That's right, TEAMS. For the first time, this spring's Oracle Challenge will feature a team competition in addition to the traditional Oracle Challenge. Here's how it will work:

1. Each team consists of two people.
2. Predict the winner and percentage for every match, just like always. Everybody makes ONE prediction for each match, which counts for the individual contest and the team contest.
3. Your team score is equal to the two team members' scores added together.
4. If one player misses a prediction, they will get either the average score for the day or their partner's score, whichever is lower. This way, a missed prediction won't kill the team's chances. (However, if both players miss the same day, they will score zero.) This rule ONLY applies to the team scores.

That's it! Post the name of your team here along with the names of both team members. You can also use this topic to find a partner. If you want a random partner, post here and we'll pair you up when the contest starts. Team signups will close when voting on the first match begins.

...Hmmm. I'll scout around for a partner, I suppose.

Just to be clear, you'll still be able to do the main Oracle Challenge without a partner.

Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. -__-

The site is still here: http://www.oraclechallenge.com/

I'll need to work a few things here and there but we're mostly set for the contest.

And to further Kaxon's comment: This is a bonus feature, it doesn't affect the usual contest in any way. I'm sure people will enjoy the extra bragging rights and I was worried I'd get bored this summer without some extra work >_>

I'll be needing a partner. I very rarely post on this board when there's no contest being run, and not much more when there is, so no one here really knows me. Go anonymity!
