So with a little over a day left until the opening night of the G1 (unless I misunderstood the time conversions), I have decided to run a prediction contest to help people get even more excitement out of this awesome tournament. It's simple:
-You may join in at any time; joining after the first show will put you at a big disadvantage, though
-It's not mandatory to post predictions for every show all at once, but I do feel like you will have more fun if you do it like that
-Editing posts is an automatic DQ...HOWEVER, you may change your pick for any show except the first one, as long as it is posted before the start of the show you are wanting to change it on and is in a separate, unedited post from your original
-2 points for every match predicted correctly; 5 points for correctly predicting who will compete in the finals; 5 points for correctly predicting the winner of the whole G1
-This post is (obviously) going to contain spoilers.
-I don't know what the prize is yet. It might be a DVD, it might be a VHS, maybe it'll just be cash or a gift card, perhaps I can cut a video promo on you or send you my autograph xD...there's a lot of possibilities, and different scenarios of why something can't be given as a prize. So I'll save the prize reveal for the end, and if you win, we can discuss what I can get you (within reason, obviously)
