Congrats to the winners I will get my end out in the next day or two!
I'm still confused maybe someone can help me out on understanding how the final placing is determined when 3rd-6th has the same scores? I don't care how it fell I am just confused and want understand it a little more since this is the first brackets I have done.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
Paul,
Here's Yahoo's take on it. I didn't double check their math--I just assumed it was accurate. I'll go over it just to make sure--you never know with them...
Description
At the end of the game, if two or more players finish with the same overall point total, the following system will be used to break the tie.
Resolution
At the end of the game, if two or more players finish with the same overall point total, the following system will be used to break the tie:
- Closest to the total points scored by both teams in the final game
- Closest to the total points scored by the winning team in the final game
- Closest to the total points scored by the losing team in the final game
If, at this point, a tie still exists, the entrants will remain tied in the standings. If the tied entrants are both participating in the contest for the $5,000,000 and $10,000 prizes, the prize value will be divided between those entrants, following verification of eligibility. See the
Official Rules of the prize contest for more details.

Unfortunately, I've run into a bit of an administrative snag. I don't know who Thomas is, he didn't name his teams according to his screen name (I had just assumed that he did--my fault) and I can't figure it out based on the people who have commented on the thread, or the people who posted in last year's thread for that matter, either. His entries were Thomas's Unrivaled Bracket and Thomas's Top-Notch Bracket (which he screwed up on and didn't hit "confirm" or "save" or "submit" or whatever, so it was a blank).
As the manager of the pool, I have access to his email address, so I'll email it to give him the instructions that he owes Fjldo.
I don't have any reason to think this Thomas will try to dodge his obligations, but without knowing who he is, I can't PM him to make sure he has the instructions.
Does anyone know who he might be?
If he turns out to be a welcher, I'll cover his entry since this oversight more or less my fault.
Sorry about all this. Perhaps this might be a sign that I should pass the NCAA pool torch off to someone else who is able to be a bit more active at CP than I'm able to manage between finishing up school and job hunting...
Keep me up to speed, and I'll be sure to let everyone know if I have luck with the email address.
