Welcome to NBA Block Pool Contest #7
Attention: Game rule revision
I will no longer carry forward prizes for unclaimed winning blocks. However, I will keep the new $1 SBD bonus for guessing the final score. Feedback is always welcomed, so don’t hesitate to leave me a comment.
**New Bonus Feature: **
Guess the correct final score of each team and win an additional $1 SBD
(Correct score can be within +/- 1 point or the exact score. Exact score will beat +/- 1 point in a tie)
Payout = 50% the SBD earnings + $1SBD
• 1st quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• 2nd quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• 3rd quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• Final score = 20% of the SBD earnings + $0.40 SBD
Game Rules:
- Each contestant picks 2 blocks that are not already claim (first come first serve)
- The first 10 contestants may select 4 blocks, after that you get 2 blocks. I will only count your first 2 blocks if you select 4 and are not the first 10 contestant.
- Guess the final score of each team for the new bonus feature for a chance to win an additional $1 SBD
- Upvote is appreciated but not required (the more upvote the higher the payout)
- Resteem is appreciate, but not required
- Deadline is Sunday 7:30 PM EST (March 25, 2018)
- Duplicate entries will not be valid so do your due diligence and check the replies if your block is already taken
- Payout will be transferred after post payout (winners will be notified)
Example Entry:

Warriors 128
Jazz 110
My Intro:
Hi, my name is Mello and I am part of team BeeYOU I had so much fun hosting Super Bowl LII Block Pool Contest that I want to host another. Rather than wait for football season to commence, I thought, “why not apply this to basketball?” It is a high scoring volatile game with some dramatic, memorable endings that will leave you breathless. Block pools are closely tied to the Super Bowl, but why not to the NBA All Star Games?
How to play the game:
There are 100 blocks available. After a block is selected, it is no longer available to the next player. Each player can pick 2 un-selected blocks. After all the blocks have been claimed, it is time to randomly assign the numbers 0-9 to each column and row heading using this website: https://draftkit.com/assets/pages/free-box-game-number-generator.html Each square represents the last digit of the cumulative score in the game based on the column and row numbers.
A winner will be determined at the end of the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, and final score which includes over-time if it applies. The winner is determined by looking at the last number in each team’s cumulative score, and then matching those numbers on the grid and seeing which square intersects those two numbers.
Here is an example of how you would win:
If the cumulative 1st quarter score for Warriors is 25, Jazz is 24. The last digit for the Warriors is 5, and the last digit for the Jazz is 4. The square on the grid that has Warriors with number 5 and Jazz with the number 4 will be the winner for the 1st quarter. You have 5 chances to win.
HAVE FUN AND BEST OF LUCK TO ALL

Did I win? I haven't seen the big payout so maybe you forgot! haha.. seriously did anyone win and do you plan on having this game during the week?
Ps can I invite others to play too? Would you you have enough squares for say 5 more players?
pps... I'm sensing a trend... I notice a lot of golden state warrior games... hmmm... I wonder if you are a fan?
ppps... I am a fan so I'm happy to see you have them each week!
Hey Dave. Nope, you didn't win yet, but I have a feeling your gravy train will arrive soon, haha. Sorry, I am a little late in posting the winners. I will do so shortly on MelloFello account. Yes, please invite more people to come play. We have room for 40 player and this game only filled 18 sports. Yes, I am a Warriors fan, but mostly because they are usually the last game of the night allowing for the most time for more entries. I was planning on switching it up though. Do you have any preferences? I know @smylie2005 does not like the Spurs, so I will not include those games.
haha.. I like them all, so don't go by me because you would be doing them all... lol
Its hard not to be a Warriors fan though, those guys are really awesome.. I can't believe how quick Curry can get that shot off with such deadly accuracy. And Durant is a stud!!!
I'm still waiting for the big one, don't let me down :P

Its about time, you've been slacking... haha... seriously doesn't your head spin trying to turn these around? You are doing a good job but I was hoping for another golden state game... I like to see Curry and Durant light it up! Knicks Sixers boring without Ewing and Barkley
