What happens when I remove a tied question from my watch list?

Will I still get points if my answer is chosen as best answer in a tie breaker even though off my watch list?

    The watch list doesn't affect whether you get best answer or not. When I have answered a question and it goes into voting, I vote and then delete it from my watch list. Last week, I got best answer on a question that had been in tiebreaker status for 7 months.

    A question doesn't have to be on your watch list for you to get points, you will get the points no matter what if it is chosen. The watch list is there so if you see someone else ask a question you want to know the answer to you can follow it through.

    The watch list is a method for you to list Question you want to keep track on. It does nothing else. Remove the question and it simply disappears from the list and effects nothing else.
