| Topic | Adjusting the contest scoring system based on prediction percentages |
| _SecretSquirrel 05/20/20 5:31:47 AM #79: | I'd actually be somewhat interested in seeing the meta-game of the contests change with something like this. For example, we know that prediction percentages tend to be higher for mainstream hits like GTA, Red Dead, Overwatch, previous rally benefactors, etc. Meanwhile, things like non-FF RPGs tend to be undervalued by the casual bracketmaker. So, does this incentivize Board 8ers to seek out potential upsets based on potentially lucrative payoffs? Most of us knew better that Cuphead wasn't likely to take down GTA V pre-contest, but imagine the traction the "Cupset" would have had knowing you could get a possible 15% prediction bonus as early as Round 2? To say nothing of the 15% bonus that you would have got when P4G got when it did take down GTA, which was still a Guru upset in our timeline, but probably not a Guru upset in this timeline. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!
