*** Official CatsIllustrated Kentucky vs Illinois State OOC Prediction Contest ***

Congrats to @wfm101981 for the 2nd straight game having the best prediction. @blubo and @Jazzycat still lead the points contest. Remember that this contest goes through the Gonzaga game. Look for SEC Regular Season Contests starting with Florida soon. That means we'll have two contests active at the same time until the Gonzaga game. Scores start over at 0 for the SEC Regular Season Contest.

Ty. Got lucky lol
 
Host. Question. When there's a tie.. for example in Illinois State game... there was 3 way tie for 5th place. U awarded all the ties 6 pts. Shouldn't it be the average of all. For example 3 slots. 6 5 4 ... the average is 5. Shouodnt all 3 ties have gotten 5 points and not 6.

Well, that's one way of looking at it. I look at it as all of them were tied for 5th place and got 5th place points.

Yes but anytime it's a point based competition it's supposed to be based on average. I mean it is what it is I'm just sayn ya know

I wrote the code that I use to run the contests in perl. If you know perl, I can give you the source and you can change it and run the contests when I retire or get retired.

Lol. I'm not savvy with stuff like that. All I meant was the scoring system on tie is off but it's not a big deal.

Old Red, love your prediction contests and zero problems with how you choose to score it. It is yours and I appreciate you running it. Makes game days more fun.

@Old_Red just a FYI but, none of my entries in the OOC contest have been reflected in the results. I posted a prediction in all but one or two games. It's just for fun so, not that important but, wanted you to know.

Really? I hadn't noticed anything in my reports of the predictions. I'll try to look at it.

You didn't pick predict in this one, right?
 
I've got you in the North Carolina, UNC-Wilmington, Penn, Miami FL, Marshall, St Josephs, Stonehill, Kansas, Texas A&M Commerce, and New Mexico State. I don't have a prediction nor do I see one in Louisville or Illinois State. Is that about right?

Yes, I picked the Illinois State game because I remember thinking my predicted score was just pulled out of thin air. Hadn't looked at the spread. But, it isn't in the thread now. Weird.
And I hadn't seen my username on the list of results for the last 4-5 games either.
Like I said, it isn't important. Just for fun.
I'll pay closer attention with the conference pick 'em contest starting on Sat. Thanks for looking into it.

Your name is on the list in all the games I posted.
