5. Ties. Entrants are required to submit guesses for tiebreakers in the event of a tie to determine overall or weekly winners. Entrants are allowed (but not required) to submit a predicted score for the tiebreaker game of each week as indicated as such in the selection area. The tiebreaker game is the final game of the week unless otherwise noted. This prediction is used for weekly tiebreaker purposes only. If no predicted score is submitted for an entry, it is given a default prediction of 0 points to 0 points. It is possible for a default prediction to win a tiebreaker. Entrants who begin participation after the start of the Game Period has begun will not receive points for the week(s) they have missed. How are the ties broken? The pool of tied entrants is reduced until three potential winners remain by applying the rules below in the order listed. However, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, elect not to break a tie and instead to award prizes to all eligible winners (or to all eligible winners then remaining after applying one or more tiebreaker rules).
OVERALL TIEBREAKERS:
Tiebreaker #1 - Higher number of points scored for Week 13
Tiebreaker #2 - Higher number of points scored for Week 12
Tiebreaker #3 - Higher number of points scored for Week 11
Tiebreaker #4 - Higher number of points scored for Week 10
Tiebreaker #5 - Higher number of points scored for Week 9
Tiebreakers will continue backwards from week nine (9) until week one (1).
