2017 NFL Winner-Takes-All Picks: Week 16

ats-david (74)in #sports • 7 years ago

With only two weekends left in the regular season, the Winner-Takes-All playoff contenders are finishing strong!

It was a close week for the WTA, with 13 contestants finishing at a perfect 5 – 0 for the contest. Several playoff hopefuls were in the mix but one person came out on top and put themselves in contention. The contest went to the first tiebreaker, which was the Monday night game that finished with a 24 – 21 Falcon victory over the Buccaneers. The WTA winner, with a perfect total point prediction of 45 for the game, was @vicspics!

Congratulations to @vicpics on the close win in Week 14 and for keeping their playoff hopes alive as the regular season winds down!

The pot for the weekly contest was 42 SBD. The rewards for the winner have been transferred and you can verify the transfer in my Steem wallet.

Here is the list of contestants who finished with perfect records for the week, with their points in parentheses. Please remember that all weekly records will carry over for the season contest.

Contest Rules

1 – Contestants must choose one winner for each of the selected games. Contestants can only enter one weekly submission per account. The use of multiple accounts may result in disqualification and permanent blacklisting. Submissions must be entered prior to the first scheduled game time. LATE SUBMISSIONS OR EDITS MADE TO SUBMISSIONS AFTER THE START OF THE FIRST GAME WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE CONTEST – NO EXCEPTIONS.

2 – Contestants must choose point totals for each of the Monday and Sunday night games. If there are two or more contestants with the same amount of correct picks for the week, then the contestant closest to the game point totals will be the winner. Monday night games will be the first tie-breaker and Sunday night games will be the second tie-breaker. (For the weeks when there are not one game being played on each night, special tie-break rules will be mentioned and applied.) If contestants are still tied after the tie-breakers have been applied, then the contestant who submitted their picks first will be the winner.

3 – The weekly Winner-Takes-All records of contestants will accumulate throughout the regular season to determine a WTA season winner. TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SEASON CONTEST, CONTESTANTS MUST PARTICIPATE IN A MINIMUM OF SEVEN (7) WEEKLY WTA CONTESTS. Contestants that have four (4) or more identical selections (picks and points) of other users will not be eligible for the season contest. The three (3) contestants with the best season records will share the season pot, divided as follows:

Place	Reward Percentage
First	60%
Second	25%
Third	15%

At the end of the regular season, the top 8 contestants will be eligible for a playoff contest with the top 12 contestants from the Steem Fantasy Football League, managed by @bigpchef and @sevinwilson. If a WTA contestant is already in the playoff via the SFFL final standings, then the next contestant down the list will be selected until the playoff league is filled. Contestants and rules will be announced at the conclusion of the WTA regular season.

Post Rewards and Payouts

The full SBD rewards from each of the weekly posts will be dedicated to the weekly contest payouts, seasonal payouts, and my fantasy sports development fund. These rewards will be divided as follows:

Fund	Percentage
Weekly	60%
Season	20%
FSD	20%

Good luck to everyone!
