Just so i understand because I’m slow...if one entry posts 81 and another posts 79 as the tiebreaker, and the total lands on 80... who wins the tiebreaker?

Pretty sure it’s price is right rules, without going over. Think that’s in the original rules.

[daneblazer]

• Along with the 16th pick, players must enter the total # of points scored in the Championship to serve as primary tiebreaker. Closest without going over wins. If two or more teams are still tied, the most # of 3* wins is backup tiebreaker. If still tied, prizes split. MAXIMUM TOTAL ALLOWED is 30 points above total that will be provided in PM.

so for example if I select 75 as the total and the total lands on 80, is that over?

i'm confused why you have a maximum tiebreaker?

[d2bets]

79 and everything under that would win tiebreaker over the 81 pick. If your total is over the actual total, you don't beat anyone in the tiebreaker.

If we are tied after 15 picks and both pick same side and your tiebreaker is 75 and mine is 76, you win if the game goes under 75.5, otherwise I win.

Or does it go to next tiebreaker if the game goes under 74.5 and we both go over?

[nickfolker23]

Another question: if I have 12 points and my opponent has 16 points, he picks Alabama (tiebreak 82) and I pick Ohio State (tiebreak 76), and Ohio State wins game 45-42. Now we both have 16 points.

Is his tiebreak (82) in play, or do we go to the next tiebreaker?

So guys battling for last don;t submit 999.

[RudyRuetigger]

i knew there was a reason, i just couldnt figure it out


good idea

[LT Profits]

If we are tied after 15 picks and both pick same side and your tiebreaker is 75 and mine is 76, you win if the game goes under 75.5, otherwise I win.

Or does it go to next tiebreaker if the game goes under 74.5 and we both go over?

Right in both counts. You submit 76, opponent submits 75, game lands 75 opponent wins, game land 74 goes to 3* points since you both went Over.

[LT Profits]

Another question: if I have 12 points and my opponent has 16 points, he picks Alabama (tiebreak 82) and I pick Ohio State (tiebreak 76), and Ohio State wins game 45-42. Now we both have 16 points.

Tiebreaker always in play as it breaks FINAL ties, not ties entering championship. His 82 would break tie at 16.
