5. Winner Selection.
Semi-Final Games: On or about January 1, 2018, Administrator will review all eligible entries and select the winner with the correctly entered final scores for each team in the Semi-Final Games. In the event of more than one eligible entrant submitting correct final scores for all four Semi-Final Game teams, Administrator will conduct a random drawing from among the tied entries and select the potential winner.
In the event there is no eligible entry with the correct final scores for the Semi-Final Games, the entry with the entry with the lowest point difference will be declared the potential winner. In the event of a tie for lowest point difference, Administrator will conduct a random drawing from among the tied entries and select the potential winner.
Final Game: On or about January 2, 2018, Administrator will review all eligible entries and select the winner with the correctly entered final score for the Final Game. In the event of more than one eligible entrant submitting correct final scores for all the Final Game teams, Administrator will conduct a random drawing from among the tied entries and select the potential winner. In the event there is no eligible entry with the correct final score for the Final Game, the entry with the entry with the lowest point difference will be declared the potential winner. In the event of a tie for lowest point difference, Administrator will conduct a random drawing from among the tied entries and select the potential winner.
To calculate the "point difference," Administrator will compare the submitted team final scores to the team official final scores in the relevant game. The total difference in the scores will equal the point difference. For example:
Point Difference = 8
All decisions of the Administrator are final.
Odds depend on the number of eligible entries received.
