Done deal, ill revise the rules to say "Tuesday's USA Today's lines"

[hart attack]

Ok, I see I am being targeted as "bitching & moaning" because I dared ask what I considered to be a legitimate rules question. The same question needs to be addressed again prior to the start of the contest.

What is the purpose of recording "ties" if the winners are determined by the following-

"The winner is the contestant with the most wins at the end of the year."

Please clarify if ties on a spread will be used to break ties in the weekly standings.
Example: Let's say two contestants finish at 9-2-1 & 9-1-2. Would a record of 9-2-1 finish behind a record of 9-1-2? Or would those two share in first and second equally since they both had the most "wins"?

This question was not intended to offend anyone. I think it should be clarified as it could easily come up. I doubt I am the only one that would be curious about that.

Yes, this year we should have a clear policy on ties in all the contests.

I think the full record should be kept W-L-T, with one point for a win and 1/2 point for a tie. Most points wins. Simple and easy!

[xbigpappa]

Yes, Ties will count as 1/2 point this year!!!!!!!!!!

[hart attack]

Excellent. Wins are worth a full point, ties would be worth a half point. Problem solved.
