team standings after day 14
---

damn BONEHEADS! we will get them
---

Dang! I thought I would be the highest Amaterasu picker, but I was just barely beaten!

Still, 21 points off the leader knight isn't bad! We're still at the half of the contest, right?
---

@creativename If you see this in time please put your Round 2 predictions inside the Round 2 topic. You put them in the Round 1 topic by accident.
---

Is the second round the last round for 4-a-days?

4 matches per day lasts through round 3.
---

I forget, does time change affect match start time for tomorrow?

New start time kicks in for the Division 2 matches.

All matches are 24 hours. Due to daylight savings, this means they start one hour earlier after the time change.

Thanks.

Today's gonna sting me like a bee.

I was also extremely close to picking DK.
---

I hope the update comes soon...
---

I keep expecting to drop out of the top 10, but it hasn't happened yet. I think picking MH will do it for me though.
---

If I could start making some good picks again that'd be great.
---

Damn, missed out on a perfect pick by 0.01. So close.

Lucky you! Meanwhile, I'm still chasing after a #1 pick.

But more importantly, I'm still chasing after hylian.
---

Wow, I managed to hang in 4th!

Too bad today's gonna slaughter me.
---

New topic for the rest of Round 2:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/77177774
---

I am back to my usual habits of a few good picks mixed with a lot of average ones and way too many bad picks. Back to back #1 picks was a nice surprise at least.
---

Whoops, sorry nicedog.
---

@XIII_rocks If only we were as good at picking percentages as we apparently are at picking the winners of matches.
---

Still pissed I didn't go with my gut on 2B. Especially as after putting in the prediction I deliberately went to do stuff so I couldn't change it but I just happened to get a free chance to check and change last minute

Wow, almost 40 points to go! I'm still hanging in there, so it's not that bad, but Steiner is right behind me.
---

Congratulations on taking the lead, tennisboy. Nicely done.

I'm still coming after you, though. =P

Miffed I backed down on Phoenix but glad I stuck with 2B.

Here's hoping Geralt holds up similarly tomorrow!

Bloodborne doing good work in the REAL contest
So there

I don't know if it's because it hasn't updated, but my prediction for Bowser vs. Charizard doesn't appear on the oracle site whereas the ones for the other matches of the day are there. It was on post #83 of the 1-6 divisions topic.

@KingMorgoth Can you help add that in? It wasn't picked up because of the missing %.
---

Oh I see where the mistake was, sorry about that.
---

Unfortunately, the script is a lot more picky about what predictions should look like compared to when I was manually entering everything. I would have just fixed that before.

thanks bud

I couldn't get around to changing my safety picks, other tan switching Geralt to Simon (yeah!). I would've guessed 65%+ for Sub-Zero instead of my safety 57% guess, though. >.<
---

I'm liking my Sub-Zero pick, which is higher than a lot of people (66.1%). Pity the other 3 are pretty awful, especially if Geralt ends up losing.
---

Hey, my bracket made it on the leaderboard. Taking Drake>Chief tomorrow is going to put an end to that but it's nice to be there at least for a day.

Coming for you today!

This has been a pretty mixed Oracle season for me so far but I am quite proud of that Bowser prediction.

Done!

I will be putting up the Round 3 topic shortly (should be within 30 minutes) after the next matches start. For Round 3 you will be immediately allowed to predict up to Auron vs Sub-Zero. The same topic will be used for all of Round 3. However, predictions for Luigi vs Tails will not be accepted until both of those matches are fully complete. Similarly, Division 8 Round 2 matches must fully complete before Division 8 Round 3 predictions are accepted. I will be creating a new topic for Round 4 so don't put Round 4 predictions in the Round 3 topic.
---

Well crud. Yesterday was a perfect example of why you should always put up safety picks. I got busy yesterday and totally forgot to log in to make my picks. Oh well.
---

out of curiosity, who has the power to force the site to notice that the last set of matches are over?

the site seems to be having major issues doing that automatically right now
---

I wonder if it's a result of the site revamp where it used to calculate everything on demand and now it just pulls up values instead of recalculating

I think the 4-match-a-day thing killed Kaxon's update script and he hasn't had the time or found a way to fix it...(yet?)

I can't complain about it as I'm not exactly able to fix it either...

I don't remember how many times it's been now, but I was saved by my safeties again. Nothing looks terribly awful so far.
---

yeah, I'm just wondering because the site is a full two days behind now and I'm curious to see how things stand at present
