So everyone makes three predictions per match?


Correct, you predict the percentages of all 3 characters in the match. It's just like in 4-ways where you had to predict the percentage of all 4 characters.

Although since only one character moved on from each match, we could have done it similarly to 1v1 where you only predict the winner and use the modern 1v1 scoring system. 3 characters per match increases the odds you predict the wrong winner, though. So we opted to go with predicting the percentages for all 3 characters in the match.

The set-up we chose for 3-ways does mean that do you have to specify a winner if you predict 2 characters with an equal percentage. This can be done by reordering the names in a match - the first listed character with the highest percentage is assumed to be the winner you intended to choose. An example prediction of this:

Link - 45%
Commander Shepard - 10%
Draven - 45%


Link comes before Draven in that prediction, so it will be assumed that you intended to choose Link as your winner. If you want to choose Draven as your winner, you would reorder the names and place the Draven prediction above Link.

I THINK everything on the site is now up to date. Everything that was tracked, that is- keep in mind, no 2017 or 2013 data is in the database.

this is slightly incorrect - those pages currently fail to account for the final two matches of the 2011 contest due to the poll numbers of the matches being reversed from the order they ran in for whatever reason, so the only place they're accounted for is in the contest-specific archives

other than that, everything should be fine

Morgoth could you look into these final two matches of 2011 that lefty mentions?

user profiles and the records page never updated after the second semifinal (match 62), but the archives and competitor profiles do list them... or at least the archives did when they were showing things >_>

New main for Rose.

lefty is talking about the last two matches of the Rivals Contest in 2011, so these two:

http://oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k11&type=match&match=64
http://oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k11&type=match&match=63

The real final was poll #4572, Mario/Bowser versus Link/Ganon. However it happened the day AFTER poll #4573, which was a special match between Cloud/Seph and the Pokemon Trainers. Apparently this numbering inconsistency broke something on the website and the stats got goofed up? I'm not sure exactly, but you can see here how creative's site likewise got fooled by the swap

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/63

(Cloud vs Red match looks like it was the Grand Finals even though it took place on the 19th, and the Link vs Mario showdown was on the 20th.)

If you have uneven numbers wanting to do teams and need one more person, or if someone really wants to team up with me for some weird reason, I'll do this, otherwise I'm happy enough to stick to the individual competition. Maybe this is my year for once?

I did finish top 10 last contest apparently as a positive. I have forgotten almost everything about that contest, including doing so well in oracle though, so that must have been a fluke. As a warning, I usually come near last overall in this when it is for characters / games.
