Bill,

You picked less games than pauliswilling, so your percentage is only a reflection of how many you got right out of the games you picked. If I picked 4 games that week, and won them all, I would have a percentage of 100%, but I shouldn't necessarily get 1st place because someone else might have picked 30 games and got 10 right. They would only have a 33.33 win percentage but they still picked 10 games correctly to my 4. As such, ranking in office pools goes by units. Whoever has more units is first and the grading goes down from there. You are tied with pauliswilling for week #1 for units (2500), so the system tie breaks by the timestamp of who got their picks in first, which in this case was pauliswilling.

Hope that clears it up.

 

Lou

That works thanks for the response. It was my fault I just assumed the weekly tie breaker would be the same as the overall tiebreaker since it wasn't stated what the tiebreaker for the week was.
