Super Bowl Pool

Rules

Grid of 10×10 matrix with 100 total boxes (numbers and teams not assigned until grid is filled or the day of the big game – which ever comes first).  $20 puts your name in one box, $40 in two… etc…

As with the regular season pool, 50% of the proceeds will go to Rotary as a fundraising project.  Empty (unsold) boxes, if there are any, will be labeled “Rotary”, with winnings on these boxes getting pushed until the next quarter UNLESS, the final game ending prize is a “Rotary” win, in which case the prize will go to Rotary.   

Prizes will be based on percentages of dollars (based on boxes sold).  Below prize dollar estimates assume sell out of 100 boxes.  Actual prizes based on the percentage of proceeds.

Prizes  Percentage*     Dollars (If Sold Out)
Q1      12.5%           $125
Half     25%              $250 
Q3      12.5%           $125
Final+  50%              $500

* Percentage of available prize money (50/50 fundraiser).
+ Final prize based on Final score (if game goes into overtime tie score at end of Q4 is NOT the winner, but FINAL game score is the winner of the prize marked “Final”).

Once the boxes are sold (or the day of the game if any remain unsold) the numbers from “0-9” will be randomly  drawn from a hat to complete first the top row, then again for the side row.  The NFC team will be listed on the “NFC” axis and the AFC team on the “AFC” axis.

Because this is random, there is absolutely NO SKILL required to play.  If you know nothing about football your chances are just as good as John Madden’s.

Winners will be based on who’s box falls at the corresponding field in the matrix whether or not your boxes numbers match the last digit of each teams score at the end of each period of play.  The last digit of the score is the number that matters.  As an example, if the score at the end of the first quarter is Team A =7 and Team B = 14 then the person with Team A = 7 and Team B = 4 wins the prize for the first quarter (14 ends in 4).  If at the end of the half the score is Team A = 17 and Team B = 24 (that person would win again since they still have 7 for team A and 4 for Team B (24 ends in 4 and 17 ends in 7).

Winning box determined based on last digits of score
 
Examples:
Pittsburg 7 Seattle 12  —> look-up Pittsburg “7” Seattle “4”
Pittsburg 30 Seattle  —> look-up Pittsburg “0” Seattle “3”
Pittsburg 20 Seattle 30 —> look-up Pittsburg “0” Seattle “0”

The matrix will be posted online prior to the start of the game and sent out by email so you can see if you win.

On Valentines Day 2019, Martha Kegerise of Marthas Singles in Newtown, PA spoke to the club on Does Cupid Still Exist in Todays World?  A traditional matchmaker originally from Brooklyn, Martha founded her company in 2011 to help encourage and match up single and divorced people.

Some of Marthas advice:

For women: let the man pay. Dont try to be his mother. 
For men: be responsible. Get a good haircut. Ask a woman out, and keep trying. Men used to send a drink to someone at a bar. Weve lost some of those niceties. Show interest.
For everyone: look! Lock eyes with the person you desire. Dont look away. Show that youre interested1
Appearance matters. Dont wear sweat pants everywhere. You have to get attention first, and you need to look your best to get attention. You can meet people everywhere.
Talk! People cant hear the sound of your voice in a computer. Call, talk, and get together. Dont get involved in long, drawn-out texting over months. Get together in person in the first couple of weeks.

There were some pretty funny moments that may not be politically correct to mention here, but Martha was very entertaining. Martha brought Valentines gifts for everyone, and it was a rollicking Valentines Day meeting.

Our engaging speaker today was Scott Needham, the owner of Princeton Air Conditioning in Princeton Junction, NJ. He explained the newest technology in Geothermal Systems. We learned that the Earth can provide energy in both the heating and cooling cycle. It can also heat hot water in the summertime.

The advantages are profound. Beyond the obvious benefit of eliminating fossil fuel emissions, it is very cost effective over time. The Internal Rate of Return is very favorable. People who are conscious of the environment and take a long term view, it make sense. Until 2022, there are substantial tax credits available.

It was a very interesting presentation.

It was a pleasure presenting to such a welcoming group of people. You have a great club! Also wonderful to see so many old friends.

I have friends in Sweden who heat and cool their house from pipes buried in the earth. That in Sweden!
