Single tie-beaker option (Chop)

Hello,

      As always thanks for hosting such a great site.  Any thoughts on an option to eliminate the secondary tie-breakers and going to a chop if wanted.  I do this now manually after the games but am always looking for a way that I can eliminate any human error and possible disputes.  Thanks in advance

Thanks Brian. Are you thinking of a chop for both weekly, and end-of-season final standings? I might be able to get something done before the start of the season.

basically no tie breakers for end of season categories, if 2 players have the same stat value they chop the prize.  For the weekly pool I would still want to use the selected game total ponts tiebreaker but if 2 players had total games right and tie-breaker value the same they would chop instead of it going to the next tie-breaker. 

I'm going to see what I can do...

can we revisit this if you have time?

Hi Brian,

I totally forgot about the chop option and integrating that in to the tie-breaker changes this year. Unless I run into problems with this feature (i.e. something I'm not thinking about that makes it too much work), I should be able to do something by the start of the season. In case you didn't notice there is a way for you to specify your preferred tie-breakers (just not a "chop" option).  I'll let you know when the option is ready.

Once again thank you for running such a great site!  Still would love to have the secondary tie breaker to be a chop option.

This one is very likely to make it in this year, its bubbled near the top of the list.

If "chop" means that the prize is split after applying the initial total points tiebreaker, I too would like that option for my league. It that still on the TODO list?

And thanks for a great site Fred.

P.S. Just took another look and I see a Chop option, but not a Tie breaker Points + Chop. Could we get the latter?  I think that is what Brian was also asking for above.

I don't think this would be hard to add, I'll see what I can do and get back to you and Brian.

I'm uploading tonight the new feature to set "Tibe-breaker, then Chop Ties" option.

Thanks a bunch for the quick response.  I have updated the settings for my pool and will monitor the results.

Have a great day.
