2017 NFL Winner-Takes-All Picks: Week 2
The first week of the Winner-Takes-All is in the books!
In our first week of action, the WTA contest had 64 participants and eight perfect records of 5 – 0. After the first tie-breaker, only two contestants remained – @barcalogia and @chops316 – after guessing the exact number of points scored in the Chargers-Broncos game (45). For the second tie-breaker, @barcalogia chose 52 points and @chops316 chose 42 points. The point total for the Saints-Vikings game was 48, which gave the tie-breaker and the win to @barcalogia.
The pot for the weekly contest was 41 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 with perfect records in Week 1. 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. 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, I will announce a potential playoff contest for a minimum of 8 top contestants throughout the season. The potential playoff format and rules have not been determined at this time, so watch for future updates.
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% |
