Welcome to the Oracle Challenge, the contest that tests your prediction abilities down to the hundredth of a percent!
Changes for spring 2006
Please note the new scoring system. The rest of the rules are the same as before.
The Challenge
For each match in the GameFAQs Sprint Contest you need to pick a winner and predict the percentage of the vote they will receive. New participants are still being accepted until at least the end of round 3 (please indicate that you are new and make a minimum of three picks).
Post your predictions in this topic, one prediction per line. Your predictions must start with the name of your winner and end with your predicted percentage. Examples:
Link with 85%
Link 55.13%
Link over CATS with 67.55%
Link - 77.5%
Please use one of these formats, and always remember to include the % sign. Predictions are entered into our database by a script, which may miss your predictions if you use a weird format.
The Scoring
For each match you will earn points based on how close your guess was to the actual outcome. Scoring is cumulative and the winner of the Oracle Challenge will be the person with the most points at the end of the final match. For each match you can earn anywhere from 0 and 50 points. The scoring system works as follows:
Correctly choosing the winner earns you 50-x points.
Incorrectly choosing the winner earns you 45-x points.
(Where x is the difference between your guess and the character's actual percentage.)
Example:
Your guess: Link with 65%
My guess: CATS with 55%
Actual result: Link 60%, CATS 40%
Your score: 50 - (65-60) = 45 points
My score: 45 - (55-40) = 30 points
The Rules
It is necessary to have a few rules to keep the challenge running smoothly. They are:
1) A valid entry consists of a clear pick and prediction (i.e. Link with 85.03%). The prediction must be greater than or equal to 50.00%.
2) Your prediction does not need to be different from everybody else?s. However, intentional and continuous prediction mimicry will not be allowed.
3) All predictions must be made five minutes before the usual start time of that match?s poll (approx. 11:55pm EST, 10:55am CST, 8:55pm 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.
4) You may change your prediction for any match at any time, subject to the rules above. Please indicate clearly that this is a change to a previous entry.
5) You may not delete any post in a prediction topic (if you do, please post immediately after to explain the deletion). This is to prevent abuse of the above rule and to reduce confusion.
6) If you post with an alt, you must clearly state the name of your main account. (Exception: if the alt is listed on your user profile page <http://oraclechallenge.com/profiles.php?type=users>, I already know about it).
7) You may predict matches in advance if you need to. Please tell me beforehand so we can arrange this.
8) I reserve the right to disqualify a pick for any justifiable reason.
Team Challenge
In addition to the main Oracle Challenge, this time we are testing a side contest involving teams. 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.

Match #15 Results
The Elder Scrolls 35.23%
Street Fighter 64.77%
lol 3-seed! Street Fighter comes close to doubling TES. The seeds were reversed anyway... 12 adventurous souls went with Elder Scrolls while 154 predictors backed Street Fighter. The consensus was Street Fighter with 60.26% and the average was a good 43.29 points.
Best Five Picks:
1) Dekar TKB - Street Fighter 64.82% (+49.95)
2) Luster Soldier - Street Fighter 64.71% (+49.94)
3) demonMaster - Street Fighter 64.67% (+49.90)
4) PeaceOut64 - Street Fighter 64.60% (+49.83)
5) IhatethisCPU - Street Fighter 65.00% (+49.77)
Dekar TKB grabs yesterday's best pick (his second of the contest and 4th overall), barely edging Luster Soldier who appears here for the first time. demonMaster takes third, also with his first ever Top 5, while veteran PeaceOut64 (19th All-Time Top 5) and IhatethisCPU (4th All-Time Top 5) complete this board.
Complete Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SpC2k6&type=match&match=15
Current Leaderboard:
1) Lightbearer75 - 692.90
2) RX7InfinitiIII - 688.19
3) TheKnightOfNee - 685.95
4) yoshifan823 - 685.60
5) basmeyer42 - 682.75
*10) steve illumina - 678.20 (686.38)
Things are moving around today. Lightbearer75 keeps the lead as RX7 makes a nice push towards the top, grabbing 2nd after a 7-day climb-or-stay sequence. TheKnightOfNee jumps up two spots in 3rd, pushing yoshifan823 down 2 to 4th. basmeyer42 returns to the leaderboard in 5th place after taking yesterday off.
*The Oracle revision comitee will be meeting later today concerning steve illumina's change. Alright, Kaxon and I will yell at each other on AIM >_>

I was expecting Shadow Hearts to be uberfodder, but I wasn't expecting RE to be able to score this kind of blowout. Only real powerhouses have broken 88% in the past.

Damn, I raised by 10 and I'm still way off. Should have raised by 20.
Now I really wonder why I picked SF over RE on my bracket....for once I'll go against my bracket though.
I'd be around 5th place if not for my 2 stupid picks...hopefully I'll recover.
