https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wDNNXSgQ570fer_0YDdcE90pTyMycO3dwzLKEqC5DuA/edit#gid=2I am pleased to announce a Blonde Super Bowl XLIX Competition.
The rules are as follows:
1. Entry is open to everyone upon payment £10 entry fee to me. I will PM my bank details to everyone who has expressed even a remote interest. Payment must be received by me before 10pm on Sunday 1st February. If you are interested, please indicate below or PM me.
If anyone doesn't wish to risk £10 and just wants to play along for kudos that will be great - the more the merrier.
2. The competition will be run during this year's Super Bowl starting at 11:30pm (or thereabouts) on Sunday 1st February.
3. Each entrant will pick a 50/50 answer for each of the questions listed below.
The questions have been chosen so as to be a "coin flip" based on the best information available from the collected might of the British bookmaking industry so everyone has a fair chance to win.
An enormous amount of data can be found on the following site if you really want to take it seriously:
http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2015020100/2014/POST22/patriots@seahawks#menu=gameinfo&tab=preview4. There will be 5 points for each correct answer and zero points for each incorrect answer. In addition you must select one question as your "joker". This will score you 10 points if you are correct but -10 points if you are incorrect so choose carefully.

In the event of a tie, the person who gets the closest answer to the tie-break question will be deemed the winner.
5. I will be using statistics listed at NFL.com during/after the game for the purpose of deciding the result of each question.
6. Entries must be sent to me via PM by 10pm on Sunday. I will then make everyone's selections available via the spreadsheet by 11pm.
7. The winner will be the person who scores the most points.
8. My decision is final in all matters (until proven otherwise).
9. If you have any questions, please post below or PM me.
I will post the payout structure once I know the number of entrants. There is likely to be a token prize for last place.
Have fun.
