Football Contest For Cigars

**597** · 01-15-2009, 09:39 PM

Ok I realize that I have a ton of cigars in my cooler, and need to make room for some purchases. So I decided to have a contest. The Contest Will involve this week's AFC Championship Game in Pittsburg. The game is on Sunday at I believe 6:30pm with the RAVENS v. STEELERS

Each participant in the contest must have 100 posts by 1/18/2009 and be a well established member of the forum. (it is at my discretion if there is any question concerning your established record on the board). All posts must be made by 1/18/2009 at 5:45pm, 45 mins prior to the scheduled kick off. Each member is allowed ONLY 2 posts, and they must occur on different calendar days.

1. First you must pick the Winner: Ravens or Steelers

2. Then the Total Score:

3. Each Team's Score:

4. How many interceptions the Ravens will get (ie takeaways from Steelers):

5. How many times Flaco will be sacked:

6. How many yards of Passing Roethlisberger will get:

The winner will be the person who chooses the winner of the game, and the closest total score. The above questions will come in to play for tie breakers as the order they are written above. I plan on giving away 2 prizes, 1 for first place, and 1 for second place. If I'm felling generous and the Ravens win I may throw in a 3rd place winner prize.

So here goes nothing, and good luck.

(all questions, decision or determinations and interpretations of rules are at my discretion)

Having grown up in N. Ohio and as a Browns fan, I can only hope that some how both teams manage to loose

. That being said best of luck to everyone in the contest.

I think the Steelers will win, and I'll be rooting for them. But what the hell, everyone else thinks the Steelers are gonna win and that can't be a good sign.

I was born in Columbus, and am a lifelong Browns fan, so I kind of agree with FactoredReality, in that I'd really like them both to lose.

So the results....

1. Steelers
2. Total Score 37
3. Score Ravens 14, Steelers 23
4. Interceptions: 0
5. Flaco Sacks: 3
5. Yards 255

In the process of determining the winner...

**597** · 01-18-2009, 11:04 PM

So the top three contestants chose the Steelers and were all within 1 point of the total score (above or below)

The parties are:

Slcraiders, BDurrani, and Jfellows.

The tie breaker was question 3 for first place: I calculated it by seeing how many points off you were from each teams actual score and adding it up.

The tie breaker for 2nd was question 4, the number of interceptions (Slcraiders was over by 1, BDurrani was over by 2).

The Placements are as follows:

1st: Jfellows
2nd: Slcraiders
3rd: BDurrani

You will all be receiving a package of cigars, please PM your address.
