFC team 20, NFC team 14, you would go down the column with the "0" above it, and across the row with the "4" to the left of it, to locate the winner for that score.

The Box

The ones digit of Giants score is the top row; the ones digit of the Patriots score is the left column.

Boxes!!! Yes!!! The best part about Super Bowl parties!! (after drinking, screamswearing, gambling, strippers, illicit drug usage, group sex and rampant mattress tag removals)

The people who have the least interest in the game usually win!

Hurray!!! I need another AGM shirt! Mine has little teeny holes in it (I think that's where my head and arms are supposed to go!) Are the shirts available in XXXL yet? =)

That's so "out of the box"! Technically it's rarely 'square', so the game is rightfully called Quadrilaterals.

Once the squares Quadrilaterals are filled in, you use a number generator (I like a deck of cards) to assign numbers 1-0 across the top and down the side.

If the final digits of the team scores equal your quadrilateral, you win.

For example if you have Giants 2 and Pats 7 and the final score is Giants 42 Patriots 27, you win. ( We all win really. :-) )

"He" is used for the sake of a pronoun. It equally applies to she.

It means a lot more if you're in a pool that pays every quarter. For example, in that case you want numbers like 7, 4, 3, 0 because as the game gets going you're more likely to see those numbers. 7-0, 10-7, 13-10, etc. By the end of the game, it could be anything. 28-10, 38-30, etc. Who knows?
