2011 Super Bowl Pool - FINAL RESULTS - I think Nate Wins!!

Am I wrong to think that the winner would be determined by the person who picked the correct team followed by the closest margin of score?

No offense, but I'm with Blake.

If you didn't pick the winner, your score is wrong in every way possible.

After that come the tie breakers.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the pick the winner and closest margin argument, but I would suggest you go back to the original post and read the rules, again.

In Retrospect........

"Scoring: Your two score guesses will be added together for a combined total, then compared with the combined total of the actual scores at the end of the Super Bowl game. The person whose combined score is closest to the actual combined score wins! In the case of a tie, the person with the closest score guess of the winning team wins. If there is still a tie, a random drawing will be conducted."

The contest does not mention having to initially pick the winner, so I guess the results as stated above should stand.

I guess Lombardi was wrong...........;-)

Well, I can't go back and change the rules for this particular contest now, so we have to go with the original post announcing the contest. That would be like creating new standards for surveys, you have a plat recorded, then we change the standards and make you revise your recorded plat to the new standards.

To make good, we'll be sure to send both Nate and Mr. Harris really awesome prizes as we cut our teeth on this one.

Keep in mind this is our first real contest, so we are still in learning mode. The point(s) you made are well received and we will attempt to improve future contests based on your feedback.

Actually, most pools work this way....the winner is irrelevant, rather it's the amount of points scored in each quarter and such.

Congrats to those who won a prize!

Do I get third place!!

I guessed gb 35
Pitt 28

A Harris deserves something because he has the total right on the money. As for Joe51 an RAGOODWIN, It's hard to nail the winning teams score right on and the fact that they guessed Green Bays score EXACTLY as it wound up being is pretty damn cool and is also deserving of a little "goodie"!! :good:

I agree. I think they both deserve a grand prize!!:gift: 😀 :clap: :party: :gift:

OK, guys, here's what I need from you four fine surveyors... Addresses!!

Nate and A Harris, I'll respond back with my little questionnaire that I sent to Phillip. This way I can customize your "prizes". 😉

Please send to:

Thanks!!

:angel: Angel

Angel, whatever you folks decide is fine. I can see I was upside down in my guess, that is I had the wrong team on top.

You have my permission to go with (the right side up) guess, if you want. I can see that.

Nate

Talk about a close guess, Nate. Had you reversed that and bet in some big time sports polls you'd of probably clobbered everyone!! :hi5:

Thanks, guys! 😀

Wendell,

Just out of curiosity.....

Why in hell are these whining crybabies’s (no offense meant to anyone) disputing your decision?????
Jumping Jesus, it’s not as though there was a million dollars at stake.

Keep up the great work!:-)

I am happy to participate with everyone on this forum and enjoy knowing that whatever the end results are, they are in capable hands.

The only downside of all of this is that the wait for the next football game is a very long one.

In Retrospect........

Sorry, I didn't read the rules. :-O I just asked a question. I didn't mean to get anything started.

Eh..it's OK. No harm taken. I've done the very same thing myself a time or two. 🙂 :beer:

Wait A Second, I Demand A Prize

I did not enter the contest, therefore I have no wrong guesses.

Therefore I conclude that my non-answers are more correct than everyone else's incorrect answers.

To be politically correct this is in the same vein as giving tax refunds to those who did not work and therefore had no income.

BTW, since I now make the above political comparison this whole thread now belongs in P&R.
