Two funerals and then Presbytery. I'm getting to it.

 

[SolaScriptura]

Just curious who won week 5...

 

[Edward]

Zach and Kainos tied, both got the tiebreaker right, but Zach edged out the win on the point differential

Zach 8

Kainos 8

Sola Scriptura 7
ToddKPedlar 7
Earl 7
MGKortus 7

Gulf Coast 6

Frosty 5

Marcus 4
Edward 4

 

[Steve Curtis]

How does the tiebreaker work? Zach said Marshall would win by 4, I said they'd win by 21, and they won by 20. Just curious...

 

[Edward]

How does the tiebreaker work?

There's a hidden mathematical formula that I don't fully understand (I inherited it from a predecessor), but it works on the differential both on the winning and losing score.

Actual Marshall 27 ODU 7
Formula example =SQRT(G39*2+G40*2) Where G39 and G40 represent the differences in the two numbers picked by the participant
