Tie-breaker: If no player wins the pool outright, then the tie-breaker is determined by the closest prediction to the total final score (both teams combined) in the National Championship Game. Players will enter a prediction on the bracket picksheet. If the tie-breaker does not determine the winner, a random drawing will be used to break the tie.
Prizes: The Top Ten Players (i.e. highest point scores) and other interested parties are eligible to win SPL T-shirts. No purchase is necessary to win a prize. T-Shirt prizes must be claimed by e-mail by May 10, 2008. For complete rules, go here.
