I think maybe there could just be an "Average" leaderboard featured prominently on the navigation? With maybe min predictions being 3/4 of matches up to that point or something. This feature should be easier to code than most (though it would still take the time and effort of our noble Oracle overlords).

The one feature that I'd love more than anything is an all-time average %ile standings (e.g., if you placed 40th out of 80 entries your %ile would like 50). That would show above all other things how skilled you really are. But that would be a bit more time consuming probably.

I could see something being done about the Average board but I wouldn't know where to put it exactly under the current setup....it's something that could be done rather easily though...

As for the percentiles, I'd rather just finish up coding actual standings for PAA's which I believe are a much better indicator than %iles...

I only Oracle predicted 13% for Meta Knight but that's because I was making a safe choice, as he also had some downside risk. I actually figured he'd get like 15% and Peach like 16%-17%.

I thought Sephiroth would suffer less though, I figured there would be more overlap between Meta Knight and Peach than their seems to be. Also Meta Knight might collapse with the day vote, but should still finish comfortably ahead of where most people had him.

I thought MK would bomb to Hell. And I'm so wrong it's not even funny...

I only have sympathy for those who miss matches in the later rounds, because in the earlier rounds you practically have WEEKS to predict all matches.

It used to be easier to give people more time back in the day, but with the script and the huge participation it's an insane chaos when we mix two rounds...
