Instead of random luck-based character brackets whose (prize) winners are largely different every contest.

I think DetroitDJ "Identify the Screenshot" contests are on the right track. Or a contest based on competing for certain highscores in games.

These character battles are getting really old and tired, and the "rivals" gimmick isn't enough to redeem the last 10 years' worth of CB staleness.

You are one of the worst posters on this board in a very consistent manner.

Even if it was skill based, the sheer number of entrants makes repeat winners extremely unlikely.

Also, no.

I like it when Chris makes fried chicken.

I don't like it as much when Chris writes naruto fanfiction.

if this is the case then the contest definitely isn't skill-based.

Also, people who don't like predicting brackets in general suck.

March is the best time of year, solely because of bracket prediction contests.

Also, how exactly does it qualify as a gimmick.

Pretty sure bracket-predicting is largely skill-based.

There is an element of chance, but that is present in most things.

Yeah, man. That's why the Heat lost. Basketball is pure luck.
