SC2k10 Oracle Challenge - Round 1 - East, Southeast and South Divisions
From: Xcarvenger | Posted: 10/30/2010 3:03:04 PM | Message Detail
Read the Rules, Follow the Format!

The Challenge

For each match in the GameFAQs Fall 2010 Game of the Decade Contest (referred herein as "SC2k10"), you need to pick a winner and predict the percentage of the vote they will receive. New participants will always be accepted throughout the contest (but 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:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with 53%
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 52.7%
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time over Final Fantasy VIII with 52.69%
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 53.82%

Please use one of these formats, and always remember to include the % sign. Please use the "full name" of the game in your prediction (e.g. put Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic instead of Star Wars: KOTOR) as indicated in our "copy paste" list at the bottom of the opening post. Predictions are entered into our database by a script, which may miss your predictions if you use some other 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 SC2k10 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 game's actual final percentage.)

Example:

Your guess: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with 55%
My guess: Final Fantasy VIII with 55%
Actual result: OoT 60%, FF8 40%
Your score: 50 - (60-55) = 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. Here they are:

1) A valid entry consists of a clear pick and prediction (i.e. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with 77.77%). 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 before the usual start time of that match's poll (at exactly 12:00am/pm EDT, 11:00pm/am CDT, 9:00pm/am PDT for the night/day match respectively). Predictions submitted after this time will NOT be counted. No predictions will be accepted after the poll has started, regardless of the start time.
4) You may change your prediction for any match at any time, subject to the other rules.
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 rules 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>, we already know about it).
7) You may predict matches for future divisions/rounds in advance if you need to. Please tell me beforehand in the Discussion Topic so we can arrange this.
8) I reserve the right to disqualify a pick for any justifiable reason.

Team Challenge

The popular team challenge is returning for the seventh time! If you are not in a team, you're out of luck! Come back next contest and don't miss the sign-up! If you are in a team, this is how it's gonna work:

1. Make just one prediction per match subject to the rules above - it counts for the Oracle Challenge and the Oracle Team Challenge!
2. Your team score for the day is equal to both team members' scores added together.
3. 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 this ONLY applies to the team scores.

Prizes

It's back! Given the difficulty of getting a perfect prediction consistently, I have decided to follow Kaxon, Morgoth and Kleenex's lead and keep the offer on the table for obtaining two consecutive perfect scores OR five perfect scores at any point during this contest. Anyone who gets a perfect score of 50.00 for two consecutive matches OR any five matches in this contest will get a free game of their choice! (Maximum cost of $60 USD)

Standing:
TheOlympicHero - 1 perfect
Kaxon - 1 perfect
Camden - 1 perfect
