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. Mario vs. Sonic the Hedgehog with 89.11%). One prediction per line per match. 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 ET, 11:00pm/am CT, 9:00pm/am PT 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 or edit any post in a prediction topic (if you somehow 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 eighth time! The rules for the team challenge are simple:
1. Sign up in the Team Signups Topic with a partner before the end of October 2011:

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 this ONLY applies to the team scores.
