After all, someone with 39700 points can finish in 48th place.

Why not just invent a 0.00% pick that's worth 1 quadrillion bajillion pts and let that be the sole basis of the contest? Even if the person who got it managed to score 0.1 points in the first 62 matches, he can still be the winner of the overall contest!

That seems like what Allen prefers anyway!

I think you have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with this contest. I mean, I'm kinda annoyed about the last minute change and I'm at 0 because of it as well, but you've been making like five topics a day trying to gather info on other people's picks and now complaining about the results. It's not even that much money.

It's not about the money; it's about principle. You just don't make unannounced rule changes in mid-contest.

It was a good idea because there were way too many ties. It's hard to break a tie when over 60 people have the same score. Besides, you didn't have to make a pick at all.

there were already two tiebreakers in place. # votes in the final match, and submission time. no need to create a 3rd that's 99% based on luck.

This is the proudest day of my B8 history.

No sarcasm.

But I truthfully can't remember much of my B8 history.

But just don't read that last line.

It actually wasn't really based on luck at all, though.

There's no luck in picking a percentage. In fact that's what separates the people who actually know what they're doing from the people who just lurk b8 and don't pick any upsets ever.

Who's the second Yoblazer?

You need more evidence than one person to prove that these contests are in any way skill-based

I agree that there was a high amount of luck in it but you picked over 70%.... There was no luck in you losing that that was just a dumb pick.

That's not relevant. The key point is how unprofessional it is to change rules in midcontest.

I'd be under the limit, because the number of terrible topics = 0
