The Nemesis
Semper Tyrannus
As I alluded to in the WJC thread, I wanted to finally do something that will award people some extra avatar packs since there are still plenty unaccounted for.
To facilitate that we're going to have a prediction contest that runs for the remaining 8 games of the 2021 WJCs. Here's how it's going to work:
Basically in the spirit of SNOG contests, for each round, make your prediction on the winner and score of each game. Based on the results you'll earn points. At the end of the tournament, after the medal games are decided, everyone's total points will be tallied up and the winners will claim their prize.
What are you playing for?
First place will receive two (2) packs of HFSJ avatars.
Second Place will receive one (1) pack of avatars along with one randomly selected rare/legendary avatar from the batch of leftovers I had that didn't make it into packs (they aren't rejects or anything. I literally just ended up having about 10-20 extras across both rarities that didn't make it into packs that were prepped for distribution. In all aspects they're the same as anything you might find in a finished pack. Same theme sets, same everything.). As I do with the packs I set odds for having a legendary replace the rare, so I'll run those odds before awarding the prize.
Third Place will receive one (1) pack of avatars.
The Rules
ahead of each round (Quarters, Semis, Gold/Bronze Medal games) make your predictions for those games. Your predictions should include:
1) The winner of the game
2) the final score of the game
If you get either of the above correct you get 1 point. If you get both correct you get 2 points. I was going to make it more complicated, but decided against doing that.
You have until puck-drop on the first game of the round to get your predictions in for that round.
At the end of the tournament, winners will be determined by total points. Ties will be broken by, in order:
1) number of completely correctly guessed games (as in both winner and score correct) across the whole contest
2) number of points earned in the medal round
3) number of points earned in the semis
4) number of points earned in the quarterfinals
5) if we make it down this far, I'll probably just flip a coin or roll a die or something to break ties.
The Quarterfinal matchups are:
Canada vs Czech Republic
Finland vs Sweden
Russia vs Germany
USA vs Slovakia
Good luck to everyone who enters. If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer.
Quarterfinal predictions are due by 9am PT on Saturday, January 2nd.
