Match # 30 Results
Sora 41.87%
Lara Croft 25.84%
Albert Wesker 24.12%
Daxter 8.17%

I have no idea how to predict this contest... Daxter completely bombs while Wesker comes close to challenging Lara. Sora wins comfortably, but not by as much as expected. The consensus predictions were Wesker - 19.32%; Daxter - 13.21%; Lara - 24.00%; Sora - 43.41%. The average score was 45.57.

Best Five Picks:
1) Jmast7 - Daxter 10.00% - Lara 25.00% - Sora 40.00% - Wesker 25.00% (+48.64)
2) Menji76 - Daxter 10.00% - Lara 26.00% - Sora 41.00% - Wesker 21.20% (+48.55)

5) raytan7585 - Daxter 10.89% - Lara 26.52% - Sora 38.04% - Wesker 24.55% (+48.08)

Jmast7 gets the best pick today, his first of the contest! He scored 48.64 points. Menji is second, also his first top 5 this contest (he has 11 previous t5's). DaruniaTheGoron is in third, and he's been getting multiple top 5's (4 so far). MoogleKupo141 gets fourth while raytan gets fifth, which pushes him into the lead in the race that really matters, his race against Amy.

Current Leaderboard:
1) The n00b Avenger - 1397.87
2) Master Moltar - 1392.08
3) creativename - 1391.22
4) MegatokyoEd - 1388.62
5) DSRage - 1388.43

The top three is still n00b, Moltar, and creativename in that order, as it has been for the last four days. MegatokyoEd moves up one spot into fourth, but the big news is DSRage climbing 4 spots to finally make it back onto the leaderboard. He spent 39 days there last contest, but dropped off after making the most epic mistake in Oracle history. Now he's proving that the first contest wasn't a fluke.
