Looking at the match picture, it would be hard for me to say Samus gets
over 90% now. Nidoran F looks infinitely more prominent than Yuri ever
did... --- Commit it to memory. |

Not a bad pic...needs more Samus bias though. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Samus vs. Nidoran F - Bracket: Samus - Vote: Samus (0/0) |

I'll repeat my question from the end of the last topic: how do you guys
find the match pictures within minutes of when they're posted? Do you
have a script running in the background that checks for them at every
conceivable URL every five seconds or something? --- For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener |

Could somebody please link me to the bracket entry [that I've completed] for this contest? I want to obtain my tiebreaker before the tourney starts, so the Gurus don't think I cheated or something if I find my tiebreaker late... I even used the search feature, and only found a link that went to the SC2K5 bracket. ;_; --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"

AFAIK the tiebreaker isn't displayed anywhere. If you don't remember it, you're out of luck. --- I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest. Support Toadette for the Summer 2006 Contest! |

Oh, well. If I'm lucky I wrote it down in a notebook somewhere (thus I
could submit the tb late), but I'm not able to go to my home right
now... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Worst comes to worst you could always make a tiebreaker up. Who's going to know unless you win? --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

The tiebreaker is useless unless you win, though. You aren't
disqualified if you don't submit one. You just get a tiebreaker of 0. --- I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest. Support Toadette for the Summer 2006 Contest! |

Yeah, and you don't actually have to submit your exact prize bracket
