Prediction game tie-breakers

[hawkwing]

So, obviously there are going to be ties sometimes when you predict who will have the most points, assists, etc. In terms of this game however, there can only be one answer. Thanks to MARS for bringing this up. How should we handle the tie breakers? For now, I'm thinking the person with the next highest number in the next question should be the tie breaker.

Ie, Question 12 is: Which player will score the most?
so if there is a tie, the player with the highest # in Question 13 will be the tie breaker... question 13 is Which player will have the most assists?
if this is a tie, then the next question, and so on.

Can't they both be right?

I mean, the question is who will score the most, so if there is a tie, in my mind they are both the correct answer, and I'm not too keen on a points question being determined by assists and so on. Then again, I'm not the guy coding this, and I have no idea how easy that would be to work in.

Sorry.

I'm a moron and just now read the part where you said you can't have more than one correct answer. That's why you get all the ladies and I am forced to live a monogamous lifestyle.

My idea was, in case of a tie, go with the guy that had more the prior game. At least, that's how I determine who putts first each hole in mini golf.

I'm happy with either options, or frankly anything that makes sense! I'd just like it to make sense.

If we are actually guessing the score as well I think that is a enough of tie breaker unless two people are tied at the end of the season.

Emery and Fredette tied for most steals today- both had 2 steals against Idaho State.
Emery had 1 steal in their last game against Bradley; Fredette had 0.
Tie-breaker goes to Emery.

I plan to keep on doing tie-breakers this way if there are no objections.

Do it however you want, because either way it's gonna cost me a bunch this season. Whatever way you choose, it will be the other way that would have given me the points...
