I've got a few Oracle Post-Its all over the place but can't seem to find the time to do it...

Comments on the new idea:
1) Is it an okay idea? The concept is great.
2) What improvements would you suggest? Having a robot update the scores...>_>
3) Is it something you'd consider participating in? Quite obviously yessssssss.
4) Would you consider running it? Not a chance in hell.

Player's point of view:
Amazingidea, I had thought of something like that (predicting all matchesbeforehand) but never bothered to put the idea on paper, seemed tocomplicated. Nice to see someone come up with a clear and conciseconcept for it! I would definitely enter the challenge and thename sounds just right. I like the idea of the extrapolated standings,but that may be my host-side taking over. More below.

Host's point of view:
Thisis where it'll hurt. First, you need to know it'll be worse than youthink ;). Second, no if statements/multi predictions. EVER. That wouldforce the host to update appropriate predictions, daily, every singleday. Extrapolated predictions would be a wonderful idea, updating-wise,as it'd allow the host to enter extrapolated standings for allentrants, and use VLOOKUP's to look for the entrants' predictions fortoday's match. Instead of figuring it out every day, by hand.

Updatingthese things is a pain, and every effort has to be made to make thehost's work bearable. As for the scoring system, the ideal IMO would bethe standard scoring system, with a 50% penalty is you don't have thematch winner in that match, a 75% penalty if you don't have the matchloser in that match, a 90% penalty if you don't have either character,applied to your extrapolated prediction. Needless to say it'd be prettyunupdatable, so I'd settle for classic score if you have the entrants,0 if you don't.
