TIE-BREAKER PROPOSAL So, we now have a 5-way tie for first place, and none of us have any teams left to pick from. We can leave it at a 5-way tie (and the Philimination Game is over), or we can do a tie-breaker. I have a couple of ideas to do a tie-breaker, if anyone is interested. After you've read the tie-breaker ideas, the five players currently tied for first may vote on what we want to do. I want to give everyone a chance to get back in here, read this thread, and vote. So I'll say I need your votes by midnight on Friday November 26 (ie, if Saturday November 27 rolls around on the Board's time stamp, you're too late ). Majority rules. When you vote, you'll vote for two questions: 1. How would you like this game to end? Choose either A or B: A: I am satisfied having a 5-way tie for first place B: I want to go with a tie-breaker. 2. If we go with a tie-breaker, which proposal do you prefer? A: Proposal A (read below) B: Proposal B (read below) TIE-BREAKER PROPOSAL A Each player ranks the remaining 4 teams in the order they think they will place through the end of the Race. We'll get points based on how accurate we are: 10 points for correctly guessing First Place, 8 points for correctly guessing Second Place, 6 points for correctly guessing Third Place, 4 points for correctly guessing Fourth Place. Deadline for picks Sunday November 28, before the first airing of the show: 5PM TVCH Board Time (8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific). There would still be a possible tie within the remaining 5 players, depending on how we all pick. TIE-BREAKER PROPOSAL B Each of us picks a team to "champion" (or partner up with) through the end of the Race. Picks for teams are on a first-come/first serve basis. Meaning once someone else chooses a team, the rest of us has to pick another team. There's no chance of a tie for 1-5 this way. Now, with 4 teams to choose from, and 5 of us still in the hunt, that means someone will the the "odd man out." If 4 people beat you to the punch and post before you, and there are no teams left to choose from, you are automatically in 5th place for the Philimination Game. To give everyone a fair chance at reading this thread, knowing about the "first-come/first-serve" rule, and getting here and picking your team, there will only be a 24-hour window in which picks will be accepted. Picks will be accepted no sooner than Saturday, November 27 at 5PM TVCH Board Time (8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific); and no later than Sunday, November 28 TVCH Board Time (8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific). In the event we are all posting our picks at the same time, the Board Stamp Time rules, and whichever order the posts appear in on the board is the official "first-come/First-serve" order. In case we are all posting our picks at the same time, please post your picks like this" First choice: Second choice: Third choice: Fourth choice: I'll officially "assign" each player a team based on the order your post appears, and which of your choices are still available. Of course, if you see that someone has already beaten you to one of the teams, you may as well just post your choices of the teams that are left.

OK then. B it is. I like B cause its simple and clear cut. Whatever place your team comes in, you do too. And I don't have to worry about tallying and adding up scores. LOL. Remember: Picks will be accepted no sooner than Saturday, November 27 at 5PM TVCH Board Time (8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific); and no later than Sunday, November 28 TVCH Board Time (8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific). Here's the teams you have to pick from: Brooke/Claire Jill/Thomas Nat/Kat Nick/Vicki Good luck!

AFAIK, yes the TVCH Board time is in fact Pacific time. For instance, right now its 8:15 Mountain time. When I post, let's see what the Board Time is. It should show up as 7:15...... ETA: OK, so I was a minute off. I was actually just rounding it out to the quarter hour.

Jasper I am sure you will be on before me. I will be at the hockey game Saturday night so I will only be home at 11EST/8PST. That gives you a three hour window. Maybe I can teach to dog to post in my absence.

Pippin04, but I wouldn't be too sure, I often forget what timezone I live in. It is one of those brainfreeze things for me. Don't ask me why I have no idea.

I'll take Nat and Kat (boy first pick!). Actually you should all feel sorry for me sitting home alone at 8pm on a Saturday. Poor dh had to work and has been stuck on his second detour, first an accident, second a night time Xmas parade.

Well, five minutes to go, and no sign of Kappy. So I guess I'll snag up the last team and pick Jill/Thomas. Sorry Kappy.
