I voted and I liked the question about the show in Vegas... actually the answer I picked rather than the question. I hope it was yours but the answer I pcked was the detailed one that spoke of the show being kid-friendly, I think it's important to let people know that just in case there are children.

This is getting hysterical, Sports Fan 123 asks questions like "How is boxing scored?", "Can Someone Explain To Me How Proffesional Boxing Works?", or "Is there a 'Regular Season' in boxing?". But he knows enough now to tell you this fight is "Awesome!" Later today he'll be giving a conference on Molecular Instability. Because it's "Awesome!" (ps Fan 123 there's only one "f" in Professional, maybe you should become a "fan" of Webster's Dictionary).

Tie-breakers.  I don't know the whole break down of the whole thing.  Heard it on ESPN Sportcenter.

I totally completely agree with you. a few minutes after i got on the site, i was amazed at the questions being asked. i was like, "this is unbelievable." lots of them were very inappropriate. lots of them were also needing-help questions. like homework, friends and family, but their should be a limit to all this. \ni like to answer appropriate questions, and ask them too. but i stay away from and ignore inappropriate ones. if my mom were to see all the stuff on this website, she would seriously flip and ban me from this site. \n\npersonally, i believe there should be separate yahoo answers: adult, teenage, 9-14-year-olds, and 7-8-year-olds. \nfor your little one, the 8 year old, i suggest you to block this site in case she has seen it, and tell her about the dangers of being on this site.\n\nanyway, i completely agree with you, and sometimes i know parents can be over-protective, but they are mostly right.\nletting children explore the internet and it's useful resources is one thing, and going on sites that you may accidentally give out information about yourself to strangers is another. completely.\n\ngood luck!\n(you are one of the most caring moms i have heard from. :) ---i'm glad you brought upn this topic so people can see your point of view and others about this site)

I don't know...Thanks for the two points!\n\n\n\nLOL, Seriously if they are treating this as a game, and trying to get points, wouldn't you think the highest percentage of "Best Answers"  would take the prize?  As if there was one?  I've never understood those people, but then again, I don't understand 90% of the people here...guess that's what keeps me coming back for more!

Cardinals...no reason why, why try to justify an opinion based question?\n\nAs of May 10, the Cardinals are tied for 1st place and ahead of the Astros by 2 games...need I say more?

Do something that the judges can learn from.  Those are always winners.  For example, some one the projects that won in my location are:  Who makes the strongest fishing line?  Out of all the towns in you county, what town has the cleanest drinking water?  What color of roof keeps a home the warmest/coolest?  You can find some good ideas off of the internet.

I went into the forum and there are alot of people complaining because their questions are not coming up.  Some of them are losing points some how, 1 person ended up with like 3000 points and said that they hadn't even come close to earning that many.  Others are not getting their points for answering questions.  Apparently they change the program or some darn thing (on the 15th) and they are still working the bugs out.  I was having a rough time trying to answer questions because the answer box wasn't coming up for me.\n\nHope this answers your questions.  They are supposed to be working on all the problems.  lol

I totally feel the same way! That's why I never put my questions to a vote. I always pick an answer myself. Besides, whenever questions are put to a vote, you can tell people just go through and vote for the first answer. And the first answer is usually the shortest answer, and not someone who put much thought into the answer. (I'm not insulting the answer above me, btw! I mean that a lot of times the first answer is 'yes' or 'no' which is not very helpful.) Maybe my answers are a bit long, but I'm just trying to put some thought into it!

Actually, the head-to-head fantasy baseball game does have ties.  My league has 10 categories.  If I lead in 5, we tie in one category, my record is 5-4-1.\n\nThe league standings disregard the ties, looking only at winning percentage.  My percentage above would be .555\n\nSince I found this question under "Fantasy Sports", I felt it was safe to assume this is what you meant.

Shoot your question !!!

There where 3 ppl in a race. Yet the first one to get to the end would loose. By the middle of the race #773 and th 2 other bikers were tired and thirsty, so they took a break. All of a sudden #773 stood up and the others started racing after him. # 773 won the race. HOW?\nAnswer: He took the bike of one of the racers and sped back toward the end making the bike of the other racer loos and the person who had taken his bike came in last, in other words making him the winner.\n\nI know this is ridiculous but u said to try and help!

Yes, perhaps that is a good idea. I can't tell you how many times I've seen questions about the sexual functions of a person spelled badly, and put out in a slightly less than mature fashion. And then there's questions with American Idol, and on the Games section the questions about Crapdom Hearts won't stop coming. With all the questions on these topics, it makes you wonder why some people don't just keep the five points and go find a resolved question that is similar to theirs.

That's three questions. That is unfair. You should be handing out fifteen points for those questions, yet you only give out five. This is not fair for the rest of us who willingly give our points away for our questions. You're cheap, really, really, cheap.

haha\nsometimes i do that. there'll be a yes or no question up and if im lazy ill just type in one or the other without an explanation or my reasoning, etc.\nbut sometimes, when its a topic i really know a lot about, and im almost sure i can get those 10 pts for the best answer, i try my best to do so. after all, yahoo answers is here to help people =]\nso to answer ur question, answer them seriously when you want, but be selective. if its a serious question, don't answer with a stupid response, because that'll make the questioner feel bad about themselves. if its a silly one, by all means, respond with a silly answer! you might even get "best answer" because it was the funniest one! ((its happened to me!))

Me too - I get really sick of people criticizing your questions and the way you ask them and then going: "2 POINTS!" I know that my question may be opinion based, but you don't have to answer in really rude tones, before ending it off with: "Thanks for the 2 points!", it's not just annoying but it's a waste of time for both me and you. So why don't save us the stupidity, and don't answer if you haven't got an opinion or a thought. This is not all about making the points...
