Yeah, I figure it's better not to include that one for a few reasons. The biggest is that people would have to remember to come back and make predictions after 4 days with no Oracle Challenge, and I'm afraid we'd end up losing a lot of competitors. The second reason is that accepting conditional predictions is a big headache for me in terms of recording the data, so I'd rather just have one match like that (the main bracket final). The third is that it seems cleaner to just exclude the whole Battle Royale instead of including one match out of it. The fourth is that having a 63 match contest instead of 64 keeps the stats more in line with previous contests (SpC2k4 and SC2k4) as well as future contests. And finally, if we decided to have a side contest for the Battle Royale, then the Battle Royale final should be part of that instead of the main contest.
