I'm salty with SBAllen
If anything, I'm salty with Allen for changing the rules mid-contest, and for setting up the final pick in a ridiculous, awkward manner.
First, you don't rewrite the rules 2 months into a contest. He must have seen the 60 perfects (at the time) and thought "Why not screw some people over?" The previous deal was that we'd get to potentially double our points via a straight pick, and I was more than happy that Link/Mario would be a predictable match (in terms of outcome, not exact %.) I'd have been more than fine with doing that despite a crappy tiebreaker. And I would have gone with a straight pick if it weren't for the mass sentiment that you had to go for a narrower pick or risk going this far only to end up with an entry that's not competitive for winning prizes.
Second, the way Bacon implemented it was terrible. You should have been allowed to set your own min/max and scores would be determined by how wide your range is. I would have been more comfortable setting a 15% bound or a 10% bound where I could define my own endpoints. Not only was the drop-down list a clusterf*** there will be some ties at each level.
