Welcome to the WSVG World Championships prediction contest, we apologize for the late announcement. We were not previously planning on running this contest but due to popular demand we now are.
The premise of this is simple: predict the outcome of each of the 24 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 July 6th. 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 7 game.
- 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.
- 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.
- The players in the tournament are not allowed entry.
- Prediction contest admins are nimanoe (until July 3rd) 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.
1st - $100 & 1 Year Voobly Platinum Premium
2nd - $50 & 1 Year Voobly Gold Premium
3rd - 1 Year Voobly Silver Premium
A perfect entry will win an extra 1 Year Voobly Platinum Premium
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 3 points.
- For a prediction off by one game, receive 1 point (e.g. Prediction is 4-1, Actual is 4-2 or 4-0).
- 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 the first, second, third and fourth place of a group receive 6 additional points (per group).
A "perfect" entry is worth 136 points broken down as follows:
72 points from rule 1, with 24 perfect predictions of matches
0 points from rule 2, with 0 predictions 1 game off
24 points from rule 3, for correctly predicting the winner of 24 matches
16 points from rule 4, for correctly predicting final placement of 16 players
24 points from rule 5, for correctly predicting the exact order of the 4 players in a group
Each match is worth up to 4 points (with a perfect prediction; 3 points from rule 1 and 1 point from rule 3). The other possible outcomes are:
- 2 points: Predicted correct winner but off by one game in final score
- 1 point: Predicted correct winner but off by two games in final score OR off by one game in final score but predicted incorrect winner (e.g. predicted 3-2 but actual was 2-3)
- 0 points: Did not predict correct winner and was off by two or more games in final score.
