UNLEARN is on pace to absolutely CRUSH the record for points in this format. Well the format not including the Championship game. Most sites have a contest just like this one but they dont include that last game.

I cant remember the exact record for points, but I think that it was close 25 points. He is at 20 now and has a chance at 27.5 (not including the last game). Most likely he ends at around 25 points and thus destroys the field

and the po69 jinx is still strong after 10 years

Is the tiebreaker price is right style (closest without going over) or whoever gets closest

closest without going over per the rules in the original thread

**daneblazer** · 01-02-19, 01:14 PM

And did we really set this last line so it could possibly push

I have no feel for the championship game. I’m just taking a stab. I’m only betting in my sports book to hedge the opposite side I take here

OSU killed me. Would have gotten me to 20 points and a chance to win bet points

**seaborneq** · 01-02-19, 06:34 PM

Would it be easier to pick all losers and guarantee a 500 win?Next year would anyone like to team up and go for the 500 dollars for picking the least amount of winners. Every year I've played the solo entries seem to win ALL the cash and betpoints. Just preparing for next year

OSU would have put me at 25.5 and pretty much locked up 2k at least. Now I have to hit the game or hedge.

**BigDeem5** · 01-02-19, 11:00 PM

OSU got me good too

**toga toga** · 01-03-19, 07:46 AM

This contest is always the most interesting and fun. A few people have a chance to win it all, good luck to everyone.

**thechaoz** · 01-03-19, 11:27 PM

As I've said for 3rd penetrating time great n Texas a loss for chili and me

How can it be easier come on. Guy sucks so bad he gets rewarded for it. SBR should do away with the last place $500 and add another cash prize at the top

Our bad. This was corrected.

**daneblazer** · 01-04-19, 10:12 AM

Wow that would have been nice to know

**thechaoz** · 01-04-19, 12:01 PM

Why can myself and chili still get 6 points? I've posted 3 times to grade our picks fully

**mpaschal34** · 01-04-19, 12:15 PM

So...Roy Bacon really went 1-14 with his only win being a 1*? Wow!!

I need to know what his final play is!!!

**daneblazer** · 01-04-19, 09:21 PM

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.

Does that mean closest without your tiebreaker going over the score
or
score going over tiebreaker

Say the score is 75-25 and my tiebreaker is 99. Is that going over?

**mpaschal34** · 01-04-19, 11:54 PM

What if the game is 3-0...and everyone goes over? Does that mean the person with the lowest total wins or does it go to the next tie breaker (3* wins)?

If you chose 99 and the final score was 96. You went Over. You'd lose.

If you chose 99 and the final score was 100. You'd win.

Goes right to the next tie breaker of 3* wins.... and that means you'd win.

This is up now in the first post.

**mpaschal34** · 01-05-19, 11:57 AM

wow....so sportsfun didn't make a pick?

This is terrible. Do you think they would remind Derailer or one of the other top-3 finishers in any other contest to make picks for the final week? This is one of the bigger money contests of the whole season. It deserves some respect. I would feel bad if I made such a costly mistake. But it would be on me and I would be punished for it.

As it is each of the top half contestants has one less entry to worry about. Which is great.

It is also great most of my competitors picked Clemson!

**pabonaparte** · 01-05-19, 12:52 PM

Please clarify the following, SBRForum:

In case Alabama wins by 7 or more points, the following players are tied with 24 points:

andyjc712 (55)
daneblazer (52)
pabonaparte (53)

According to the rules below, it seems that if 55 or more points are scored, the finishing order is as follows:

andyjc712 (55)
pabonaparte (53)
daneblazer (52)

If the game lands on 53 or 54:

pabonaparte (53)
daneblazer (52)
andyjc712 (55)

If the game lands on 52:

daneblazer (52)
pabonaparte (53)
andyjc712 (55)

If 51 or fewer points are scored:

andyjc712 (55) and 5-0
pabonaparte (53) and 4-1
daneblazer (52) and 3-2 on five-star picks

I would like to make certain the primary tiebreaker is the # of points scored, not five-star picks record. Additionally could you confirm that andyjc712 (not myself) places higher in case Alabama covers -6 and the game goes under 51 points. The final pick is not a kind of secondary tiebreaker is it?

Contest rules

Each entry/team captain picks 15 sides from lines posted in an official thread on Wednesday, December 12. Lines will not change. Pick denominations will be: Five 3*'s, Five 2*'s, Five 1*'s.
All players MUST enter a 16th and final pick on the Championship game. The pick denomination will be 4*. An official PM collecting the 16th pick will be sent Tuesday, January 1. The final pick is due by Friday January 4 at 11:59PM ET.
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.
Pushes will return half of your bet. For example, if USC (-3) wins by 3, and they were a 2* play, you receive 1 star.
