Do people usually get perfect brackets in these things?

Nah, even winners get wrong predictions. IIRC Rivarly Rumble was one of the contest where more than a few people ended up with perfect brackets?

There will more than likely be perfect brackets in this one due to the size and relative predictability of the contest - you probably can't miss more than one early match and win money

Really depends on the contest. This one only has 36 entrants and hasn't really had any surprises so far (besides maybe the fact that every match has been a blowout), so it's quite conceivable that there may be multiple perfect brackets.

I believe the Series contest a while ago had one perfect, and this one will likely have at least one I feel like. To get a prize I'm expecting you can only lose 1-2 points or something.

That's not the norm, but this one is shorter (less matches to get right) and has a lot of easy matches.

I guess DpObliVion gets to be in my sig now. His knowledge of video game popularity contests far surpasses my own.

Series Contest also had some perfect brackets.

Its still early on this contest, on paper anything can still happen.

Yeah what score you need will largely depend on what results actually happen

If we don't get any upsets you're gonna need to be close to perfect. If something other than 1998 wins, on the other hand, it's basically chaos.

Is it reasonable to assume that all of the winners are already on the leaderboard?

Perfect as in TB as well.

But now I know completion of the bracket time is also a thing looked at

It's a 1306-way tie for 1st, and there's only slots for 50 of them. So, of course not.

Is it reasonable to assume that all the winners currently have a perfect bracket? If 1998 wins, you better believe the winners haven't dropped anything so far.

Keep in mind that the leaderboard does not separate for fun entries from prize ones.

This basically. I finished 4th in the Rivalry Rumble and only missed Phoenix/Edgeworth vs. Freeman/Breen.

If there is a rally, no.

If there is not, yes. This contest is too predictable and there are too few matches.
