This past week we had a score of 46 points on Monday night.  We had two people with 13 picks right each.  One of them had 48 point and the other had 44 points.  This would be a tie generally.  The website gave the win to the player with 48 points.  I was also wondering why I can't go back and see the previous weeks picks.

 

Thanks

Hi Les,

Just click on the week number above the standings to view a prior week. To see how tie-breakers work, click on the Rules link and the tie-breakers are explained at the bottom of the page.  In the case of Michael, he had a better Strength of Victory so he's the winner.

Thanks Fred,

Is there a way to take of strength and do it straight points?

Thanks

No problem. Currently the tie-breakers are set in stone and not programmable by league managers. Note however that I believe that Strength of Victory is better as a tie-breaker than total accumuldated wins for weekly winners, since SoV gives a better barometer for how they did that week, as opposed to how they are performing over the course of a season.
