The Party Is Here! This Is Your Last Chance!!!
We had a late minute entry 
Hive account@steaknsteem as I was preparing this FINAL UPDATE!
This is you last chance to enter this fantastic week of games designed to have fun, reward playing, and earn some nice sbd. We had many surprises and if you don't believe me, just go through the games. I had to upvote the newbies and my mind was blown away at how many replies and comments and truly great answers there were!
What makes this week most exciting was that we had participation from not only tons of people (almost 1000 views on 
Hive account@danielsaori's Comment Challenge) and added veteran pro gamemaker 
Hive account@crowdini to join in too, but the fact that we had 11 brand new gamemakers and this was their first game ever on steemit!
On top of this, we also got support from 
Hive account@earthnation-bot to help us with the upvotes to increase the values to all players. Earthnation-bot is the best bot for all newbies because it gives a 5x upvote on your sbd purchase. Having them support our gamemakers to get the most possible for our contestants is just one more example of how we can do more working together than we could ever do alone.
This was the first "event" ever for the Resteem Newbie Initiative, and while it was put together quickly, the promise that it showed many was eye-opening. The enthusiasm and excitement and effort of so many were responsible for such a great week!
Thank you all so much for everything. I think we got many newbies to engage and to learn the meaning of community, and in the process we also managed to strengthen our members and partners in a way that will only grow over time. Its a small step, but a step in the right direction... and that is success in my opinion!
First, The Last Entrant, Lucky #17
This is a simple game by Hive account@steaknsteem, but its appropriate given the nature of this game. You have one day to pick the winner of the big game and the total points. That's it! Simple and quick! He pays out 50% of the post's SBD to winner! Pick your team, pick the points... and good luck ;)

This entry from 
Hive account@beeyou is a traditional version of the block pool game that is played in offices all over the US. Hive account@beeyou had one of her male teammates join the action and add some extra ideas to this game. This is his first game ever, but he took one of my games I was planning and beat me to the punch. This is a great and easy game to play, as you literally just pick two blocks! When gameday gets here on Sunday you will have something to root for even if you don't know football! I love this one, so enter early before all the blocks are gone!!! (I got my block already) He pays out 50% of the post's SBD plus adds another $1 SBD of his own!

He pays out 2 SBDs plus 50% of the post's SBD payout in a winner take all format! (high stakes but high rewards if you win, so get your moments down in his comment section)

This is a game from not only a new gamemaker he's also a new newbie. How's that for amazing! While this Norwegian needs to brush up on his titling skills, he has one of the funniest games I've played today. He picks a word and ask you to "creatively" define it, and the steemers find a way to make some pretty funny comments. I entered myself and I'm very proud of my answer lol! He pays out 100% of the post's SBD to the most creative entry! That's about as simple as the title!

This game by new game-maker 
Hive account@themanwithnoname is by far the easiest to enter and gives away at least one and maybe 4 lifetime memberships to a daily upvote service 
Hive account@steembasicincome. What do you have to do, you ask? Simply upvote, resteem, and comment that you did those two. That's it and the number of total winners will depend on the total upvote. Pretty easy to play and could be a prize that make you remember that man with no name to remember!

Once again a new game-maker has found a creative and unique way to keep us engaged and having fun. In this game 
Hive account@leebaong asks us to describe ourselves by using the each letter of our username. I've already entered myself and it a cool way to do it! You'll like to read what the other put and its a fun way to meet your neighbors! He pays out 25% of the post's SBD the winner and pays out 50% in participation payouts to valid entries! This is an easy and fun way to win some money for sure :)

Hive account@jorlauski a veteran game-maker (like Hive account@danielsaori) added himself the week of festivities and joined the Super Bowl Week - Newbie Edition event!

Yet another new game-maker 
Hive account@iexplore came up with a twist on the traditional pairing of the winner and the total score of both teams contest. He pays out 50% of the post's SBD to the traditional winner but he also adds a comment component and give a 10% bonus for the best memory of a past Superbowl or Superbowl commercial! Easy, fast, and fun! Love it and I've entered it to ;)

I love the creativity 
Hive account@sinlg shows with this one! He creates a game where the readers add a paragraph to the end of the story to keep it going. Its very clever and fun to do. I did it but messed up my entry, so I will be adding another entry tomorrow. While Hive account@sinlg forgot to tell us how he will pay us out hahaha, I'm confident that he will respect our 50% of the post's SBD as a minimum payout! (I've learned in my life the the super creative types, sometime forget the simplest of things) lol

Our brand "new to steemit" gamemaker 
Hive account@funcontest is back for more. This Norwegian has brushed up on his titling skills, he is now entering his 2nd contest in two day. I think he is serious about this gaming concept ;). He picks a word and ask you to "creatively" define it, and the steemers find a way to make some pretty funny comments. He pays out 100% of the post's SBD to the most creative entry!

As mentioned above, our veteran game-maker Hive account@danielsaori is throwing a touchdown by entering not one but two contests. As usual he's got another great contest and he even has a cool twist. Hint: Can 
Hive account@dorabot pick the ?winner ? Not only is Hive account@danielsaori entering a 2nd contest, he jumps in with a substantial $5 SBD for the winner! Anyone can win, you don't need to even know anything about the game, so stop by here and take a shot and you could win 5 SBD!

As mentioned above master daily gamemaker Hive account@crowdini is here to show his support. For all of you that have not played his daily game, he has it down to a science and everything is automated. You can play his games in less than 30 seconds (if you can read fast) ;) ... Seriously this is an honor to have him join us, so if you are a newbie or even just one of our members, I would appreciate if you took the time to check out his game. You will be hooked in no time, just like you have been with Hive account@danielsaori's contests. He pays out 100% of the post's SBD to the top three slots and then gives the other 10% as a participation prize to valid entries!

Our brand "new to steemit" gamemaker Hive account@funcontest is back for more (again)... This is number 3. This Norwegian is on fire, he is now entering his 3rd contest in three days. I really really think he is serious about this gaming concept ;). He picks a word and ask you to "creatively" define it, and the steemers find a way to make some pretty funny comments. This one had no entries, so it is literally WIDE OPEN! (I think people are a little shy about putting their voices on tape... lol) But we applaud the effort and if someone is brave enough, go for it because you don't have to be good to win, you just have to enter ;)... He pays out 100% of the post's SBD to the most creative entry!

Don't Forget Newbies Get 2 Types Of Guaranteed From Newbie Resteem Initiative
- All newbies with a 45 Reputation score or lower will be guaranteed at least a $0.05 comment upvote for a "valid" answer.
- All newbies with a 45 Reputation score or lower will be guaranteed a one-time direct transfer of $0.05 SBD if you participate in any "Super Bowl Week - Newbie Edition"
Total "Post-Boost" for the rest of the week
The total "post-boost that will be entered tonight won't happen because the drop in steem price dropped the value below yesterdays calculation ($7.05 vs $7.37) upvote on the initiating post (Click Here) plus the 3 update posts (including the drop in steem today).
We paid out on day 1 $0.711 SBD for "post-boosts"
We paid out on day 2 $0.888 SBD for "post-boosts"
We paid out on day 3 $0.812 SBD for "post-boosts"
We paid out on day 4 $0
Total paid out thru day 4 = $2.1411 SBD for "post-boosts"
Then new payout for day 4 is calculated as follows:
Today's Post upvote will not happen due to the drop in steem values. But the payout could go up over the next few days. Plus any votes on this post will also be applied. So stay tuned for final update in 3 more days!
NOTE 2: As more players play and like the games, the more they upvote and resteem, the more the prizes for everyone. Its like a ball rolling down the side of a hill. ;)
Remember that is a calculation that will occur every day until the Super Bowl is over and also until the post actually gets paid. So while this will be the last post of updates, it will count toward the totals.
