GlasgowMontana.com Pigskin Challenge Tiebreaker Policy
What is the Tiebreaker Game? Unless otherwise noted the "Tiebreaker Game" is the Monday night game at the end of each "football week" (meaning the game played on the Monday after the games played on the preceding Thursday through Sunday). Entrants may but are not required to submit a predicted score for the weekly Tiebreaker Game. This prediction is used for tiebreaker purposes only. If no predicted score is submitted for an entry, it is given a default prediction of 0 points to 0 points. It is possible for a default prediction to break a tie.
How are the ties broken? The pool of tied entrants is reduced until only one potential winner remains by applying the rules below in the order listed. However, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, elect not to break a tie and instead to award prizes to all eligible winners (or to all eligible winners then remaining after applying one or more tiebreaker rules).
In all cases, an entry that does not win a tiebreaker is eliminated from consideration:
1. Tiebreaker #1 - An entrant's predicted Tiebreaker Game score is compared to the actual Tiebreaker Game. The differences between the predicted scores and actual scores for each team are added (positive numbers only). The entry with the smallest total difference is considered the winning entry.
2. Tiebreaker #2 - The entrant whose predicted score for the winning team is closest to the actual score of the winning team without being over the total is considered the winning entry.
3. Tiebreaker #3 - The entrant with the highest total overall points is considered the winning entry.
4. Tiebreaker #4 - The entrant with the highest total points earned one (1) week prior is considered the winning entry.
5. Tiebreaker #5 and so on - The entrant with the highest total points earned two (2) weeks prior is considered the winning entry. Tiebreakers will continue backwards using each previous week's total until the tie is broken or no previous weeks remain.
Season. - In the event of a tie for a "Season," the tie is broken by applying the same rules as above, beginning with the final week of the season.
