muggs Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 The same as last year...we don't have to worry about this until the actual playoffs start but I wanted to post this now so you guys can go over it. It worked out well last year. The top 12 people will get in, with the top 4 recieving a "bye" for the first week. Our playoffs will coincide with the actual NFL playoffs and we want to make these picks a little more challenging, so you'll have to select the over/under for all games, and for tie breaking purposes, we'll ask that you predict the actual score (for example Carolina 33- NY Giants 14). Here's how the top 12 will be selected: We'll pick the 12 highest point totals for the year. If several people have the same score, we will base who ranks highest by how they did the final week of the regular season. In other words, if the 12th and 13th place person both have 85 total points for the year, who ever did better during the final week of the regular season will get in. If they both had equal points the final week, we'll go back to the previous week etc... until we break the tie. Since there will be less games per week during theplayoffs especially when the final two our predicting the Super Bowl (only one game), we'll need multiple ways to break possible tie scenarios. Here's what we've come up with. In the case of a tie, the following rules will be used to break it: 1. Whoever picked the correct winner wins the tie. If both predicted the winner correctly then... 2. Whoever got the over/under correct wins. If both got the correct over/under then... 3. Whoever guessed the the final score most accurately will win... If for some God awful reason they both had the exact same score then... 4. Whoever had a higher regular season point total wins. If they had the same regular season point total then... 5. Whoever hot more points the final week of the regular season wins. (we'll keep going back as many weeks as we have to until we have a different # of points). I know this sounds complicated...but really, there are a lot of possible ways to end in ties so we need several tie breakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Question on Tie breaker #3 3. Whoever guessed the the final score most accurately will win... If for some God awful reason they both had the exact same score then... Exactly how will this be determined? By adding the 2 scores together? Closest to each score? or what?

muggs Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Question on Tie breaker #3 Exactly how will this be determined? By adding the 2 scores together? Closest to each score? or what? I'm pretty sure how I did it last year was by taking the total point differential, adding them together and whoever had the smaller differential would win the tie. That sounds confusing as all get out so what I mean is: If you pick Cowboys 24 Giants 13 and the actual score is Boys 21 Giants 20: 24-21= 3 20-13=7 3+7=10 If 10 is lower than your opponents number you win.
