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.
