How do you set up a Super Bowl Box pool? Great question. Follow these directions and you’re all set!
1. Print out the SuperBowlBoxes.com box pool spreadsheet below.
Excel File or PDF File
2. Get people to purchase each box for whatever amount of money you want. When a box is purchased, write in the name of the person who purchased each box. Do not sell the numbers in the row directly below “AFC” or the column directly to the right of “NFC”. You will need these spaces blank for later.
3. Once all the boxes are purchased and filled in, take a piece of paper and write the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 individually and spaced evenly apart on the paper.
4. With scissors, cut each number out evenly into separate pieces.
5. Take each cut out number and fold them so you cannot see the number.
6. Put each folded number into a hat or box. Choose someone at random to pick each number one by one.
7. Before you pick your numbers out, flip a coin to decide which set of numbers you will fill first; AFC or NFC.
8. After deciding which NFL Division to pull first, start pulling the numbers.
9. When a number is pulled, write the number in the first box under the NFL Division you are starting with. As each number is pulled, write each number in the box in line with the row or column one after the other.
10. Once all the numbers are filled, your Super Bowl Box Pool is complete and each person who purchased boxes can now see what numbers they need to get to win.
How to set up the winnings:
There are a few ways your players can win with this type of Super Bowl Box Pool. They are the following:
1. The 4 Quarter Plan. This plan has 4 payouts. This plan pays the winner whose name falls under the final scores of the 1st Quarter, Half Time, 3rd Quarter and the Final tally.
For example, if the score at the end of the 1st Quarter is 17 AFC vs 10 NFC, then the person whose name falls under “7″ AFC and “0″ NFC wins that payout.
The same goes for the Half Time score, the score at the end of the 3rd Quarter and final score at the end of the game.
2. First Score & 2 Payout Plan. This plan has 3 different payouts. This plan pays out the winner whose name falls under the two numbers corresponding to the score after the first team score, then the Half Time score and then the Final Score.
For expample, if the AFC team scores first with a field goal worth 3 points, then the first score would be 3 AFC vs 0 NFC. The person whose name falls under “3″ AFC and “0″ NFC would receive the first payout.
