Both glasses and coasters customized with your choice of big game, name, etc. AND a solid maple 9x12, juice grooved cutting board customized with the above shared options!

<Rules Place holder>

  • Entry Fee: Minimum $25 donation towards your choice of Wildlife Organization. (Honor system)
  • Tie-breaker*: For each game presented for your entry, you will place your winning team name AND your projection of the total points for the game. If you chose the actual winning team, the difference from your projected points and the actual points will be accounted (+ / -) on my super awesome (wife created) excel spreadsheet. This is to determine tie-breaker winners.
  • Tie breaker exception: DSnow9's last place win: Fewest wins is the winner. If tied, the player with the lowest difference in projected vs actual points from the correctly chosen losers wins last place.
  • In your Jan 11-13 Wild Card submission, add the name of the wildlife organization and a link to their site. Add a little tidbit about why you value their focus, if you'd like.
  • Wild Card entries must be submitted before Jan 11th, 4:30 ET.
  • No edits to your post after January 11th, 4:30 ET.
  • After each set of the playoffs, the Wildcard, Divisional, and Championship games, I will post an excel spreadsheet of the Hunt Talk player standings.
  • Superbowl winners will be posted as soon as I am able.
  • Winners are responsible for shipping / handling of prizes unless otherwise shared by the donor.
  • By placing your entries you agree that I have the right to adjust prize placements at any time and hold final say on rules or disputes.
