DEADLINE...the deadline needs to be by Thursday. That is the day that many sections begin their qrtfinals <p></p><i></i>

Section 5 is Wednesday, do you need to make the deadline tomorrow? <p></p><i></i>

yeah, we better--deadline is WEDNESDAY AT 7:00 PM <p></p><i></i>

My bad, 4A starts at 5:30 today! <p></p><i></i>

The 4A games today aren't likely to be significant; I'd stick with tomorrow for the deadline. <p></p><i></i>

Question...?<br><br>I haven't experienced these things before, sorry...<br>How do the weights help decide a tie? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :\ --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Thanks for the patience. <p></p><i></i>

They help PREVENT a tie, not break one. Every section recieves a unique rank from 1 to 12 (total of 78 if I added right). Think of the rank as a confidence value. <br>Let's say you and I picked every section correct except for 1. I weighted my wrong section a 1 and you rated your wrong section a 3. I would win because I have 77 and you have 75. <br>What makes this hard is you have to pick the winner and the runner up. I think many could tie with just a winner but it will be very hard to predict all the runner ups correctly. <p></p><i></i>

I don't know about everyone, but my predicts are a total crapshoot. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

OK, a couple of you (random and gopherbabe) haven't been doing it right, or maybe I just wasn't clear enough. You have to assign values 1-12 to each game. You can only use a number ONCE. You can't give them all a 12 or use values more than one time. <p></p><i></i>

Oh, I see.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Sorry. I'll redue mine. Did not quite understand how it worked. Thanks! <p></p><i></i>

I'm confused on the scoring, by my math the max number of points you could get for scoring 1-12 is 78. I have random with a very nice 62. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... xk1>xk1</A> at: 2/16/06 9:29 am<br></i>
