BTW, other rules:
-No predictions after game starts. -Scores can be changed up to gametime. Any changes after that point will not be considered. -If two posters have the same prediction, the earliest prediction is the one that counts and the other poster’s prediction will be eliminated.
Help me out. Am I missing something?
If I am around next year, and if I remember, I will create a thread around Midnight Madness to remind everyone of the prediction contest and ask for suggestions on how to improve it or change it.

prhoya:
I continue to be unable to make you see my point. I did not say I was closest to Butler's score. I said I got the margin of victory exactly (which I did). Notwithstanding what C2C might have said to you, margin of victory is, in fact, the first tie breaker right now as written. I think it is the criterion most would expect to see used for this purpose. You are getting needlessly bogged down in arcane formulae which are not any reflection of an ability to pick the game and unnecessarily muddy the waters when you have a universally accepted standard (margin of victory) not only available but on the books. Please, I implore you to go back and read the tie breakers yourself, critically. "a" is margin of victory or defeat: period. Not only should margin of victory be the first tie breaker; it IS the first tie breaker.
Thank you
p.s. In my opinion second tiebreaker "b" should be combined score. No slide rule required.

AI.........79 DWade......76
I have never won this "stupid" game but I remember needing DSR to make two freebies at the end of a game in order to win. DSR swished the first and then rimmed out the second....I have never really been close any other time....LET'S GO!!!!!!
