I think I've done decent so far. Aside from a couple of matches which threw me for a loop. Got to see how Takeover pans out.

I knew if I picked Nikki I'd need a backup differential to make it up on if Charlotte won, so I picked Sasha.................... great way to lose the title

I know that, which means I didn't have the differential to offset my Nikki pick which went wrong and give me a chance to win still. Not a complaint, just unfortunate. That was the only other match me and Necro predicted differently

World Prediction Championship 2021 Event #13 Results


This weekend proved to be action packed wrestling wise, and so the field had to contend with the three separate events. As has already been established, what took place at Event #12 directly affected the matchups on this card. Another match that was affected and therefore was voided from the ballot was the Smackdown Women's Championship, with the entrants altered on the fly and therefore removing that pick from the set. At a change of pace, our first focus is actually going to be the WPC Grand Championship. That was being contested between Haza and the new number one contender Necro.

In an incredibly close contest, the difference between losing and retaining the championship was just one pick. At the same time, for the third time this season and also the second time by Necro - a perfect round was achieved. And on top of that perfect round, Necro become the third person to claim the WPC Grand Championship as their own. Congratulations!

Necro

Focusing on the Main Event scene, our next contest is for the Open The Prediction Gate Championship clash between the first Grand Champion of the season Chris and a predictor who has been left frustrated with holding championship draws, with both the former Grand Champions. One thing is confirmed - and that is the winner/s will be Necro's first title challengers.

Open The Prediction Gate Championship

Jeff vs. Chris

2nd.Jeff122+10

In another tight affair, the difference in a major title match was only one win. However, it is Chris who advances and earn himself a shot at Necro at the next approved event.

Our next focus moves onto a new prize that was only recently unveiled ahead of this weekend 'The WPC Clout Cup' which after the Eliminator at Event #12, would see LadyHotRod and HoHo matched against each other with the chance of becoming the first Cup Holder, in a battle between two predictors that are both members of the 'Dream Warriors' Tag Team.

After a very successful Event #12 to gain entry into the Cup Final, the difference in the Clout is pretty clear cut with a +10 differential between both predictors - with HoHo being confirmed as the inaugural Clout Cup Holder.

HoHo



Our last focus in regards to singles action is of course the Grand Prix Event Championship, which was in LadyHotRod's possession. Based on the result of the Clout Cup, it has already been confirmed that the title has changed hands - but the question is, in whose is it resting?

6th.Blaze104+6
Tied 7thTFW95+4
Tied 7th.Juice95+4
9th.Smark770
10th.LHR68-2

With three predictors tied in first position, we refer to the rules in place for the GPE Championship:

- everyone not competing for another championship belt, is eligible to win the belt
- if predictors are tied in 1st place, the predictor with the lowest overall differential wins the belt
- if predictor can not be separated by their differential, then the belt is vacated
- the challenger has the advantage, if two predictors are tied 1st and one of them is the title holder, the champion loses the tie


Jimmy King entered the event with a differential of +17, Lethal Banks had a differential of +9, but with the lowest differential of +7 and ending the weekend with the title they start proceeding with and now becoming a two time WPC Grand Prix Event Champion, is Sky. Congratulations on your victory.

We mustn't forget that we had two further tag team contests booked for the Event #13 card, as well as a need to update the Tag League Standing.

Tag MatchNameWinsLossesDifferential
1st.Shinjuku Murder Klub235+18
2nd.Like Your Team, But Better1216-4

*Blaine failed to make a prediction and therefore failure to predict results as fourteen losses for his tag team, but won't count on his personal record.

The Lethal Drivers (Jeff & Lethal) vs. The Blissfits in Action (Jimmy King & Smark)
Tag MatchNameWinsLossesDifferential
1st.The Lethal Drivers244+20
2nd.The Blissfits in Action199+10

As it stand in the Tag Division, four teams are still without losses - but it is the Wall of Deth that currently holds the top spot in the Division by the way of two wins and a draw. The introduction of the Dream Warriors means, that a few tag teams will find themselves without an opponent on a number of the match cards, with the Wall of Deth as table toppers being the team that won't feature on the Event #14 card for tag team duty.

The complete results for Event #13 Summer Takeover is shown below:

Tied 11th.Juice95+4
13th.Smark770
14th.LHR68-2

Necro sits on top of the overall standing and is now in possession of the WPC Grand Championship at the same time and is now confirmed to be facing the Open The Prediction Gate Champion Chris at the next approved event for the biggest prize in the competition.

Jeff is ranked 2nd and Haza is Ranked 4th - and as the two highest predictors not involved in the Main Event, they will compete for the OTPG Championship as the two leading contenders.

Sky reclaimed the WPC Grand Prix Event Championship this weekend, and if they are able to win the title for a third time they will earn themselves a shot at the Grand Championship.

HoHo also become the inaugural Clout Cup Holder and the ramifications of this prize will be explained on next approved event card.

As a point of order - some of the way in which matches are decided in regards to ties, #1 contenders etc. are being looked at, with the possibility of altering the structure of the competition moving forward.

Another fucking tie and skimmed for a title. Brilliant. I'd like to suggest a PPG type of deal to break ties in future in that category.

Congrats winners and Lethal Drivers get their first win.

Like a weighted average of sorts - AEW differential affecting GCW scores just seems...skewed. Suck at one event but benefit from the next. It's really disheartening as well to tie so much.

I saw in previous forums that did this type of deal possible tie-breaker questions, e.g. what match will open, finish etc. I dunno, something more on the skill of the predictor than differential skewed by other events.

Are you talking about the Event Championship or the Grand Championship here?
