I think we need a clarification of contest rules !

Doug · Jul 18, 2006

for the BJ contest since it's been reduced to 9 teams. I made my picks ( was going to use 143 as tiebreak), looked over entries found 3 the same with 138,146,and 147. So I split the 138 and 146 to get 142. What happens if 140 or 144 runs score ?

i think it should be first come first serve, i see too many people copy and paste another poster's selection

So then if 140, the 138 beats my 142 ?

I'm OK with that, if stated in the rules.

I see it happening often as the parlays will get to be fewer and fewer teams.

i think you would like to see a different combinations for ever poster that enters, better chance to win ??

yes, better chance for somebody to win if all options are covered. I picked what I wanted, then worked the tiebreak. Taking a unique pick is superior ( if available). It won't be when this drops to 4-5 teams.

Doug · Jul 18, 2006

any ruling ?

TTinCO · Jul 18, 2006

I'll see if I can get an answer for you in the morning.

wilheim · Jul 19, 2006

Doug.

I will put in a special "Doug" tiebreaker starting Thursday. Of course we need someone to actually hit the original parlay before we start to check tiebreakers..

Happy, wil..

I hereby grant full permission for my prize to be handed to Doug. He will play as he sees fit, and cut me in on the winnings by sending me a Neteller payment in the amount of his choosing.
