Let’s say you selected
Now let’s say
You would have accumulated 7.5 points.
If 7.5 points was the highest # of points accumulated that week, you
would WIN the WEEEKLY HIGH POINT PRIZE.
BUT if someone else also had 7.5, the Monday Night Total Points Tie
Breaker # you
chose would be considered. You chose 41
and the total score was 30 – so you were off by 11 points. If the person tied
with you, with 7.5 points, picked a score that resulted in a differential
higher than 11 points YOU WIN for the week. If lower, YOU LOSE and if it’s the
same, YOU SPLIT the winnings.
