*** Official CatsIllustrated Kentucky vs Virginia Tech Prediction Contest ***

@Gabewcat, I took your first prediction since you didn't say to override. Congrats to @Hang_Time_2 who had our best prediction today. Congrats also to @pappy52 who hung on to be our champion predictor this year. Congrats to @*CatinIL, @AsianPICat, @Cat4life_, and @number8please who all scored in 6 prediction contests.

It's been fun this year. I would never have guessed that we could have won this game giving up more than 200 yards rushing but we did.

Welcome to the Official Kentucky vs Virginia Tech Prediction Contest!

Follow the rules below and make your prediction. I'll publish the results after the game. 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 your prediction as my scripts may not be able to find your prediction.

The rules are simple. Whoever predicts the correct winner with the score closest to the actual score wins. The method of determining your score is to 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. You now don't have to have the correct winner to make the list but you incur a penalty of the worst score of those who picked 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 will end after the bowl season.

Your post should look something really close to what is between the lines below. Remember the ":"s and the word "Tiebreaker:"! Do not!! use a "-" as a separator because some of our tiebreakers can be negative.

This week's tiebreaker is Virginia Tech Rushing Yards.

Kentucky vs Virginia Tech game:

--------------------------
Kentucky: 27
Virginia Tech: 17

Tiebreaker: 129
--------------------------

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 whenever we play Virginia Tech, I'll make an effort to accept any name you can think of that is not obscene.

Thanks Old Red for your volunteer leadership and work in heading up these contests. I enjoyed participating.
 
Until Rivals, Las Vegas Sports Betting, or CBS Sports rewrites their web pages, none of the contests are too hard to run. My biggest problem is not seeing deleted posts for the SUP contest.

I did it originally because MTCatfan was having some trouble keeping up with the SUP game when it was gaining more participants. I kept running it when Tubby and Gillespie were torturing us in basketball and I wanted to do something on Rivals but didn't want to be negative. I do it mostly now because people seem to enjoy it. I do appreciate the kind words though.
