Bet Jamaica 'Pick 3' Contest....

SportSavant · Sep 27, 2005

am a little confused as to the grading of this contest.... what am I missing?

I notice Vikings611 is listed as #1 in the RX group yet he is only 6-3 so far....

then I notice 'weebs' is number # 2, but he is only 7-2...

Myself I am 8-1 however I am only listed as 13th in the group.

(I imagine this must have to do with the Tie Breakers, the total points that we have to select..... they must count as real plays?)

anyone know? if not I will fire off an email to scotty.....

I read this from the rules, but I still dont get it? :icon_conf

WINNER SELECTION AND TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES.

Each week, your rank is determined by the number of winners you pick and, if necessary, by the tie-breaking procedures. Your overall rank is determined by the aggregate total of your weekly scores.

Weekly Ranking/Tie-breakers
Amongst people tied in winning picks in a given week, the tie-breaking questions of points scored by the 1) Home team and 2) Visiting team in the Monday night game (Sunday night game for Week 17) will be used to break ties: the closer your predicted total for each team is to the actual total for each team the better. Finally, if there are still ties, then the person whose picks were submitted earlier that week will be ranked better. Note that if you submit your picks and then change them, we will use the time we received your last set of picks for the purposes of the final tie-breaker.

Overall Ranking/Tie-breakers
Amongst people tied in winning picks overall, the person with the best rank in the last week of the applicable period will be considered to be ranked better.

The top contestant(s) will win the prizes listed on the Prizes page and indicated below.

thanks for the clarification vikings....

I can now see the drop down menu which allows you to change the option from "Week" to "overall".....

It looks like the RX still has ONE poster who is going for 1 MILLION dollars.....
