Strange AlertView Behavior - ios6

Question

This is what is happening....
I am making a game where by the end of the challenge a customized UIAlert shows saying if the player wins or loses. The problem is... that message is displaying twice and I have no idea why....
-(void)checkOnTests{
int p1sc;
int p1t;
int p2sc;
int p2t;
// IN BETWEEN, SCORES ARE CHECKED AND THEY ARE FINE
if (p1sc > p2sc) {
NSLog(#"P1 Wins");
winnerIndex = 1; // (INT)
if (playerIndex == winnerIndex) {
self.lbl_plyer_score.textColor = [UIColor greenColor]; //WINS
self.lbl_opponent_score.textColor = [UIColor redColor]; //LOSES
[self finishChallengeWherePlayer:YES amtOfGold:2];
}else{
self.lbl_plyer_score.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
self.lbl_opponent_score.textColor = [UIColor greenColor];
[self finishChallengeWherePlayer:NO amtOfGold:0];
}
}else if (p1sc < p2sc){
winnerIndex = 2;
NSLog(#"P2 Wins");
if (playerIndex == winnerIndex) {
self.lbl_plyer_score.textColor = [UIColor greenColor];
self.lbl_opponent_score.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
[self finishChallengeWherePlayer:YES amtOfGold:2];
}else{
self.lbl_plyer_score.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
self.lbl_opponent_score.textColor = [UIColor greenColor];
[self finishChallengeWherePlayer:NO amtOfGold:0];
}
}else if (p1sc == p2sc){
NSLog(#"We got a tie match");
winnerIndex = 3;
if (((p1t == 0) && (p2t == 0)) || (p1t == p2t)) {
[self finishChallengeWherePlayer:YES amtOfGold:1];
}else if (p1t < p2t){
[self finishChallengeWherePlayer:YES amtOfGold:2];
}else if (p1t > p2t){
[self finishChallengeWherePlayer:YES amtOfGold:1];
}
}
}
The code above checks on results. So far everything is correct. No errors.
Below I implement the code where the message displays to the player telling if they win or lose the challenge.
-(void)finishChallengeWherePlayer:(BOOL)wins amtOfGold:(int)amt {
NSString *endMsg;
if (wins) {
endMsg = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Congrats! You win the challenge, gaining: %i gold", amt];
}else{
endMsg = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Oh No! You have lost the challenge. No gold for you"];
}
GameAlert *alert = [[GameAlert alloc] initWithTitle:#"Results" message:endMsg delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show]; // this is my custom UIAlertView that is working fine throughout the game.
[self.delegate challengeFinished:amt testname:linker];
}
The only thing that This view controller is doing differently from the rest of the game is in the box below:
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
My question is... Do I really have to tell the delegate that the challenge is over only after i dismiss this ViewController or am I doing something wrong here ? The alert is showing twice and I feel like a fool :(
