TIE-BREAK FORMAT
The tie breaker is determined by the lowest sum of the two absolute value differences. What the hell does that mean? Here's some examples....
In this entirely hypothetical scenario, Duke is playing Kentucky for the National Championship
In addition there is a tie in the FBC between Pete Davidson and Kanye West
77-74 Duke
82-73 Duke
EXAMPLE #1
If the final score were to be 80-70 for Villanova....
Pete's Score would be 7
Subtract the prediction from the actual score and take the absolute values
Duke - 80-77= 3
Kentucky-70-74=|-4|= 4
Then add the differences
3+4=7
Kayne's score would be 5
Duke - 82-80=2
Kentucky- 70-73=|-3|=3
2+3=5
Pete 7 Kanye 5.
Kayne West would win.
EXAMPLE #2
If the score is 75-70 Duke.....
Duke 77-75= 2
Kentucky 74-70= 4
2+4=6
Duke 82-75= 7
Kentucky 72-73=1
7+1=8
Pete 6 Kanye 8.
EXAMPLE #3
If there is another tie....
We go to closest combined final score. This might seem outlandish but this actually happened in 2018. It was pretty nuts
153
151
If the combined final score is 152, we will have Co-Champions. Kanye and Pete will spilt the winnings.
