Feeling down and out because your team didn't make it to the playoffs? Or, maybe your team checked out in the 1st round and now you're out of the race for the prize money. Well, worry not! Here at the Sagebrush Cactus Sportsbook, we have just the game for you: Championship Game Squares.
It's simple to play - if you can choose your name from a drop-down list, you can enter this contest. Seriously, I can't make it any easier than that.
If you've ever participated in Super Bowl Squares around your office or at someone's party, then you already know how to play. But in case you're one of those weirdos that has no friends, here's how it works.
You'll see a 10x10 grid with each team listed on one of the axis. Choose any square(s) you want and select your name from the drop-down list to claim it. Once the grid is filled, we'll draw numbers 0-9 and enter them into the cells with a "?" next to each team. As the Championship Game progresses, winners will be determined by looking at the last number in each teams' score at the specified intervals, and then matching those with the grid to see which square intersects those two numbers.
For example if your cell intersects at 9 for Team A and 3 for Team B, and the score after Saturday's NFL game is complete is Team A: 19 and Team B: 23, you would win the prize for that interval.
If you've played Super Bowl Squares before, you probably know that having the 2|2 or 9|8 squares are some of the worst possible. Not in fantasy squares. In fantasy football, every square has the same odds of winning since 0's, 3's, and 7's aren't any more common than 2's, 5's, or 8's.
Here are a few important details about this game:
This contest only applies to the Sagebrush Cactus Championship Game and is open to members in either league. Please do not invite people from outside of our leagues.
The two teams that make it to the SCL Championship Game are not eligible to participate in this contest. If you enter your name in this contest and your team makes it, your square(s) will be released and opened up for others to take.
Teams that make it to the Segundo Championship Game are eligible to play.
Each square is $2 and you can buy as many as you like.
New for this year, there are 2 prizes. They will be awarded at the conclusion of NFL play on the days listed below:
Halftime (Sat, 12/30): $75
Final Score (Sun, 12/31): $125
IMPORTANT: Please note that this is being hosted in Google Docs so I need you all to be careful when choosing your squares. Please DO NOT change anything on the doc other than selecting your name on a square. Also, please DO NOT change a square that has already been selected or edit any info already in a square.
So, what are you waiting for? It's not like you're in the Championship Game. Go ahead and smash that red button below and pick your squares.
Best of luck!
