FLASH FIGHT #2: Hide contents Predict the films on the MovieTickets.com Top 5, along with the top 5% sale percentages, at 11:59PM EST on Thursday Night! 1 point for each film accurately included (bonus +2 for all 5 correct) 1 point for each film in the proper rank (bonus +2 for all 5 correct) The percentages themselves will be scored derby style. You do not have to have the correct films corresponding to the EXAMPLE: You predict a top 5 of the following LIFE - 55% Boss Baby - 10% Trainspotting - 7% BATB - 4% CHIPS - 3% Suppose only LIFE, BATB, and CHIPS are on the list, and LIFE and BATB are in the right positions. You get five points. The percentages will be scored against whichever film is in that position (i.e. you will be scored for your percentage predictions independent of whichever film you predicted to have that percentage.) Then, your derby score for the five percentages will be multiplied by the number of points you received in the film accuracy section. PREDICTIONS DUE 11:59PM EST ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT! 10 minutes ago, ChipMunky said: You REALLY need to work on your wording. Because that's bullshit.

Well when the top of the text says THURSDAY AT 11:59PM, and the bottom says something different, I think it's important to have clarification. Don't be a dick.

In my defense, I didn't actually intend to abstain this time. I just misread the post and thought our votes were *due* Thursday night. The Flash Fights and weekly predicts having different due dates is throwing me off. Like when you're trying to shoot someone and they keep changing direction on you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for the confusion, but I really tried to make clear the differentiation between the due date and the time at which the top 5 would be calculated. I've tried to be very consistent in making the due date clear at the bottom of each challenge. That said, I'll probably never do a MovieTickets or Fandango challenge again, lmao. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
