I demand a recount. I had Collins with 18, that should be 9 for the spread.

And thanks for keeping track Mike.

you posted this--- the spread (as I used this term to show winning margin) is 10 points, not 9. USF won by 10 points 94-84.

The spread is the total number of points the winner won by. Not sure what you think it is supposed to mean. You were giving 10 points for picking USF, you had predicted a spread of 21 points and the actual was 10-- resulting in a difference of 11 points. 15 less 11 is 4. That number is perfectly correct.

as for the Collins-- you got the 5 points for picking him and 9 points for being off by 1 point on his total.

so no --- screw your recount. The count is perfect.

Your score is highlighted above. You had 38 total points, 10 for predicted USF, 4 points for predicting 21 (15 less 11 off), 5 points for picking Collins to be hi scorrer, 9 points (10-1) for predicting 18 points (1 off) when he had 17, no points for rebounder or rebounds, and 10 points for being 3% or under on FT %.

10+4+5+9+0+0+10=38

Also--- understand that I have written these formulas from scratch and everything is calculated. I would be more than happy to correct any error in the formulas I use to abide by the contest rules.

PS -- I might be a little touchy about the word recount.

SIck of this effing BS about recounts from a useless ******* moron in the white house

[MikeG]

Here is a possibly clearer way to view the predictions themselves in case you are having trouble viewing the text version I was trying to use.

And sorry if I got a little testy there--- I am a couple hours behind most of you guys.

Mike, may need to reexamine &drew's entry. He apparently changed it a couple of hours before game:

wow-- you are right. As the change occurred prior to game time-- it must stand as the actual prediction.  Give me a minute to adjust the scores/prediction tables.

 

Corrected prediction table

I see my error now, thanks for the “audit”. The way the table looked on my phone’s browser was confusing. I thought I was being jobbed on Collins’ points.

Again, thanks for keeping track Mike.

[MikeG]

OK-- the corrected totals show a tie at 38 points between @NJ Bull and @Fold FB Invest in BB -- and based soley on the tie breaking rules, the winner is determined to be @NJBull based on the margin of victory being closer to actual on the margin of victory (NJBull was 20 points while Fold FB was 21 points). This is according to rule

Quote

6) Ties will be decided by Bulliever starting with accuracy on first - last prediction.

and margin was the first difference between the two predictions.

Congratulations to @NJBull - the winner of this games contest and this fancy beer coozie..... all to be ultimately decided by @Brad.

the jobbing happened later when the revised results led to you losing the tie breaker.

No biggie-- just a coozie. Tied for first place now though.
