Official Prediction Contest for
Conquerors Cup 14

Link to the Tournament Thread

Thanks to the Clan Department there will be a tiered prize of CC credits to the winner based upon the number of entries. In the event of an unbroken tie, the prize will be shared equally amongst the joint winners. This competition is open to all CC members, whether you're a clan member or not.

The Rules
To enter the contest, you must complete 2 steps:

1. The Contest will be done on Challonge.com, visit this LINK and submit a prediction entry.
Please include your CC name(or something to distinguish you from others) in the name of your prediction.

2. Post in this thread. In your post you must submit a predicted final score for the two Semi-Final (55 games) and Final (61 games) matches, which will be used as a tiebreaker. Also, please indicate which prediction belongs to you.

Tiebreaker: In the event that a tiebreaker is needed, the scores posted in this thread will be used. The Clans you choose does NOT matter, but the scores do. 1st tiebreak is the score margin of the Final match, closest wins. If still tied, the entrant with the least difference from the score of Semi-Final A in addition to difference from the score of Semi-Final B will be declared the winner.

The Prizes
0-10 participants = 1,200 credits

I really hope people are just waiting to see if TOFU or FALL wins the finals...cause this is a very sad turnout so far!

I understand the motivation to change the seeding, but it has never been fine this way before. In past years if the finals weren't complete (they never have been), the higher ranked of the two clans got the 1st seed. Asking people to make brackets without knowing which clans would be present in the brackets is a mistake.
I was waiting for the finals to be decided before putting in a prediction. If they aren't decided before the Feb 1 deadline, I won't bother making one.

[MichelSableheart]

requiring using an external site instead of posting in the forum as with the League contest is the reason why I decided not to put in the effort.

This is certainly a tricky spot. We didn't run a prediction contest last year because of this, but I felt this year we might as well try to run one. I view the seeding of the actual event as the priority, so if the prediction contest suffers because of it, that sucks but it is how it will be as ensuring correct seeding is more impactful I think.
