Tie-Breaker rules not being applied correctly

1) Total Wins.

2) If Wins are tied then Win Percentage is the first tie-breaker.


WHY am I seeing these rules constantly violated???


Example: 

Joe Blow has a record of 101-54-1 with a win percentage of 65.16 and is in 2nd Place.

Joe Smoe has a record of 101-52-2 with a win percentage of 66.01 yet he is listed as 3rd place.

Somebody please enlighten me.

d'faq?

Nobody else getting skewed too?

Nobody cares???

WTF???

Perhaps everyone is being kind enough to not suggest that there is a slight possibility that your interpretation of the rules is not exactly correct.

It's a race.  A race to 200 wins.  That's all.  If you were running a real race, finishing 2nd by a nose but had zig-zagged all over the place, you would have run faster and still lost.  I've suffered thru the frustration of ties too, as I'm sure almost everyone has from time to time.  Just like life, it all comes out even in the end - we all finish in the same place.

Doesn't it go by something silly like what time you made your last winning pick?  That makes no sense to me.  Seems like you would go by number of wins and then winning percentage or number of losses of something like that.

It's still BS.  I made a pick this morning on a 7pm game that finished and won before anybody else.  And STILL lost a place in the standings pending my other three picks.

WTF??? 

I think the tie breakers are only for the final standings. The list is like the college football standings were this year, only the final one is relevant.   

Tie Breakers

The race will officially end after 50 participants have reached the 200-win mark. Throughout the race, the following tie breaker will be used to rank users on the overall leaderboard in the event that multiple users are tied with a specific number of wins. If multiple users are tied, the earliest start time of their last winning pick (game) will be used as the tie breaker (time as listed on the pending page). As the second tie breaker, if users remain tied, the earliest pick time that each of the contestants entered with their last winning pick will be used to determine the leader. This will be determined by a time stamp recorded when each pick is submitted.

I picked the earliest game, 7;00PM, as many did BUT I put my last winning pick in at 12:00AM and 5 seconds this morning.

Apparently fast enough to beat everybody to claim 5th place.

I was right behind you, Goose, in 6th. Was a struggle down the stretch. Congrats.
