who's mark ohlms

**Alright Alright** · 02-22-21, 12:25 PM

How do we settle the tie for 5th and 6th? The tiebreaker was predicted games in the final match (28 games). Mr. Teaser (40 games) and Alright Alright (35 games). They have the results based on winning percentage not the actual tiebreaker.

**thezbar** · 02-22-21, 01:31 PM

Since Jake and I tied for 2nd, we split 2nd and 3rd place, right?

it looks like tiebreaker might have been percent correct where jake is ahead of u, ties who wants ties this isn't soccer plus i'm sure as shet positive u wouldn't of created this if u were on top in 2nd place

Thanks much shari as always - love these contests! Glad again didn't have to miss this one due to the technical/seeming lack of a site issue! Hope we get them for all the other majors rest of the year too - until the next one all!

Why have a tiebreaker if you're not going to use it? I clearly got screwed out of 5th place. BS!

u lost both correct picks and correc pick pct so u are a deserving 6th place

as u can see with 8th place and 9th place tied but 8th place had better correct picks and win pct

Shut the Fock Up ck513!

The tiebreaker was predicted games in the final match. Correct picks and correct picks percentage don't matter. We both had 245 points. You don't know everything ck513!

maybe that was the 2nd tie breaker or 3rd tie breaker, can't see any rules on the site so don't know that seems pretty silly to go thru a whole tournament and tb come down to one match , most wins and win pct shows more skill thru out

**cincinnatikid513** · 02-24-21, 01:09 PM

i don't know how this global tennis people picked the rules but it's pretty easy to see going by how many ties there were they picked the person with most correct picks ahead

**Alright Alright** · 02-24-21, 01:44 PM

i could care less about the global tennis network , they needed a place in a hurry to run the tennis contest and tennis channel and tourny topia didn't do it last year so i found global tennis network some people were running private contest, i really don't care at all

**Alright Alright** · 02-24-21, 02:00 PM

My question was can you tell me the tiebreaker used in my bracket challenges? Trevor at Global Tennis Network responded it was just total games played in the final match. Whoever is closer, wins the tiebreaker.

In this circumstance with having to use a totally different format and on short notice, The tie breaker rule should not apply here, because no one is really sure what the correct tie breaker is.

The final should be represented on total points only. It there are ties just split the prizes between those places.

You can’t really use correct picks or win percentage because some picks were lost picks because of players dropping out or retirements and COVID related issues.

Im fine with splitting the prizes and believe it’s the fair thing to do.
Im cool with whatever. We’re only talk’in 3 ties between both contests.
Im sure Shari can make the call on this.
