So, what exactly is a "Super Bowl Grid?"

I had a great fundraiser idea today, but some people may not understand it. A Super Bowl Grid! And best of all, you need NO FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE to play!

So what is it, how does it work, and how do you join? All in good time, Grasshopper.

What is it? How does it work?


A Super Bowl Grid is a box with 100 available squares (some have less, but this one has 100). One team is listed across the top and one down the left side, and each row and column is randomly assigned a number from 0 to 9 after the grid is "filled" by entrants. Each entry buys you one box. At the end of each  quarter, the score of the teams playing determines the winning box. So if the score at the end of the first quarter is 7-10, the winning box would be 7 on the top, and 0 on the left side, or vice versa, depending on which team had which score. The prizes are $50 each for the 1st and 3rd quarters and $100 each for the 2nd and 4th quarters. Cash money. There is no skill to picking the boxes, because the numbers aren't assigned until AFTER all of the boxes are bought, but it makes watching the game a lot more fun!


How do you join?

Now that you know this is a NO SKILL INVOLVED game, I'm sure you are dying to buy 5 or 6 boxes on the grid, right? RIGHT?! Ok...at least one?

Go to the free grid hosting site I found. Pick which box you want by playing eeny meeny miney moe. Enter the information requested and use the password "3day" without the quotes. Send me $10 for each box you choose. for the math challenged, that's $10 for 1, $20 for 2, and so on).**CHANGE IN PLANS HERE!!** I have a 2nd team member now, so we will be splitting the proceeds from this fundraiser. We are asking that all entries come in the form of paypal to hokiegir1 (at) yahoo (dot) com, cash or check made out to me (or my team mate, if she sent you...) and we will pay prizes and then split the remainder. Please DO NOT send entry fees directly to our pages. If you have already done this, that's ok (there haven't been many). It's just easier on us to do it this way. Thanks!

The best part? If your numbers match more than one quarter, you WIN more than one quarter! You could potentially win all 4 prizes! 

If not all 100 boxes are sold by the time the coin is flipped at the start of the game, I'll assign numbers then, and Scooting Toward a Cure will be assigned all empty boxes...meaning, if an unsold box wins any quarter, that quarter's prize becomes a donation. In the (hopefully unlikely) event that less than half of the boxes get sold, I may have to reduce the prizes accordingly. So tell your friends to get as many sold as possible.

Once prizes are paid, the remaining entry fees go directly to the 3 Day. It's as simple as that!

Now, get to buying up those squares! You have some time, but the sooner it fills, the sooner you find out what numbers you have!
