Sorry for the late update, I worked long hours yesterday, was tiredlike hell and my router decided it didn't feel like working properly soI went to sleep. It happens.

I'mtaking 2-3 days off and I'll start working on the wrapping up afterthat. Division & Phase Stats, Bonus Points, Top 5's, Updated UserStandings, all of these should be done next week. If you have anyrequest, feel free to ask, if it's possible I'll try to do it.

Untilthen, congratulations to Dilated Chemist, and thanks to every singleone of you. I may not reply to all comments, but I read them all andthey're all appreciated. You've all made this contest a success, onceagain. Thank you.

Despite two 1st places, I end up in 31st. Probably because I made some awful choices along the way.

Oh well, I never do well at this.

Has anyone ever thought that the Oracle format would be a great way to add some spice back to the orrigonal contest?

Iwas thinking something like, on every match you pick winner and %. Ifyou get it right and within 5%, you score 5. If you get it right,within 10%, you score 3. If you just get it right, just 1. That wouldbe cool.
Or maybe 2% and 5% should be the limits, depending on how good people are at this.
