​

Should there be more than 500+ entries, we reserve the right to reassess the payouts to include a potential 8th, 9th, and/or 10th place winner.

​

And of course, we will be providing receipts throughout to ensure that 100% of the pot is going to the winner, less the 10% to charity.

SCORING

As this competition is hosted on Yahoo, we will follow Yahoo's default scoring:

For tiebreakers, those also follow Yahoo's default scoring:

​

"If two or more players in a group finish with the same overall point total after a national champion is crowned, we'll use the following system to break the tie (for tiebreakers, we only take predicted points into consideration):

• First tiebreaker - Closest prediction of total points scored by both teams wins.

• Second tiebreaker - Closest prediction for points scored by the winning team.

• Third tiebreaker - Closest prediction for points scored by the losing team. If this last tiebreaker results in a deadlock, the players remain tied in the standings."

​

​

Disclosure: The guys who run @LifeInColumbus will be making PAID entries on behalf of themselves, and will be subject to the same rules and chances as everyone else.
