Match # 1 Results
Yoshi 35.47%
Knuckles the Echidna 27.84%
Rikku 27.14%
Vaan 9.54%

The 2007 Summer Contest is underway, and it kicks off with a bit of a surprise! Rikku gave Knuckles a run for his money and held a lead in the early hours of the poll, giving us the closest ever first match of the contest. 169 people showed up to predict the match, an all-time Oracle record. The consensus predictions were: Knuckles the Echidna 30.32%, Rikku 21.59%, Vaan 13.50%, and Yoshi 34.62%. 134 predictors correctly had Yoshi and Knuckles ranked 1-2, while another 24 had Knuckles first and Yoshi second. Two brave people had Vaan advancing in second, while one actually had him first over Yoshi.

Best Five Picks:
1) Janus5000 - Knuckles 27.63% - Rikku 26.09% - Vaan 11.12% - Yoshi 35.16% (+49.21)
2) Vlado - Knuckles 28.15% - Rikku 25.43% - Vaan 9.96% - Yoshi 36.46% (+49.14)
3) KleenexTissue50 - Knuckles 28.32% - Rikku 25.12% - Vaan 11.30% - Yoshi 35.26% (+48.88)
4) Lopen - Knuckles 30.30% - Rikku 26.61% - Vaan 9.07% - Yoshi 34.02% (+48.77)
5) GoldSlime35 - Knuckles 30.00% - Rikku 25.00% - Vaan 10.00% - Yoshi 35.00% (+48.69)

The difficulty of predicting four characters is apparent, as we didn't have any super-high predictions today despite a match that went more or less as expected. Janus had the top pick, making him the current contest leader! Janus now has 7 top five picks. Vlado was the only other person to score over 49 and had the second best pick. In third was Janus's teammate Kleenex, giving them a great score for the day. The unpredictable Lopen was fourth, followed by GoldSlime, who is appearing int he top 5 for his 27th time.
