Are you ready for some Football!!!
It’s time to get your name on our annual Superbowl Candy Pool – just send me a note or email telling me what your favorite candy bar is and you’ll be entered. If you’d like, you can send me a couple of choices; in
the event you are a lucky winner of multiple candy bars, you can have a variety. I’ll accept emails or comments on one of the blogs that I’ve posted this on (Live from Wherever or the Cottle Family Blog) – as long as I have your name and your choice of candy bar(s). We hope there will b
e lots of winners; last year we had eleven different people winning a total of eighteen candy bars. Like last year we’re including the extra points as winning scores. Anyone can play, young and old. So get your choices in early. As soon as we have the grid complete, we’ll send everyone a copy so you’ll have it for the game.
The fine print:
No submission of candy bars is required! All winning candy bars come from Kristin and me as a reward for participating in our pool.
Deadline for submission is noon on Friday, February 1st.
Each participant will be assigned at least one square representing possible scores. Based on participation we will use the traditional 10 by 10 hundred square grid or a smaller 5 by 5 grid. If the later is the case, two numbers will be assigned to each column and two numbers assigned to each row. Scores for the squares and square assignments will be made randomly. Every score change is worth a candy bar, regardless of how many times the score has changed during the quarter, and the extra point after a touch down does count as a score change. The score at the end of each quarter is worth an extra candy bar. The score at the end of the game is also worth an extra candy bars. So those who have the score at the end of each quarter will win at least 2 candy bars (maybe more, depending on the quarter and what else has happened during that quarter).
For example, if New York scores first, say a field goal, the score would be 3-0 New York. The person that has the square representing that score wins a candy bar. Then suppose New England scores a touchdown, making the score 6-3 New England: the person that has that score wins a candy bar. Then New England kicks the extra point, so then the person that has the 7-3 New England score wins a candy bar. If the first quarter then ends, that person (who has the 7-3 New England score) wins another candy bar.

For your connivence, we have only listed American chocolate bars, although everyone knows Canada's selection is much better
Kathy Miller--snickers, three Muskateers
I agree with Randy--there some awfully good Canadian chocolate bars, but I like these American ones as well. Can't wait to hit paydirt--or chocolate dirt as the case may be. Do I have to make any predictions about anything?
Thanks, Randal. Things like Big Turks and Smarties (the Canadian version) are often very hard to come by down here.
Kathy, no predictions. You just win if your score combination actually becomes reality. We'll send the grid out and everyone can yell and cheer for the field goal or the touchdown or the extra point that will turn the score their way...
I like playing this game, because no matter who you want to win, or whether they are winning or losing, you have something fun to look forward to: A score change, and someone winning a candy bar. So just hope for a high scoring game.
Snickers, MUNCH and anything Resses (Peanut Butter Cups, etc)
