Note: Write down your tiebreaker somewhere (even if you're not going to post your bracket right now), because it often disappears after lockdown.
---

(Before we get started I'd like to give special thanks to TRE, who has automated bracket entry for this year and will be helping me run the Guru site all season. Thanks dude!)

Welcome to the Guru Contest for Game of the Decade 2020! If you've never played before, the Guru is a competition open to everyone on B8. Just post your bracket in this topic and we'll get it uploaded to the website which will track everyone's progress automatically from now through when a game of the decade winner is raised to everlasting fortune and fame. Before you enter though, keep in mind the two parts of the Guru Contract:

1. You must congratulate the winner in your board signature and keep that up for two weeks.
2. You will owe one of your nominations for the next Contest to the winner, who gets to pick any entrant of their choice for us all to support.

If that sounds good then it's bracket posting time! There's a prefered method for posting your bracket this year. Post a link to your bracket directly using the source code, saving yourself typing. Follow along with these steps:

---Method A---

1) Go to your Bracket Entry page: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/features/gotd_entry

2) Refresh the page to make sure you are sending the most recent version of your bracket.

3) Right click

4) Choose "View Page Source" (Chrome or FireFox)/"View Source" (IE)/"Show Page Source" (Safari)
If you are on a mobile browser, try this: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000746.htm#droid

5) Press Ctrl+A (to select all text) then Ctrl+C (to copy all text)

6) Go to https://pastebin.com/

7) Ctrl+V to paste the text into the "New Paste" section

8) Press the "Create New Paste" button. (Solve the captcha that comes up if you have to, pastebin might think this is spam for some reason)

9) Copy the URL and paste it in this topic

Example:
https://pastebin.com/rL49qEBz

---Method B---

The old-fashioned way- type in your whole bracket or post screenshots.

(Please complete Method A if at all possible, it will save TRE lots of work!)

Okay that should cover it, good luck everyone!
---

Clarification 1- the Guru should be identical to your "official" prize-winning (if you're eligible) bracket, not what you "meant to put." Double check https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/features/gotd_entry NOW to make sure you're not stuck with a misclick come lockdown time!

Clarification 2- if you're still not sure about some picks, DON'T POST YOUR BRACKET YET! You'll have 48 hours after lockdown to get it entered; we'd rather have you submit a little late versus having 13 corrections for us to make on the website later.

Fodder bracket. Originally was a favorites bracket and then I went back couple weeks later while drinking and made some changes. I'm sticking with my drunk choices.
