The contest will go something like this: Choose what you think will be the final combined total score of both teams regardless of who won the game.
The winner will be the member who guesses the correct combined total score of both teams.
Enter your guess like this example: Denver 24 Panthers 27 = 51
51 being the winning guess in this example. Enter it in this way because if a member is exactly correct? There will be a bonus prize awarded. Also in the event of certain tie scenarios it will help decide the winner if that does indeed happen.
Some rules.
1. In the event of a tie, the member who entered the correct guess first by time stamp will be the winner.
2. If no member guesses the exact correct score. The member with the closest guess first by time stamp will be the winner, if there's a tie here as well? The same rules apply as above.
3. Members that already have a premium membership may still enter. The prize will be 1000 points instead. All other rules apply the same.
4. There will be a bonus of 300 points if the winning member guesses the score exactly, that's why you must enter your guess as the scores of both teams with a winner and the total of both teams. Another example:
Denver Broncos 17- Carolina Panthers 24 = 41
5. You may enter by posting your guess here in this forum so we can all keep track and view who the winner is I'm thinking. Remember? In the event of a tie, the member with the earliest time stamped correct guess will be the winner!
6. Betting is open now and will end on February 7th@ 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. No entries will be excepted after this time.
7. One entry per membership ONLY! If we discover you have multiple memberships with the same IP. You will be disqualified.
8. If some of these rules seem confusing? Or have any suggestions that may improve the game? Feel free to pm us anytime
Good Luck! Have Fun !!
Ps: here's a link to the of last years forum post to use as an example of how it went last year.

My guess it will be someone who lives outside of the United States and has very little knowledge about the sports played here. That's sick ( wink, wink ), see what can happen when you place a good guess!
Honestly, though...it's an honor just to have been nominated.
Maybe the 100 countries and the TV deals don't stretch as far south as Adelaide or maybe there's no indoor plumbing, TV's or electricity there.
Only 6 more days, get your guess in!
fingers crossed
Good luck, I'm going to cross my fingers and hope you win!
I would personally like to see the money donated anonymously to a charity.
Here's my suggestion for all interested non U.S. members that might like to get involved, JUST MAKE A GUESS! Big9 has provided you with the names of the teams playing so just pick some numbers. You have heard of lotteries, no? You tell the clerk/agent numbers you want to play then cross your fingers.
This is the second time that you've expressed to Big9 that you would like to see money anonymously donated to a charitable organization. I have a suggestion for you, you hold a contest OR forgo your premium paid membership for a period of 1 month and donate $ 15.00 to the charity of your choice.
Broncos-23
Total=38
Thank you for doing this. Great fun and so generous of you!
