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!

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:

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.
