    Pick the score and win 1.67 Crizal Alize

    1.) Pick the score of the Superbowl at halftime and at game end.
    2.) The object is to get as close to possible for each team.
    3.) For example, if you guess "Patriots 28 Carolina 14" for the end-of-game score and the final score is 21-10 Patriots, you will be off by 11 points (if the score had been 21-10 Carolina, you would have missed by 25 points).
    4.) All scores must be posted before February 1st, and must be posted on this thread.
    5.) Once a score is posted, no one else may post the exact same scores.
    6.) ONLY ONE GUESS PER ID. If your friends, family, etc. would like to post a guess, they must register seperately on OptiBoard. OptiBoard registration is (incredibly) free, so this shouldn't be a problem.
    7.) Winners will be announced on this thread. If, for any reason, it is unclear who won, I will decide on a resolution (as generous a one as possible).
    8.) I will mail the winner of each half a certificate for a free pair of 1.67 Thin & Lite with Crizal Alize.
    9.) Winners can choose whether the lenses will be single vision or Varilux.

    SAMPLE ENTRY
    End of Half
    Patriots 14
    Carolina 10

    End of Game
    Patriots 17
    Carolina 24


    Obviously, I won't be entering the contest (however, it is open to any employees, friends, family, etc. of any company).

    Good luck!

    PS- This is obviously not an official promotion by Essilor / Varilux. This is something fun that I am doing here on OptiBoard. I can't imagine there being any legal ramifications to this, but if there are Essilor of America is in no way liable or responsible for any claims made above.

    If I could pick the score, I could get a lot more than a pair of lenses from my bookie.

    I always pull for the underdog. That usually means I am on the losing side, but hey its fun!
    So I am going to say the halftime score will be:
    Pats: 14
    Panthers: 14

    Final score:
    Pats:21
    Panthers: 27

    I have to at least post a guess (but if I'm closest, the next closest will get the voucher)...

    Halftime
    New England 10
    Carolina 3

    End of Game
    New England 17
    Carolina 20

    Since my pick doesn't count, someone else can use the same scores (or may have already, I didn't check).
