I think the board went down shortly after Subgod posted.....not sure it would be fair to the other two contestents to eliminate them because they didn't get their pick in.

I agree. I spoke with the host earlier and they indicated that they were having server issues. The first time we spoke it was going to be down for an hour, but I called them 3 hours later because access was intermittent and they stated the engineers were working on the server still. Maybe we'll conclude the out of conference pick'em with the bracket busters? I'll look at the schedule and see what we can do.

Sorry SubGod22.

edit - I guess this actually works to your advantage

Here is the final contest criteria - we will use the initial MVC conference games on 12/29 to wrap this up.

Select a winner for each of the 5 games and submit a tiebreaker answer. Whoever selects the most winners correctly will be the Pick'em champion.

Bradley at Indiana State
Evansville at Wichita State
Missouri State at Northern Iowa
Creighton at Illinois State
Southern Illinois at Drake

Tie breaker - What will be the total combined points of both teams in the highest scoring MVC game on 12/29. Need not select which game, simply the total number of points that both teams combine to score. For example, if you believe the SIU vs Drake game will be 100-99, your answer would be 199.

Good luck.

Whoa, I didn't even realize we all had the same picks. I just made my picks and went with em. Kinda sucks that all 3 of us would have to be decided by a total points tiebreaker. Oh well. It is what it is. I would like to change my tiebreaker to 148 and I may change a pick before gametime.

[SubGod22]

I hadn't looked at either of your picks. I just can't find reason to pick any other teams in this one. I guess I need to hope for some lower scoring games to win this

[MSUDuo]

Well that is no fun. I actually had to think about the MSU/UNI, CU/ISU, and BU/ISU games. I could see those being close games and going either way...
