About the new time at which the poll starts, liked it more the old way, as I can't see the end and beginning of the poll now. It is like 5 midnight here when it ends.

Where are you, ps2? I'm going to be in Ireland this summer, so the new poll time definitely sucks for me. I won't be able to defend my first vote crown.

Sorry, but there's not much I can do. There's no way I can make everyone happy with random pairings, which is why I gave people plenty of time to find a non-random partner. However, if you can find another team that's willing to switch with you (before the poll starts), then I'll make the change.

Nominate Aeris for SC2k6

IMPORTANT ANOUNCEMENT

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=11&topic=28973311
Due to a change in poll times, rule #3 is ammended accordingly as follows:
3) All predictions must be made fifteen minutes before the usual start time of that matchs poll (approx. 11:45pm EST, 10:45pm CST, 8:45pm PST). Predictions submitted after this time will not be counted or may be subject to penalty. No predictions will be accepted after a poll has started, regardless of the start time.
Now just watch the chaos....

Thanks for the announcement, Morgoth. NGamer, I hope you're paying attention...

I really like the Points Above Average stat you guys used. That's the best skill evaluation metric yet. Good job :)

What I'd like to put in as a request for the future, is a stat that tracks average %ile. e.g., if you finished #9 in a match with 60 total predictions and #7 in another match with 70, your average %ile would be 12.5% (or 87.5%, depending on which direction is used). The points above average metric does a good job of lowering the biases of changing contest difficulty and changing scoring systems, but I think this would be slightly better. But of course this isn't important, and given the work involved might not be worth it. It would be nice to see though.

BTW, kawaiifan should have been #1 in the rankings :) Her points above average is just way too good.

Is there anywhere to see the rankings of that?

Kaxon's idea ;) All I did was pull the right numbers out. Well numbers anyway.

What I'd like to put in as a request for the future, is a stat that tracks average %ile. e.g., if you finished #9 in a match with 60 total predictions and #7 in another match with 70, your average %ile would be 12.5% (or 87.5%, depending on which direction is used).

But of course this isn't important, and given the work involved might not be worth it. It would be nice to see though.
That can go to the top of the Requests list. I could pull that off rather "easily". Which means you'll need to remind me halfway through Round 1 since I'll forget about it. As for my statistical opinion on the request, I think the score distribution is too skewed towards 50, amplifying the luck factor. I'll wait until I crunch the actual numbers before I affirm they're worthless though ;)

BTW, kawaiifan should have been #1 in the rankings :) Her points above average is just way too good.

Is there anywhere to see the rankings of that?
Bah, you modest predictor! I'll try to put something up tomorrow but I can't promise anything. It's not online but the page has to be here somewhere from when I did it.

Your percentile idea is a good one, but I don't think it's going to happen for a while. On the other hand, I might have some time to look at it next week, since I won't be working.

Points above average isn't on a pretty page yet, but I'll email you the data.
