The smoke has cleared from the intense matchups of NFL Week 2, and the results of our esteemed Pick’em contest are in. Congratulations to our top performers, who demonstrated foresight and strategy in making their picks.
- Jefe de 1969: Con la asombrosa cifra de 13 selecciones correctas y la suma de 23 puntos de desempate.
- BAK: Pisándole los talones con 13 selecciones correctas, complementadas con 22 puntos de desempate.
- David Smith: Llegar a los tres primeros con 13 selecciones correctas y 21 puntos de desempate.
It’s worth noting that this week brought us a 5-way tie for second place. This meant that it was the “el Foley” tie-breaking point which determined the 2nd and 3rd place winners.
Para aquellos que necesitan un recordatorio sobre los puntos de desempate:
- One points is awarded when a player’s pick wins “against the spread.”
- Un punto adicional surge cuando los jugadores deciden correctamente sobre el “más/menos” para un juego en particular.
But what truly set this week apart was “The Foley.” In the spirit of rewarding the early birds of the game, an extra tie-breaking point is awarded to the player who records their picks or makes their last update first. If, for instance, a bunch of players all have 9 picks correct, the one whose picks or updates were recorded earliest in the week gets the extra point. This process is repeated for every group of correct picks, so everyone has an equal shot!
This new dimension was added to celebrate those who, from the get-go, are committed to their choices and don’t waver as the week unfolds. This is in stark contrast to some (mirándote, Ivan Foley), who have a tendency to swap their picks as the games roll on, in a silly bid to confuse or outwit fellow Landmark Columnists and readers.
Once again, a big salute to this week’s victors, and to all our players who bring fun into the Landmark’s Pickem contests. Here’s to another action-packed week ahead!
