Welcome to the Official Kentucky vs Vanderbilt SEC Prediction Contest!
Follow the rules below and make your prediction. I'll publish the results after the game in a post on this thread. You can put any comment you would like below your score prediction (put '***' after your prediction to make it easier to separate the comments) but try not to put anything above as my scripts may not be able to find your prediction. This is the 2nd of three prediction Contests this season: the OOC Contest, the SEC Regular Season contest, and the Postseason Contest.
Whoever predicts the score closest to the actual score wins. I take the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the Kentucky score and the actual plus the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the opponent score and the actual. However, there is a penalty for picking the wrong winner. That penalty is the worst score among those who predicted the correct winner. In case of a tie, the tiebreaker is used. In case of a tie in the tiebreaker, we have more than one winner.
I will be awarding points for the first 10 places and including a bonus of 3 additional points for making a perfect prediction. I will track cumulative point totals and the number of games you make the top 10. This contest runs for the entire SEC regular season.
Your post should look something really close to what is between the lines below. Remember the ":"s and the word "Tiebreaker:". Remember the ":"s and the word "Tiebreaker:"! Do not!! use a "-" as a separator because some of our tiebreakers will can be negative.
This game's tiebreaker is Vanderbilt Turnovers.
Kentucky vs Vanderbilt game:
Kentucky: 81
Vanderbilt: 50
Tiebreaker: 18
Just cut and paste everything between the lines above into your reply and then modify the scores and tiebreaker as you see fit. If you don't know how to do that, type very carefully. Remember to type in the word "Tiebreaker:" so that I can find it. Anything my scripts can't figure out will not count.
Don't edit your post or try to post a score after the game has started.
BTW I really would prefer exact names for the teams, but will try to be accommodating as long as it doesn't create too much work for me. If we are playing Louisville, just about anything not obscene will be OK.
To copy and paste, move the cursor to the first character you want to copy and then left click and hold the mouse and move the cursor to the last character you want to copy while holding the left mouse button. Release the left mouse button. The text you want to copy will be highlighted. Move the cursor inside the highlighted area, then right click the mouse. A pulldown menu will appear. Select the "copy" tab. In the message frame of your post, right click the mouse. A pulldown menu will appear. Select "paste" and the copied text should appear.
Warning! If you notice that your prediction doesn't appear in the thread even though you are sure you posted one. Try replying to a different post than the original one. If there are too many replies to the original post, it seems like your post just disappears.
