Oh uh so you have to vote in all 4 matches to?

Suddenly feeling even better about not betting on any rallies this year.
Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment!

The first test is to find the battles themselves. Only then can you truly be a contest winner.

The poll page doesn't show the same percentages of the contest page. Weird.

Any thoughts on whether the registered user bonus is already included?
Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness.

Wait what? Why are matches starting today?! The rules said October 19th, didn't they?

Man Spyro is weak
If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.

It's October 19th in UTC time.

Lightning doing better than I anticipated, hopefully this is good news for Noctis.

But man people are not feeling nostalgic about Spyro, at all.

Hard to say since we've never had a contest at this time, but as of now I'd say yes.

I imagine bracket-voting is going to be stronger than normal thanks to the double-vote mechanic.

The percentages appear different in the hub page for the day compared to the individual results if you click "view detailed results".

Until evidence suggests otherwise I'm going to assume the counts/percentages in the individual results pages are in terms of raw numbers, and the percentages on the hub page are after taking into account the registered user bonus.

Edit: Ok nevermind I think they may just be updating slower on the hub page.

CRAP! I thought it was supposed to start TOMORROW....otherwise I would have refined my Oracle picks. Oh, well.

Well, I'm hoping that Neku just sucks (I have Vivi over Ganondorf...). Granted, we're only a little ways in. And now my Crash > Cecil pick is pretty much shot. But then again, Cecil may find a way to choke anyway.

I'm assuming the differing percentages from both results page mean that the bonus is included only in the detailed results, making casual voters be swayed accordingly.

Smart move, Allen.

Weird, all 4 matches have the exact same vote totals (overall totals, not individual character totals) right now.

Smart move, Allen.

I assumed the reverse. That since the detailed results is the only place where we're given vote totals that it's the place where the raw data is and the simple results is where the bonus is, also that's where your votes are shown so it's already tracking how you voted there - makes sense that it would also apply the bonus if relevant.

Well, outside of using scripts you have to vote for all 4 matches, don't you?
