This topic is for Round 2 predictions only.
Round 1 predictions should be posted in the topic for the Wildcard Round and Round 1. This topic should not be used for predicting any remaining matches in Round 1. If it looks like the Wildcard/Round 1 topic might reach 500 posts before the final matches of Round 1 begin, I'll post a new topic for the remaining Round 1 matches. The Challenge For each match in the GameFAQs Spring 2017 Best Year in Gaming Contest (referred herein as "SpC2k17"), you need to pick a winner and predict the percentage of the vote they will receive. New participants will always be accepted throughout the contest (but please indicate that you are new and make a minimum of three picks). Post your predictions in this topic, one prediction per line. Your predictions must start with the name of your winner and end with your predicted percentage. Examples: 1998 with 54% 1998 55.1% 1998 over 2001 with 53.64% 1998 - 52.85% Please use one of these formats, and always remember to include the % sign. Predictions are entered into our database by a script, which may miss your predictions if you use some other weird format or forget to include the % sign. The Scoring For each match you will earn points based on how close your guess was to the actual outcome. Scoring is cumulative and the winner of the SpC2k17 Oracle Challenge will be the person with the most points at the end of the final match! For each match you can earn anywhere from 0 and 50 points. The scoring system works as follows: Correctly choosing the winner earns you 50-x points. Incorrectly choosing the winner earns you 45-x points. (Where x is the difference between your guess and the year's actual final percentage.) Example: Your guess: 1998 with 55% My guess: 2001 with 55% Actual result: 1998 60%, 2001 40% Your score: 50 - (60-55) = 45 points My score: 45 - (55-40) = 30 points The Rules It is necessary to have a few rules to keep the challenge running smoothly. Here they are: 1) A valid entry consists of a clear pick and prediction (i.e. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with 77.77%). The prediction must be greater than or equal to 50.00%. 2) Your prediction does not need to be different from everybody else's. However, intentional and continuous prediction mimicry will NOT be allowed. 3) All predictions must be made before the usual start time of that match's poll (at exactly 12:00 AM Eastern). Predictions submitted after this time will NOT be counted. No predictions will be accepted after the poll has started, regardless of the start time. 4) You may change your prediction for any match at any time, subject to the other rules. 5) You may NOT delete any post in a prediction topic (if you do, please post immediately after to explain the deletion). This is to prevent abuse of the above rules and to reduce confusion. 6) If you have made a mistake with any of your predictions, please don't edit or delete your post. Simply make another post with your corrected predictions (subject to the above rules). 7) If you post with an alt, you must clearly state the name of your main account. (Exception: if the alt is listed on your user profile page <http://oraclechallenge.com/profiles.php?type=users>, we already know about it). 8) You may predict matches for future divisions/rounds in advance if you need to. Please tell me beforehand in the Discussion Topic so we can arrange this. 9) I reserve the right to disqualify a pick for any justifiable reason. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...

Team Challenge
The popular Team Challenge is back again! If you want to be in a team, head to the sign-up topic and confirm your team before the first matches of the contest begin. Once the first matches begin, you're out of luck if you want to be in the Team Challenge. If you are in a team, this is how it's gonna work: 1. Make just one prediction per match subject to the rules above - it counts for the Oracle Challenge and the Oracle Team Challenge! 2. Your team score for the day is equal to both team members' scores added together. 3. If one player misses a prediction, the team will get either (partner's score * 2) or (partner's score + average score for the day), whichever is lower. This is to keep teams from being eliminated by one missed prediction, and this ONLY applies to the team scores. ORACLE WEBSITE http://www.oraclechallenge.com/ We are now accepting predictions for all matches in Round 2. Since the Round 2 matches have not been fully determined yet and because 2011/2006 is still undecided while 2015/2016 are possible rally targets, I've listed all 4 of those years as possible Round 2 matches. Round 2 1995 vs. 1987 2001 vs. 2008 1997 vs. 2007 2000 vs. 1996 1991 vs. 2002 1994 vs. 2011/2006 1998 vs. 1992/2016 2003 vs. 2015/2005 --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...

yeah why is Luster pretending to run this anyway Because I wanted to make sure we have predictions on record until we can find someone capable of adding the predictions to the Oracle website. I'm archiving all of the prediction topics just so all of the predictions are saved until they can be added to the Oracle website. The process of trying to calculate the results after each day of matches is too much work for me, so TRE decided to do that work himself. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...
