Welcome to the Arabia 1v1: Invitational prediction contest.
The premise of this is simple: predict the outcome of each of the 68 matches scheduled and receive points based on how close your prediction is to the actual outcome.
Rules |
- Participants can enter any time before the deadline. The deadline to enter bets is February 5th 20:00 GMT. Any bets placed after the deadline, will be voided.
- An entry consists of a score prediction for every match yet to be played and the finishing order of the groups. Entries with invalid scores will be disqualified. Remember that every match is a best of 5 match.
- Entries must be submitted using the template below.
- Multiple entries will result in disqualification.
- You are allowed to edit your future predictions up until the entry deadline. Please mark on your entry somewhere that you made an edit. Any edits made after the deadline will void that entry.
- Matches played before your entry will not be accepted or count towards your score.
- When games are being played before the deadline, that particular wager will close at the match start. These bets cannot be edited.
- Bets considering the group placement may be edited until the deadline, even if an already played match has finished. I.e. you predicted player X to finish last, but player X has won his first game, the end position of player X may be edited to a higher place.
- Rules are subject to change as deemed necessary.
- Players in the tournament are not allowed to bet on their own games. However these players will be compensated to “fill” in the blanks based on their performance predicting the other games.
- Prediction contest admins are nimanoe and prv_limb. Admins can always be contacted with any questions or other things concerning the contest.
- You must have a PayPal account to receive your prize.

Scoring |
Each entry will receive points based upon accuracy of their predictions and such. The entry with the highest total at the conclusion of the tournament is the winner. In case of a tie, the prize will be split amongst the winners.
Scoring will work as follows:
- For predicting the exact outcome of a match, receive 2 points.
- For correctly predicting winner of the match, receive 1 point.
- For correctly predicting final placement of a player, receive 1 point (e.g. Predicted player X to finish 2nd and player X actually does finish 2nd).
- For correctly predicting 4 consecutive places of a group receive 3 additional points (per group). So points will be rewarded when a participant correctly predicts either place 1-4, 2-5 or 3-6. (Note these bonuses will stack to a maximum of 6 points, so for correctly predicting all places in a group you will receive 6 bonus points)
A "perfect" entry is worth 228 points broken down as follows:
120 points from rule 1, with 60 perfect predictions of matches
60 points from rule 2, for correctly predicting the winner of 60 matches
24 points from rule 3, for correctly predicting final placement of 24 players
24 points from rule 4, for correctly predicting the exact order of the 6 players in a group
Each match is worth up to 3 points (with a perfect prediction; 2 points from rule 1 and 1 point from rule 2). The other possible outcomes are:
- 1 point: Predicted correct winner but off by two games in final score.
- 0 points: Did not predict correct winner and final score.
