To copy lack's post:

So post your predictions in this topic (or pm them to me if you want to keep them secret), and after the ladle we'll see who is the BEST* of the people of who submitted their predictions.

Example entry:
Code: Select all
Quarter Finals:

TR vs CT
2 - 1

DS vs MC
0 - 2

X vs OT
0 - 2

WW vs KO
1 - 2

Semi Finals:

TR vs MC
2 - 1

OT vs KO
2 - 0

Finals:

TR vs OT
0 - 3
Two remarks:

The winners in the Quarter finals have to correspond with the teams in the Semis. (same goes for the Final)

All matches except for the Final will be best of three. The Final will be best of five.
Scoring:
Points will be awarded as follows:

For every correct semi finalist: 3 points
For every correct 3rd place match team: 3 points
For correct 3rd place: 5 points
For every correct finalist: 5 points
For correct winner: 7 points

In case of a tie we will look at how good individual matches were predicted:

For every correct first-to-two match (quarter/semi finals): 1 point
For every correct first-to-three match (final): 2 points

* in predicting the outcome of ladle 17, not in tron or anything else

So wanna do it again?

I don't think i'll have the time to think about it as well as i did last time

.
I'll see if i can come up with some bogus answers before the ladle.

Considering the Challenge Board is wrong, your entry is invalid owned.

Yeah arent we like still arguing about the challange board... which actually sounds pretty stupid when you think about how the ladle is 4 days away.

or maybe i'm wrong and you guys are arguing about the 18th ladle..

I was going to bet this time, but my results were exactly the same as kyle's.

Oh wait! Can I bet on who bets the closest? I vote kyle!
