In the event of a tie for any of the top four prizes, the Challenger with the most accurate prediction for the Championship Game will be declared the winner.  Considerations for determining the most accurate prediction will be as follows, in this order: (1) the correctly predicted winning team, (2) the closest prediction to the absolute value of the point difference in game, regardless of the predicted winning team.  (3) If a tie still cannot be broken after applying these criteria, the prize money will be split. (e.g. 3a) If it is a 2-way tie, the sum of the prize money for both places (e.g. first & second), will be added and divided by 2. (e.g. 3b) If it is a 3-way tie, the sum of the prize money for all three places (e.g. first, second & third), will be added and divided by 3.
