SHARES

To avoid splitting shares if two or more players are tied for a pot, we will do the following.

Any shares that can not be evenly split in a full share will go into the SLUSH FUND until WEEK 18.

Then on week 18 all players that were involved in the tied pots will play for the slush fund purse.

Most total wins and then confidence points as the tiebreaker.

1

WEEKLY WINS

Pick the most total wins each week by using the spread and you win.

1st TB Most confidence points that week the 2nd TB if 2 or more players

are tied you must revert back to your previous week or weeks to break tie.

2

WEEKLY CONFIDENCE POINTS

The player with the most total confidence points in each week wins.

1st TB Least wins that week the 2nd TB if 2 or more players are tied you

must revert back to your previous week or weeks to break tie.

3

PARLAY WAGERING

Starting with 100 parlay dollars in each segment ( 6 ) the participant with most

parlay dollars at the end of each segment will win. Remember to wager wisely.

Should you lose all your parlay dollars before the end of the segment you will

be eliminated from further play until the next segment begins. If tied at the

segments end shares will be split.

YEARLY ZAPP

Participant or participants, depending on the week of competition, with

the fewest wins for that given week are eliminated from further play in

this category. All ties will be broken and won by the participant having

the most confidence points in that given week. Should there still be a tie

the previous week's wins, then confidence points will be the tiebreaker.

If still tied after reverting all the way back to week 1 all players will be eliminated.

Elimination's will continue throughout each week until one participant is left.

ROAD TO THE TATERBOWL ( WEEK 17 )

Each player will play each team in his division head to head

for a total of 12 games. EXAMPLE

If you end up week # 1 with 9 wins and your opponent has 6 wins your

record would be ( 1 and 0 ) week # 2 you only get 4 wins that week

but your opponent has 3 wins, your record would be ( 2 and 0 )

The higher confidence points is the tiebreaker should you both have the

same weekly wins. If still tied a tie would be given in the league standings.

Once the playoff teams are finalized the higher seeded player

will advance should a tie occur.
