Posted Oct 24, 2016 at 8:15 AM In a confidence pool, how many points do you get if the game ends in a tie? Thanks!

Posted Oct 24, 2016 at 8:38 AM I don't know how it is in this pool, but it should be a loss for everybody. That way if you figured it to be a close game, and put a low number on it, you're not penalized as much as someone who thought it would be a blowout. The guy running my pool said everyone gets 2 points. This of course makes no sense. If you give 1 point or a million points, if everyone gets it, it's meaningless.

No points are awarded for a tie. Fred

If he's referring to a pool on this site, then your manager is wrong, no points are awarded. Fred

Funny, I don't recall ever saying anyone gets 2 points. That of course would make no sense. I read 1/2 points but that was for a different format. |
