This past weekend was a bit of an anomaly - there's a handful of these every year that seem to defy patterns and expectations. In another prediction game I used to play, these would be the weeks where someone totally random (who usually finishes 57th) wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe I don't know anything about myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those anomaly weekends will be the ones responsible for eliminating the best players from the Tournament lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) OMG, I beat the Derby God! By a mere .6 I thought his $7m pick for 50Shades was going to clinch it for him. Edited February 1, 2016 by TalismanRing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Damn, I'm out of the tournament and got my first ever 0% score (for PPZ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDerby Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 So will this tournament be running again after this is over? Or will you have a week or two break? I would request a break, that way we can take scores from the week before and use those as the seeding for the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyLL Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Congrats to @kayumanggi and @moviecriticguy who advance to the final match to determine the winner of the tournament. @Wrath and @Bozly will battle out for 3rd place. I'll try to get the tournament page fixed to display both matches properly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas if I lose to Bozly I'm out of the money in 4th! I'm honestly still shocked I wasn't knocked out in the first round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
