Thank you, there can only be (and must be)  one winner so my challenge is now to arrive at a  a probability of each of the competitors which totals 100%.

Question; Given a sutuation where 3 individuals are competing for a prize...and the prize must be awarded to one of the three, must the sum of the assigned probability of all competitors equal 100%? Or, is there supporting math  theory which indicates that the individual probability sums can exceed 100%, if so why.
