Topic: Sp2k9 Oracle Challenge - Round 1 - Divisions 1 & 2

Team Challenge

The popular team challenge is returning for a fourth contest. The rules for the team challenge are simple:

1. Sign up with a partner before the beginning of the first match.
2. Make just one prediction per match - it counts for the Oracle Challenge and the Oracle Team Challenge.
3. Your team score for the day is equal to both team members' scores added together.
4. If one player misses a prediction, the team will get either (partner's score * 2) or (partner's score + average score for the day), whichever is lower. This is to keep teams from being eliminated by one missed prediction, and ONLY applies to the team scores.

Prizes

Given the difficulty of predicting four different games, I have decided to follow Kaxon and Morgoth's lead and keep the offer on the table for obtaining a perfect score. Anyone who gets a perfect score of 50.00 for a match will get a free game of their choice! (Maximum cost of $60 USD).

ORACLE WEBSITE

In this topic we're taking team signups and accepting predictions. If you want to sign up for a team, please either state who you want to team up with, or say if you want me to assign a random partner.

Additional Notes

While I will try my best to keep things moving smoothly, I can't guarantee that your predictions will be entered into the database immediately, especially if you make last-minute changes. If you don't see your alterations reflected on the Oracle website, don't freak out - they will be updated before the match is over. If there are any other problems, let me know and we'll get things sorted out ASAP.

I'm also going to need someone to post result after each match. It's pretty simple and pretty much anyone can do it, just let me know if you're interested.

Now that all of that stuff is cleared up, let's get predicting!
