* - Won via tiebreaker
Rules:
1. If you do not pick a team for the first day of the contest, you can't join midway through, you'll have to wait
       for the next game to start.  Look for the word *NEW* in the thread title.
2. Anyone can join, just pick which team you think will lose, you cant pick that team again for 2 weeks.
3. When a new game starts your prior picks are erased and you can choose from any of the teams again.
4. Once you pick a winning team, you're considered a loser, please leave ;)
5. Your pick must be in before that particular game starts.
6. If you do not submit a pick for a given day, it will be counted as a loss, errr, a win, and you will be eliminated.
7. If there is a day with less than 3 games on the schedule, we skip that day and pick things up the day after.
8. Once we get to the final 2 players, a couple of new rules are thrown in…
    a. Your pick cannot be posted more than 24 hours before that game starts.
    b. The two finalists cannot have the same picks, first come first serve.
-Tiebreaker -  amongst the teams you've picked, sum up their losses on the season.  That is how you get 
       your tiebreaker number.  The lower the better, it rewards you for picking better teams and staying away 
       from the bad teams.  If there is ever a day where everyone picks a winner, the tiebreaker will eliminate 
       every remaining player who doesn't have the lowest number (there may still be 2 or more people with 
       identical tiebreakers, so they'd keep playing another day)

So who won? We had one no pick and one winner. I mean, if Little M had picked any team at all, he would have won. Weird.

Hmmm...This requires some careful reasoning (otherwise known as sophistry).

Species picked a team that won. That's not good; but it didn't automatically eliminate him. If Little M had also picked a winner, then it would have gone to the tiebreaker. So, reconstructing the situation, as we wait for Little M's pick, Species is still alive.

But Little M didn't pick. Under rule 6 he is eliminated.

Little M was eliminated before Species. Species wins.

That is only my own interpretation and really is of no weight whatsoever. Do not destroy your tickets before the results are declared official.

Little M wasn't eliminated, however, until the start of the last game of the night, 10:30 pm EST. The Florida/Carolina game having ended 27 minutes earlier, I think Species was eliminated before Little M was.

I make the final decision...Rule 6 overpowers Rule 4.

Species loses.

New game on Saturday (got that Taxman?) :)

Sorry about the "no pick". Really busy at work yesterday and then ran out of the office for Halloween and I forgot to make a pick.

Re #9: Sometimes, it appears, that you can be a loser just by doing nothing!
