Episode 3 Elimination Picks and Reminders

We are 2 days away from the next episode, so I wanted to remind you all about ELIMINATION PICKS. Last week we had 16 people submit picks, and 8 of you earned extra points. Right now, we have a tie for 4th, 10th, 11th (3-way), 12th (4-way), and last place. These picks are a great way to pad your score and help with tie breakers, which brings me to my next point.

In the event that the season ends in a tie, I will be using the number of times you submitted elimination picks as a first tie breaker, and the earned elimination points as a second tie breaker. 

Team Hayley and Team Paige have the same exact roster, so it would be to your advantage to submit picks at least a few times over the season.

As a reminder this is how Elimination Points work:

• Elimination Points: Players will be given 50 points on a weekly basis to wager across any number of Bachelorettes on who will NOT receive a rose at the rose ceremony. For example: If you place 10 points on Bachelorette X in week 2 and she does not receive a rose in week 2, 10 points will be added to your season total. If Bachelorette X leaves on her own volition or is asked to leave prior to the rose ceremony you will not earn any elimination points. If she is not eliminated you will not gain any points, nor will you lose points. You may place all of your points on one contestant or spread them out across several. Points DO NOT rollover. You will not be penalized any points in the event that you do not submit any elimination picks. You are still eligible to submit elimination picks if some or all of your team has been eliminated from earning Standard Points. You may only wager whole points, no partial points will be accepted.

Picks are due MONDAY BY 7:59 PM EST IN WRITING.

Lastly, there is a scoring update. Apparently my excel spreadsheet sorted incorrectly, so if you actually looked closely at score sheet posted on the blog, you'd have noticed that Team Jess M is actually in 2nd Place and Team Dave is in 3rd Place. Team Lisa J and Team Jes S are tied for 4th and Team Julia is in 5th.
