The Card
Do the Broncos win?
Circle yes or no. That is the whole question.
Do the Broncos score more than 24?
Same number every night, so there is no line to look up and nothing to argue about.
Guess the combined final score.
Both teams added together. Nail it exactly for 4. Within 5 points gets you 2. Within 10 gets you 1.
Do the Broncos lead at halftime?
Settled at the half, so you get a verdict partway through the night instead of waiting for the final.
Show up.
You get the point for handing the card in at the ZU in person. This is the point that matters.
Nine points is a perfect card.
How You Win
All 16 of them, and always exactly one. Ties go to the closest combined score. Top card gets anything off the bar on us, wine or mocktail or whatever you are drinking, handed over in front of everybody.
Your four worst get thrown out. This is why somebody who starts in October is still live in January.
Highest 12-night total gets their name on the wall, where it stays, and a $100 tab behind the bar with their name on it. Good through the end of next season. Tie goes to whoever came to more games.
The Schedule
We are closed on Christmas, so that one is not part of the pool. Watch it at home and we will pick back up for the last two. The Broncos have a bye in November, so there is no card that weekend. The last two games get scheduled by the league later in the season.
