OK here is my attempt to get this going. First it goes by (5-packs). A 5 pack gets you 5 squares that you choose on a google doc.
When all squares are full I will lock it out. A random digit calculator will be used to generate the top row and left column. so top row may be (i am using it now) 3,5,4,7,9,2,8,0,1,6 and the column may be 4,0,8,5,3,2,6,9,1,7.
There can be a maximum of 20 participants. I will chose my squares last. You can do one entry on a first come first choose basis until Thursday night. After that you may submit another until it is filled.
Payout. 5 packs will be numbered and using a random number generator with numbers from 1 to 20 distributed to the winners. Final score winner will receive the first 8 drawn, then one each to Q1, Q2, and Q3 in that order until all the booty is distributed:
Q1 (4)(5 packs) Q2 (4) (5 packs) Q3 (4) (5 packs)
Final Score (8) (5 packs)
Finally I will post whose 5 packs go where and you can send them directly.
The value of the cigars you put in should be in the $6 to $10 range with the total value being no less than $40.
I am going to ask you to paste a pic of your 5 pack on the second page of the sheet. If you can't then email the pic to me and i'll post it. No need to post the particulars but if you lose please write down the info for the recipient.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1neU-X2E16IbZG-ZpelaWM_Kki58C5fFLnnSTGN1oPqc/edit?usp=sharing is the address for the sheet. I will leave my info as an exemplar until this gets going, if you want a square with my name on it just type over it..
If there are any questions let me know.

Will get my picture posted in the next couple days.
I'd like to play, but I would not be able to post pics of my 5pk until after the game, and more than likely not until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. If that is acceptable to you Chris, count me in. Perhaps mine can be a mystery 5pk on purpose. I can promise that it will be a nice 5pk, and it ties in with the kick off of my pass...kick off, pass...hmmm... :biggrin:

Thank you brother Chris!! I promise my 5pk shall not disappoint!...I do work in a cigar shop, and have backstock at home!! :biggrin:
Pic uploaded. Thanks for letting me play.
Humpday :bump:
I'll do another 5er if needed.
Picture Added. :biggrin:
I'll jump in - thanks for running this.
how close are we to filling this up???
Quotenirab - 2/1/2018 11:33 AM how close are we to filling this up???
From what I see we are at 60 squares taken. I would be good for another 5 it helps
Quotenirab - 2/1/2018 10:33 AM how close are we to filling this up???
Looking at the doc, there are 55 squares taken, 45 left to take. I don't know if there are any claimed spots or anything...

OK this has been open long enough. If anyone wants to put in for another 5 go ahead. There is room for another 8 5packs.

Sweet, I'm in for another 5
Im in for another 5, but have to go to the store first... lol
I am in for another 5
I'll do another 5 as well. Would be nice to fill this up...COME ON PEOPLE!!!!
I'm in
20 squares left
I haven't been able to get my second 5 entered, work network doesn't like google sheets.
Question: Do winners still need to mail a 5 pack (and draw the 4 or 8 pack prize), or can we agree that the first pick for each winner is automatically their own 5 pack? Seems silly if a winner still had to mail out a prize
That's how it's been done in the past, not sure if thats how Chris is doing it though

I think you'd still have to mail out a 5'er. I would want to try other's offerings, but that is just me.
From Chris' post "Finally I will post whose 5 packs go where and you can send them directly."

You're still getting 3 other 5'ers per square won.
15 squares left (three 5'ers)
:bump: to fill this for Chris
We need to decide ahead of time on the empty squares in case this doesn't fill up.
I've seen this:
1st Qtr empty square - Prize goes to next quarter with a winner
2nd, 3rd, Final - Prize goes back to last quarter with a winner.
All empty squares for the whole game - Everybody keeps their bets :biggrin:
This is just an idea, but Chris its your pool, just let us know how you are handling this.
Thanks again for throwing this together

Are you going to pick your squares?
Hey gents, long time no post. My brother the Penguin said you still needed a few squares filled. I'll get in for 5 in that case! Out and about and on my phone right now but will pick squares and post a pic later today if that's ok with everyone. I won a quarter about 4 years ago, so maybe my mojo is good :-)

Hey Nick glad to see ya back.
Hurry and get in on this I could use a few smokes from ya LOL :lmao:
I like Bruce's idea if we have empty squares. That way we can do this regardless and looks like we shouldn't have many empty.
How about this...We have 15 5-packs in addition to mine in the pool. I will fill 1 additional space for each guy with a 5-pack. Essentially a 5-pack bought 6 spaces..

Ha! Yeah I'm pretty much donating if you look at the odds, but for me it makes an otherwise not so interesting game a bit more interesting. After my Vikes got throttled last week I'm looking for motivation to watch closely!
Here's a link to my sticks: https://photos.app.goo.gl/B3fDqnHsoj2tMBiO2
PS: My brother literally just texted me and said he'll get in for 5 too. He's planning to jump on this afternoon to post. Guess he wants to share some of the bounty from his fantasy football win lol...
I just went into the spreadsheet and am only seeing 3 squares open?
Edit: it's 4 open... I'll put my name in em, but there should be 5 right?
Edit 2: Now all squares are gone and I couldn't add my name. Just lemme know if my 5er is needed (and Adam's). If not, totally cool.
OK this is now closed. The blue names are the extra picks I put in. Also to make the prizes work I put in the last 3. I am now going to run the generator to put in the numbers.
Sorry Indy/adam didn't see your post til after i was done. If any of the guys with blue spots wants to give up their extra square I am happy to add you in.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_DMM8Gz74ZHa2O4RbEkxM4U589dwUifi/view?usp=sharing is the pdf of the squares
Fly Eagles Fly
Thanks for setting this up Chris
Good Luck All :thumbsup:
I'd give up my blue spots. Might as well get more guys in.
Ok so the situation is there's 15 blue squares. If we get one more person interested, me, Adam, and that person would cover all the blues. But hey, if it's too late and all set now, like I said it's no big deal. I'll just check back before the game tomorrow. You saw a pic of my 5er and you know Adam is good for a real nice one but totally cool either way geeks...
Problem I see is the numbers are already chosen as I see it.
I do think Chris gave ample time for everyone to get signed up.
Just my opinion and I am good any way this plays out.
Thanks Chris for setting this up.Let the fun begin.Go Pats.
OK I'm going to let adam and Indy in. I will use the random generator numbers 1 to 15 to assign blue names to adam and indy then repost the grid.
