The Sports Squares program is a quick and easy way to support MoTAS and Temple Ahavat Shalom. All monies earned by this program are used to fund special activities of Temple Ahavat Shalom that are above and beyond what is covered by the general fund. Full details on the program are available at http://squares.tasnorthridge-motas.org . This program is based on the first four NBA Mens Final Tournament games. Note: Online registration and payment will include a handlng fee from our online ticketing processor. If you want to avoid this fee, visit the website, download and print the form, and mail in your payment.
A brief reminder of how the game works:
- Entries: The basic entry is $36 per square.
- Limits: A player can reserve up to 3 squares and up to 3 more for their spouse.
- Payouts: Payouts are $100 for the first three quarters, and $150 for the final score of each game. As with the football squares, the winners are determined by the last digit of a team's score (so 67 is a 7). The grid numbers at the top (home) and down the side (away) are randomized for each game; square position in the grid is the same for each game. If the board is not fully subscribed, the payout is proportional based on the number of subscribed squares.
- Unsubscribed Squares: To address the possibility that all 100 squares might not be subscribed, the following is the procedure for empty squares that win: each player will make a guess as to what the total number of points both teams will score . This number will be used to settle all cases, for all games. If you purchase more than one square your "number" will apply for all your squares. Closest to actual score wins (payouts divided with ties). If there is no quarter winner, the final score prediction will still be used. For example: NBA 106-99 = 205 (106+99).
- Totals: The total payout is $450 per game, $1800 for all four games. This results in up to $1800 for temple projects, less small administrative costs.
- Other Notes: The home team will be as designated by the NBA.
