Attention: Game rule revision

I will no longer carry forward prizes for unclaimed winning blocks. However, I will keep the new $1 SBD bonus for guessing the final score. Feedback is always welcomed, so don’t hesitate to leave me a comment.

**New Bonus Feature: **

Guess the correct final score of each team and win an additional $1 SBD
(Correct score can be within +/- 1 point or the exact score. Exact score will beat +/- 1 point in a tie)

Payout = 50% the SBD earnings + $1SBD

• 1st quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• 2nd quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• 3rd quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• Final score = 20% of the SBD earnings + $0.40 SBD

Game Rules:

1. Each contestant picks 2 blocks that are not already claim (first come first serve)
2. The first 10 contestants may select 4 blocks; after that you get 2 blocks. I will only count your first 2 blocks if you select 4 and are not the first 10 contestants.
3. Guess the final score of each team for the new bonus feature for a chance to win an additional $1 SBD
4. Upvote is appreciated but not required (the more upvote the higher the payout)
5. Resteem is appreciate, but not required
6. Deadline is Sunday 6:00 PM EST (March 28, 2018)
7. Duplicate entries will not be valid so do your due diligence and check the replies if your block is already taken

My Intro:

Hi, my name is Mello and I am part of team BeeYOU I had so much fun hosting Super Bowl LII Block Pool Contest that I want to host another. Rather than wait for football season to commence, I thought, “why not apply this to basketball?” It is a high scoring volatile game with some dramatic, memorable endings that will leave you breathless. Block pools are closely tied to the Super Bowl, but why not to the NBA All Star Games?

How to play the game:

There are 100 blocks available. After a block is selected, it is no longer available to the next player. Each player can pick 2 un-selected blocks. After all the blocks have been claimed, it is time to randomly assign the numbers 0-9 to each column and row heading using this website: https://draftkit.com/assets/pages/free-box-game-number-generator.html Each square represents the last digit of the cumulative score in the game based on the column and row numbers.

A winner will be determined at the end of the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, and final score which includes over-time if it applies. The winner is determined by looking at the last number in each team’s cumulative score, and then matching those numbers on the grid and seeing which square intersects those two numbers.

Here is an example of how you would win:

If the cumulative 1st quarter score for Knicks is 25, 76ers is 24. The last digit for the Knicks is 5, and the last digit for the 76ers is 4. The square on the grid that has Knicks with number 5 and 76ers with the number 4 will be the winner for the 1st quarter. You have 5 chances to win.

HAVE FUN AND BEST OF LUCK TO ALL
