[ORS]

I have 1-7, 9-8, 8-0 Pitt. Not bad, but I think I have absolutely no shot at the first quarter.

True, but the bigger prizes are latter anyways.

As for the members who entered the contest only to be banned, circumvented, and then reinstated, I'm sorry about this if you were looking forward to this contest. It's closed and there's little we can do about it. If time passes and we all get along great, I'll run a contest solely for those who missed out on this.

Have any of the ones which you unbanned elected to come back? Or have they decided to keep their distance away from the site.

Some expressed interest earlier. It's only been about an hour since I sent out emails. Only time will tell.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Can someone explain to me how I get into this?

[YanksHater213]

I dont think you can, but if its allowed I'll donate you one of my squares since I have 3.

[Soxfan1]

You can probably hve the carryover bonus too.

Unfortunately, that will not be allowed. It wouldn't be fair to the banned / reinstated members, and User Name. The plan to adjust the grid allotment was due to my desire to include as many members, versus the possibility of hitting 50 at that point. If I had waited ( and not used the option of 37, the most reasonable compromise number ), we would be at 43. This would include the reinstated members, User Name, and Youk of the Nation. When coupled with the fact that I had PMed just about any one with 10 posts ( with the exception of Youk of the Nation, sorry Youk I didn't think you had any interest, since you hadn't entered any of these type of contests ) and that I would have closed the entries by Thursday, the odds of hitting 50 would have been remote. My delima was close the contest at 37 and make an additional 12 members eligible or risk and fail and have 18 members eliminated. I think the course of action I took was reasonable for the majority of the members. BTW, I did make a quick survey via PM before I took the action to close the entries. As you should know bu now, there will be other contests from Yeszir, myself, or both.

[YAZMAN]

Put me in if there's still room.

It is too late to enter. But I know there will be an upcoming contest for all people who missed out on this one.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

After you click on it click the image again to zoom in on it, many browsers compress it to fit in their screen.

[RedRuffing15]

WOw..I just realized if the score is 27-14, a very possible score, I'd win in the grid and the total points lol

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I have done all I can to make adjustments for this "original" Super Bowl Grid and the Bonus Grid contests. They are now both closed. But some adjustments were made. The carryover/ bonus square has been eliminated. It is now filled by me ( square 8 & 6 ). This means there be a distinct winner for each prize. In addition, the rest of the 36 members of this board will get a square in the " Bonus Super Bowl Grid " see : http://www.talksox.com/forum/showthread.php?p=114220#post114220

 

We ended up with 53 different members in the grids. Which I think is great. The breakout is :

 

First 25 Entries : Get four squares ( 3 in Original & 1 in the Bonus grid, I'm the exception, I have 4 in the original & none in the Bonus ). Thus they're entered in two grids with almost twice the prizes.

 

The next 12 Entries : get 3 squares ( 2 in Original & 1 in the Bonus grid ). Thus they're entered in two grids with almost twice the prizes.That said, here is the revised grid ( the only thing that has changed is I, SFoC now has the former extra square) :

 

The next 16 Entries : get 4 squares all in the Bonus grid.

 

 

If you look at scenarios:

 

--One, the original grid was ended, 12 members would have been eliminated, and the 25 would get 4 squares with about half the prizes. Or what I did, and had all were included with 3 squares for the 25, 2 squares for the 12 ( half the prizes now ). Then create a second Grid ( the Bonus ). Unfortunately, these members faced a strong chance of not reaching the required 20, as this grid was at 16. Under the rules this grid would have been cancelled.

 

--Two, I let the original contest run and the same amount of members entered ( 53 ). This would mean 3 members eliminated and the other 50 would have 2 squares and half the prizes.

 

 

So I think its obvious that the current solution ( although not perfect ) is the most equitable.

 

 

Here is the adjusted grid :
