Good news, everyone! The Guru site for the '10 season is now up and running! http://thengamer.com/guru/ First off, a big round of applause for fett, jose, and Spike, our three tireless workers who entered an astounding 220+ brackets for this season- easily a new Guru record! As for the features on the site, you should be used to most of them by now if you participated in the Guru last season. There have been a few tweaks however- one is that due to popular demand I've decided to list the "Guru Cookie" on the rankings this season. (The Cookie is the most "cookie cutter" bracket possible, aka it always selects our most popular choice for each match.) HOWEVER, the Cookie will not cost anyone a ranking position; for instance it's tied for first right now, but listed in "0th" place so that Leon gets to keep the #1 next to his name. Some returning features: * click any user's name anywhere on the site to see their bracket * you can re-sort the main page by score (default), TB, risks, their pick in the current match, Dead/Alive status, or even alphabetically by username- just click the headers * currently "Today's Pick" is pointing to Match 5, Luigi vs Meta Knight. if you'd rather see everyone's pick for the next match, change the dropdown to "6" and hit the button- now you see all the picks for Shadow vs Ammy! * any pick anywhere on the site that goes against the Guru Cookie is rewarded with red text But surely the most popular feature of all are those Guru Stats! You can check them at any time by clicking "Matchup Stats" on top, which takes you to http://thengamer.com/guru/stats.php Here we have the listing of every match along with how many brackets picked each possible winner. NEW FEATURE! Handy color coded text on the left to remind you whether that poll will be a Day Match, Night Match, or 24 hour poll. OLD FEATURE! Click the "Who Picked Whom" button to see the complete listing of what users selected each winner in their brackets. --- So be sure to tag this topic and follow along with our daily updates on the Leaderboard, the Upset Watch, and (coming soon) Eliminations! Also, don't forget to click your own name on the front page to confirm that your bracket is 100% accurate. Happy Guruing! --- New Fettbox The Fettbox - http://fettbox.byethost8.com/ |

So lucky Sub-Zero and Jecht (hopefully) are pulling it out. Two very crucial matches. My bracket lives on! Come on Big Daddy, Hayabusa, Charizard, and Auron... --- No match for KrahenProphet's extreme Guru skills. |

Tied for 203 out of 222 remaining at this stage. Not liking my chances. Hoping Jecht will hang on here, will move me up a bit, but not going to be anything like the margin I expected. --- ~ Ringworm ~ |

Assuming there isn't a sudden reversal this morning, we only have one bracket in danger for the next match. The following will be eliminated with a Ratchet win: Harrich (Kracko/ToadYoshi) --- KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest. |

Nice work getting P2 up fett! Okay, I've updated the site with all the new eliminations from Subby's win. (Except for the Cookie, since the point of that is to float there in the main rankings as a barometer for how you're doing.) --- You should search B8 for The Show, hosted by Ng & Ed! thengamer.com/guru | thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com |

Hey, I need my bracket and points changed. I wrote this in the last thread but no one answered. I picked Glados over Fawful and yet the guru site has it as the opposite thus leaving me a point short. I can screencap my bracket if necessary. --- GDiffuser|Nothing's wrong with him Current score: 30 | Current pick: Tidus |
