Rules

Many of you know this popular game. For the beginners, read this good introduction
http://www.fantasysharks.com/Articles/SquaresGame.htm

POOL FORMAT
This is a "Squares Pool", the 10 by 10 grid type of pool where you select
square(s) until the grid is full. When the pool is closed, random numbers from
0 to 9 are filled in the row and column headers. The row and column header for
your square represent your numbers.

GAME
Superbowl XL
February 5th, 2006
Played in Detroit, Michigan
6:00 p.m. EST on ABC

NUMBERS
Upon closing the pool, random numbers will be generated by the website to fill
the row and column headers of the grid. Your numbers are those represented by
the row and column of your square(s). When the pool is closed (all squares are
filled), the web site will randomly generate the pool numbers. At that time,
each pool member will be sent an email notifying them which numbers they drew.
Once the pool is closed no more picks can be made and the numbers cannot be changed.

MAXIMUM SQUARES
You may pick up to 5 squares.

SQUARE COST
5 for each square, payable to the pool manager.

WINNERS AND PRIZES
Winning this pool is determined by the last digit in the score of both teams.
If the score is 17-10 (Seahawks-Steelers) then the person with 7 for the
Seahawks and 0 for the Steelers wins. Similarly, the same person would win if
the score were 7-20, 27-30, 17-0, etc.
1st Quarter: 100
2nd Quarter: 100
3rd Quarter: 100
4th Quarter: 100
Final Score: 100

(This means if the game ends at end of 4th quarter, that winner gets 200. If
game goes into overtime, there is a 5th winner with the final score)

All prizes shall be awarded by the pool manager.

TOTAL POT
500
