Most of the veteran SCFers know how our GTS games work but for our new members, here are the rules and tiebreakers, all in one post.

Just about every day an SCF staffer will pick one or more games in various sports where you can attempt to guess the score and win some SCF CardCash (http://www.sportscardforum.com/showthread.php?t=102458). This game is free to play. All members and staff are eligible to play.

SCF GTS Rules

1) Post the correct winning team and the closest score to win (over & under worth same amount). Posts may not be edited. Edited posts will be disqualified. If you make a mistake in your post, then simply state why you want to change your guess, along with the revised guess in a new post by the deadline. Valid reasons include:
My guess was already posted previously by another member (someone posted the same guess 2 seconds before I did--drat!)
I made a typo (I meant to type 5, not 55--darn keyboard!)
I put the wrong team (Why did I think New England would be playing Golden State?)2) Guesses must be posted by the stated deadline (all posts are time stamped). For example, if the deadline is 8:00 pm Eastern/5:00 Pacific, then any guess posted at 8:01 pm Eastern/5:01 Pacific or after will be void.

3) Scores will be on a first come, first serve basis with no repeating of scores. Check that thread's previous guesses to make sure no one has already posted the score that you want to post.

4) Only one guess per member.

Tiebreakers

Tiebreaker #1: Winner is person who guesses exact score of winning team
Tiebreaker #2: Winner is person who guesses exact score of losing team
Tiebreaker #3: Winner is person who's guess comes closest to exact score of winning team without going over it
Tiebreaker #4: Winner is person who's guess comes closest to exact score of losing team without going over it
Tiebreaker #5: Winner is person who's guess comes closest to exact score of winning team going over
Tiebreaker #6: Winner is person who's guess comes closest to exact score of losing team going over

Also, you can go to the CONTEST & TRIVIA ARCHIVES FORUM and see past GTS games and see how the winner is determined. If you have any questions, you can PM me or the SCF staffperson who is running a particular GTS game.

So, go to the GAMES AND CONTESTS FORUM, and look for our GTS games we are running. Post your score, and the winning team by the deadline, and we will take it from there to determine the winner. Good luck!
