My pool has the tie-breaker set to Last Game of the Week. But, the tiebreaker that was available was TB vs. SF. They aren't playing each other this week. Should have been MN vs. SF.

Hi Jeff... I'm guessing this is a legistics problem in the email. There is already a ticket to fix this because it has caused confusion in the past. So, the site is working properly, but the email with the picks can be consfusing since the abbreviation used for tie-breaker game is TB, which some confuse for Tampa Bay.

One more question about the tiebreaker. Why does it say SF when the settings are 'Last game of the week'? Is it actually going by total points for that game, or only what we thought San Fran would score? All of my participants are confused. Thanks!

It just happens to show the Home Team. There is also a ticket to consider improving this to show both teams. It boils down to space and appearance, but there's been enough confusion to warrant looking at improving this.
