NFL Draft Game for Autism Awareness


As a member of the Autism Awareness Team at Grand Street Campus, I am currently working with my teamates on how to let people know about World Autism Awareness Day, which is April 2nd. I have created a fantasy-type game called Stacking the Board, that goes along with the NFL Draft. The directions are below. Please forward to any football fans you know and if they are interested they can follow the directions and play along. Even if you do not play along, just by forwarding this email you have helped me in letting people know that April is the month to find out more about Autism and what we can all do to help.

I will donate $20 in the name of the person with the highest official point total.

Directions for Stacking the Board
Choose 32 players that you think will be drafted in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
Place them in the order that you think they will be picked.

Points will be given like this:
1 point if your player is selected anywhere in the first round.
5 points if your player is selected in the slot you predicted.
10 points if you pick three players in a row
15 points if you pick four players in a row
20 points if you pick five players in a row
(if you hit on five in a row, you start a new streak on the next pick)

In order for your picks to be official, I must receive them by 11am on April 26th (one hour before the draft starts) email them to big.offense@gmail.com

Email me for a scoresheet and list of some well thought of NFL Prospects.

The Re-up

I have decided to get this blog back in effect, so I am going to re-up with at least a few posts a week. Starting today with the first of many NFL Draft features. So remember to check back every so often.
