Super Bowl Squares Pool for Chip Collectors - Contest Over/Winners Announced

I'm one of those types that hates to leave ambiguities, so full rules are below. But the basic way this will work is that you send me a $1 casino chip and you can purchase a square in a Super Bowl pool. Post here what chips you'll be sending me (no more than 5 of the same chip will be accepted for entries) and I'll let you know once I have the chips. Then you can pick your square. You can enter up to five times (if we still have squares left come mid-January, I'll let you enter more).

Winners then get to select the chips and I'll cover the shipping to the winners.
Final score winner gets 50 chips of his/her choice
Half-time score winner gets 30 chips of his/her choice
1st and 3rd quarter score winner gets 10 chips of his/her choice

If I missed anything, let me know!

I will scan the chips as they come in and add them to this thread.




















Full Rules:
  1. Cost to enter the pool is one current $1 house chip (slightly used condition, approximate value $1)
  2. You may enter more than once.
  3. If you intend to enter, please post in this thread which chips you will be using as entry chips. No more than 5 of the same chips will be accepted (to give the winners some diversity).
  4. Entry fee chips must be sent in advance to E. Wejroch, Post Office Box 316, Dearborn Heights, MI 48127. Please include your name, mailing address and email address.
  5. Once I receive your entry fee chips, I will send you an email and you will be able to select your square(s) from those that remain. Each square is as good as the rest until numbers are assigned.
  6. After all 100 squares are selected, I will randomly assign numbers to the NFC columns and AFC rows (AFC will run on the Y axis (vertical), NFC on the X axis (horizontal) -- remember that rows and columns will be unassigned until all squares are selected).
  7. After the numbers are assigned, I will publish the pool sheet. Once the teams are determined, I will update the pool sheet.
  8. The square with the correct score at the end of the game (only the last digit is relevant) will win 50 chips of his/her choice for all the entry chips selected.
    1. For example, if your square is AFC 4 and NFC 0, you will win if the AFC's score at the end of the game is 4, 14, 24, 34, etc *and* the NFC's score is 0,10, 20, 30, etc.
    2. It does matter who wins, just what the final score is.
  9. The square with the correct score at the end of the first half will win 30 chip of his/her choice from all the chips remaining.
  10. The square with the correct score at the end of the first quarter will win 10 chips of his/her choice from all the chips remaining.
  11. The square with the correct score at the end of the third quarter will win the remaining 10 chips.
  12. If you win, I will send you an email and advise you to pick your chips. You have 24 hours to choose your chips. If you don't respond to that email, I will go to the next winner and give them the opportunity to choose their chips. If you haven't replied by the time all other winners have selected their chips, I will pick your chips for you at random.
  13. I will cover the postage to send the winners their chips.

Re: Super Bowl Squares Pool

Wedge, if you consider Casino Windsor $1s as being in good enough condition for this contest, I'll enter one so my husband can join the pool.

Yep, its fine. Consider it accepted. You can give it to me ftf instead of mailing it.

But stop pretending its for Michael. What's he gonna do if he wins 50 casino chips, other than give them to you...?

Re: Super Bowl Squares Pool

Yeah, you can send them (see Rule #4 for the address -- please include your Chiptalk name, return address (in case you win) and your email address). The sooner I get them, the sooner you get the nod to pick your squares... there's no real advantage to picking early, since the numbers won't be assigned until the grid is filled, but We've only got about a month until the Super Bowl, so better to get moving early, right?
