If someone hits an exact, the closest score under and over will score the points for second place.> Actual Game: [player]-[player] 0-1 45 Participant 1: [player]-[player] 1/2 45 Participant 2: [player]-[player] 0-1 45 Participant 3: [player]-[player] 0-1 44 Participant 4: [player]-[player] 0-1 43 Participant 5: [player]-[player] 0-1 46 Participant 1: No points even though 45 is correct. Results must be correct. If Result is wrong and moves # is correct...you get no points whatsoever Participant 2: 10 pts rewarded for correct Result/moves # Participant 3: 7 pts rewarded for closest under (1st-Under) to 45 moves Participant 4: 6 pts rewarded for the 2nd closest under (2nd-Under) to 45 moves. Participant 5: 3 pts rewarded closest OVER(1st-OVER) to 45 moves. Again, the description of Participant 3, 4, and 5 are based on there being no exact prediction as made by Participant 2. <IF> there is an exact or an under closest, the highest scoring over participant will be 2nd over. The second closest over will be 3rd over. The <ONLY> time there will be a first over is if there is no exact or under winner. Things To Look At: 1.

Nice pun though.      Apr-10-26 Atterdag chessforum    OhioChessFan: <Fortunately, we have almost the same taste.

Mar-10-12    OhioChessFan: <PiPi> yes, I've noticed the inconsistency. Usually when you try to address such matters, a quick change of subjects is in order. I am working on some thoughts about the socialization of public school students. It apparently is perfectly fine to teach children moral lessons just so long as they aren't <too> moral, or <too> religious sounding. Mar-11-12    playground player: <OhioChessFan> What passes for "moral teaching" in the public schools these days is, more often than not, the teaching of immorality.

By the way and on a more serious note, were you affected by the tornators that swept through Ohio and the surrounding vicinity? Mar-25-12    OhioChessFan: No, nothing got all that close to me.

Mar-31-12    PinnedPiece: Kansas v OSU: First half OSU 3-ptrs blazing hot. 34-23 Scorchin the net. Mar-31-12    OhioChessFan: Ohio State's defense was dominant. They really aren't that good a 3 point shooting team so I don't expect that to continue. Inexcusably bad play by Craft to end the half. Mar-31-12    Jim Bartle: OSU dominated completely but an 11-point lead doesn't guarantee anything. But holding Kansas to 23 in a half? They even blocked a three-pointer, which you almost never see. Mar-31-12    OhioChessFan: You never see it any more, but I think Kansas should try a double post. Mar-31-12    PinnedPiece: Oops tied up at 14:00 in 2nd half, 38-38. OSU has hit a mindblock. Mar-31-12    PinnedPiece: Well now, Kansas first lead at 2:40 remaining, could get exciting...
