The Winner-Takes-All contestants came roaring back to life in Week 7!

Last week’s game selections for Week 7 of the 2017 NFL season and the Winner-Takes-All contest gave us quite a competition for the weekly pot! There were 19 perfect 5 – 0 records for the contestants this week and another 23 contestants finished with 4 – 1 records. Among the perfect records were two contestants duking it out at the top: @ratticus and @sadpanda. In the first tie-breaker, both contestants selected 57 points for the Redskins-Eagles match-up, which ended with 58 total points scored in the game. In the second tie-breaker, @ratticus selected 55 points and @sadpanda selected 60 points for the Falcons-Patriots game, which ended with only 30 points scored between the two teams.

So this week’s winner is @ratticus! Congratulations to them on their victory in Week 7!

The pot for the weekly contest was 40 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 tied at 5-0 in Week 7, with tie-breakers 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. 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%

Good luck to everyone!
