*Tries to stay calm*
For the 20th time this contest, if your post was AFTER the "LAST UPDATED" time on the website, then, we're obviously not there yet. And yes we're one day behind, working on it right now. It's the yellow box. The one that jumps in your face. Yes THAT one.

Sorry about that, no intent to be rude, it's just an overly asked question. I think I'll make a FAQ in the second post next topic....

I've seen so much this contest, I have to admit, I'm not even shocked, and even only slightly surprised. Definitely amused though....you know, that little grin that's not going away...

Now that I've accepted that I'll end up at the bottom of the standings anyway, people will start accepting that I lucked out 3 contests in a row =P
I'm enjoying this though. Everyone being clueless...

As long as it takes to fix all the mistakes of everyone =P
I got at least one Metriod and one Metorid, in there, so that plus all the abbreviations means more work that needs to be input manually.

Consensus is 66.37% (way lower than I thought)
3 predictions for Pokemon, 8 Metroid predictions under 55%, one over 80%!

Oh and in case anyone reads this (it's not a complaint, as things are mostly going really well, but some people might want to help and aren't...), if you want to make us hosts happy when calling a match for "Super Mario Bros." for example...
"Super Mario Bros.", "Super Mario", "Mario Bros." are all perfect;
"Sup", "Mario", "Super" or even "r M" (!) are fine enough to prevent us from typing the whole name;
"Super Mario Brothers", "Mario!" or "SMB" aren't.
Careful with abbreviations too, in SC2k5, "My xx.xx%" would give your prediction for Tommy Vercetti. Fun times.

Match #17 Results
The Legend of Zelda 80.32%
Mega Man X 19.68%

Guess who's back! Today was the latest in our series of blowouts, with The Legend of Zelda managing to quadruple Mega Man X. The match also passed Mario vs Cloud as the third most voted match of all time. All 125 predictions were for Zelda, and the consensus was Zelda with 75.39%. The average score was 44.56 points. We lost 40 competitors who forgot to make their second round predictions.

Best Five Picks:
1) Haste2 - The Legend of Zelda 80.21% (+49.89)
2) plasmabeam - The Legend of Zelda 80.47% (+49.85)
3) Kaxon - The Legend of Zelda 80.50% (+49.82)
4) cyko - The Legend of Zelda 80.53% (+49.79)
5) IhatethisCPU - The Legend of Zelda 80.00% (+49.68)

We've got some old timers in the top 5 today! Haste2, the first Oracle champion, gets the best pick of the day. It's his 25th lifetime top 5. plasmabeam, another guy who's been around since SC2k3, but who's never predicted a whole contest, gets second. It's his 2nd top five. In third is Kaxon, appearing in the top five for the first time since Bowser vs Pyramid Head, 112 matches ago. Cyko is fourth, with his 27th top 5, and IhatethisCPU is in fifth, for his fifth top 5.

Complete Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SpC2k6&type=match&match=17

Current Leaderboard:
1) RX7InfinitiIII - 781.29
2) TheKnightOfNee - 774.68
3) steve illumina - 773.77
4) Z1mZum - 773.38
5) GalacticMage777 - 772.09

We have a new leader! Lightbearer75 drops out of first in dramatic fashion, by failing to make a prediction - he's now in 57th place. RX7InfinitiIII is the new leader, and he has a comfortable 6 point margin over TheKnightOfNee, who climbed four spots to second. Steve illumina holds steady in 3rd place. Z1mZum and GalacticMage777 switch places - Z1mZum moves up to fourth and GalacticMage drops to fifth.
