firebotslash posted... what? spring 2004 is still one of the best contests ever. which I assume you're talking about cause that was the only contest in 2004 that fit that criteria.
maybe you got it confused with summer 2004
Games 2004 featured some classic matches, no doubt about it, but go back and look at that bracket:
Matches involving Adventure, River City Ransom, Galaga are bad enough, but the generation divide also forced us to waste potentially interesting games like Tetris and Metroid and the first Final Fantasy against games from their own era that they were always going to get SFFed and blown out by. The other divisions weren't much better; how much noise could Mario 64 and Goldeneye have made if they weren't wasted against the one N64 game that overshadowed them (Ocarina)? Watching FF7 put up 80% on Xenogears and Suikoden wasn't too thrilling either...
The point I'm getting at is that instead of having one quarter of the bracket where obvious hierarchies weren't present (Division 128), we could have had an ENTIRE bracket like that! No reason why many of the best loved matches from the end of that bracket (LttP/Chrono Trigger, Ocarina/FF7, etc) couldn't still have happened in the Elite Eight onward!

I didn't even see it let me pick a winner for the final battle. I checked most of the day, even around 10 PM PST and it said the final battle hasn't been picked yet. :/

Same as me.I did a straight bet on Link with all my points and it's not registered.I'm glad just glad i wasn't on a perfect as i'd have raged hard at this.
I can also confirm that the final battle submit form had a problem I tried to submit it during the Trainers VS Cloud match but it just said that the final battle hasn't been picked yet
I don't really care because my battle standings is terrible beyond belief (13800) This is more than SBallen so if he pass me because of the final battle or anything and I won't get karma boost then...yeah I wouldn't care anyway :D

Yep, I did exactly the same, and it seems to have gotten wiped.
It's extremely unlikely that bacon will pass me, though, so I'm probably good. Then again, I think my battle bracket somehow got reset and is no longer a karma entry so... :/

Add me to the list of those that got screwed by the final pick form. I put all of my 14,200 on a straight Link pick, but GameFAQs says I didn't make a pick.
If SBAllen passes me, I'm going to be ticked. Not because 10 Karma really means anything. I just hate getting screwed out of a win I rightly earned.
(If SBAllen went nuts, picked a 1%, gets it right and passes 28,400 then nevermind as I would've lost anyway.)
Your Final Battle Pick The final battle has begin - you can no longer make a pick.
On the bottom of that page for everyone right now. If you entered in a number and picked something out of that dropdown yesterday, the site still saved your pick and you'll get credit for it.

legendmusketeer posted... I noticed that by not wagering anything and avoiding the Final Battle pick altogether, my total score of 34500 fell off the Battle leaderboard.
Yes, exactly, because the lowest score shown on that leaderboard is 87,400. By not picking the final battle, you essentially banked that round, gaining zero points.

Ya know, one of these days I'm gonna think of something to put here...
I just cannot find what happened to what I did, period. When I go to the final vote form, it's a 404 "page not found" error. I cannot recall my exact vote anyway, but there's nowhere that shows my score that I can find, nor anything about Karma bonus I got for passing SBAllen in the bracket contest (not sure about battle as, again, I don't know what I got in the finals).

Okay, now that the day is past and we can see the final scores, would you like to tell me AGAIN that I don't know what I'm talking about?
My score is STILL 14,200 despite my having selected to wager all of it on a straight pick of Link.
10 Karma means nothing really, but that's not the point either. I'm pretty ticked off right now that SBAllen was able to pass me because HIS pick got saved while mine (and many others) weren't! :(

You finished with 28,400 points, defeated SBAllen, and won 10 Karma.

Where can I see this result? When I look at my battle entry I see the last 3 entries as:
61 (1) Mario vs. Bowser over (1) Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Pokemon Trainer Blue (Correct) 600 13600 62 (1) Link vs. Ganondorf vs. (1) Cloud Strife vs. Sephiroth (No Pick) 0 14200 63 Final Battle Pick Form (0) (14200)
That looks to me like it is saying I risked 0 of my 14,200 points.
The update your battle bracket page at least is inaccurate. I know mine doesn't show anything about my final pick, and I'm on the leaderboard so I know my pick went through.

MMBN style fighting game made by me in the link below! http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/184947-b8bn
I don't see my final score anywhere. It still shows me with 11000 pts wagering 1000 (which is inaccurate in itself, I wagered 2000). No clue what's going on here.
The 63rd battle listing shows only a copy of the line above ... (at risk points) (banked points). It doesn't even show winnings from the 62nd battle. The numbers in no way relate to your final battle bet amount or winnings. Basically, the page hasn't been updated to display your final battle information, and the final battle form was taken down, so there is currently no way to view your final score.

Ya know, one of these days I'm gonna think of something to put here...
I have a question about the entries that can be made for this contest. Maybe someone has an answer:
The Rivalry Rumble main page says this about the Karma Bonus Entry:
"For users outside of the United States and Canada or who are otherwise not eligible to enter the official contest, you can now enter your bracket or battle picks as a "Karma Entry"."
Are Karma Entries only valid for users outside of the United States and Canada?
Since I live in the U.S., would I be able to submit an entry for the Karma Bonus instead of the official Contest, or if I entered for the Karma Bonus, would be entry be invalid?
Just wanted to get a clarification since I am not sure about this. I'm asking so I know for the next contest.
I'm one of the people who got screwed by the final battle pick, too. I wagered all of my points on Link and didn't receive anything. Now I'm 100 points short of beating SBAllen. Is there a feedback ticket to contact him?
LeonhartFour posted... Karma entries are eligible for everyone.
I beat SBAllen in both contests, but didn't receive any bonus karma. Did I need to submit a separate karma entry, in addition to the regular contest entry?
I thought it said ANY entry that beat SBAllen would get the karma.
