All brackets are entered, we're officially off and running! Big thanks to Ange and his team of bracket-entering-superstars (Spike, Wigs, hylianknight, ShonenBat) for getting us all up to date.
http://thengamer.com/guru/ - clicking your name on the ranks will display your personal bracket page complete with notifications for all your risky picks and mistakes --- Now, as for those Special Features... Here's this year's Cookie-Cutter Bracket, meaning it makes all the most-likely picks based on the B8 hivemind. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=2 Every time you make a pick that defies the Cookie that's considered a Risk. The median number of risks taken this year was 29. Boring Bracket award goes to pirate and Joelypoely who took only 6 risks, while Most "Exciting" Bracket goes to Zazi who went with a jaw-dropping 69! The dropdown on the front page will display everyone's picks for whichever match number you select, you can use that to say things like "Sweet, I'll move up two spots today to #14 if Garrus can hold on!". The Matchup Stats page is my favorite, it show how many picks we had for every matchup of the season. http://thengamer.com/guru/stats.php Clicking the link on the top will give you the exact breakdown of who picked what for that match. For instance here's where we ended on the hottest pre-lockdown debate, Who Will Win Division Three? http://thengamer.com/guru/stats.php?match=115 That covers everything, have a fun season Gurus! --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

So can the Cookie entry still "win" this? I see it is still listed as being alive. Based on that table, no. Currently COOKIE has the same score as Advokaiser, but COOKIE has Link, Cloud, Snake, Link while Advo has Link, Cloud, Cloud, Link. Seeing as how Link, Cloud, Zelda, Link is a SpikeDragon win, not an Advokaiser win, COOKIE is out of it. --- "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power.

Okay I've updated the Guru site to show only the four from above as still alive. Five. There are 5 in that table. Don't worry, I missed Xuxon at first too. D.Va and Waluigi both being in Zelda's division means that a RallyFEAR bracket based on one of them got full losers' bracket points from Zelda's run. --- "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!"

Sucks that I did my bracket last minute and forgot to enter the Guru this year. Well I say forgot, traditionally I don't enter anyway as I've only ever had like 2 good brackets
I was just looking at the brackets to see what could catch me. Is XIII's bracket actually possible? Unless the wrong result was fixed? Looks like he has Megaman winning losers R5 but Mario winning losers final. That's not possible if he also has Mario winning R4 losers. I assume he had Megaman R4 losers and then Mario losers R5 and losers final. Which means he can catch me I think ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just curious, which of you guys are eligible for prizes? >_>
Barring major surprises, I'm expecting my Official Entry to finish anywhere between ~15th and ~35th. In prior contests that awarded 10 monetary prizes, ~16th has historically been the threshold, though it's gone as far down as 23rd. I'm not too optimistic, but in case I do win one of those $25 gift cards, it's $25 - $8 state+local taxes - $10 notary fee - $3 parking or bus ride to notary = ~$4 net profit. :D --- 2012 U_U 2017 X_X ...
