The contest has been tough the last few weeks, but season records are still accumulating and leaders are starting to emerge.
In week five of the 2017 NFL season and the Winner-Takes-All contest, a new contestant broke onto the scene with a perfect 5 – 0 record...and took home the victory for the week! This contestant, @alixs, was the only perfect record for the week, so no tiebreakers were necessary. Eleven other contestants had a record of 4 – 1 this week. So congratulations to @alixs for the perfect picks!
The pot for the weekly contest was 42 SBD. The rewards for the winner have been transferred and you can verify the transfer in my Steem wallet.
These are the current leaders based on contestants who have participated in at least four of the first five weeks of the season.

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!
Special thanks to @blocktrades for their continued support of these sports contests!
