    50/50 if ends 7-7 on losses, 6-7 would be pro-rated, 6 losses gets 7/13, 7 losses gets 6/13, which comes out to 81/69.

    But doubt it gets that far.

    Because Beth doesn't want Borgov to know her move in advance!

    This is OK by rules, I think?

    You are not breaking any rules, but if it was me and I actually liked a play in one of the two games, I'd put it out ASAP. I would only wait and strategize if I had no real opinion on either game.

    I've mentioned this before in previous similar contests that I think it would be a good idea when only a few contestants remain (say <5) to allow people to PM their picks to a moderator rather than posting them publicly.

    I mean very clearly people can gain a serious edge from picking after the other(s) in certain situations. E.g. if there are two people left, and one person has two X's until elimination while the other only has one X left - the former person, by making the same pick as the latter person every day (naturally via only picking after they do), could 100% guarantee that they win the contest couldn't they? And that should not be permitted I would think.
    Points Awarded:

    LT Profits gave ArunSh 50 Betpoint(s) for this post.

    Excellent point, I added clause to NBA contest and will make it a permanent clause for next year. I also sent you a little token as a thank you.

    It is too late for this contest, although not as much of an issue with both guys at 7.

    Can the mod please post such pm'd picks right after tip? (for those of us who enjoy following the competition, even after having been knocked out.)

    I would post shortly after BOTH picks are received.

    But again, that does not apply to THIS contest, which is last one where picks are still posted in thread even down to Final 2.

    Good point. Also these contests need to be set up like BTP (forgot what the new contest is called now) where picks are entered automatically and also graded automatically without anyone knowing others picks. It shouldn't be that hard to program.
