World Championships 2013 - Predictions

[ottozing]

He's 100% not going

 

[Noahaha]

He's 100% not going

Despite the countless posts about how he's not going, and confirmation from him both online and in person that he's not going, I'm still confident that he may. Let's just wait this one out.

 

[Hays]

Here's an idea:

We can turn this into a better game where we score points for each "correct" prediction. If your chosen competitors finishes 1st 2nd or 3rd, then you score 3, 2, or 1 points respectively. After all the results are up, we tally up our points to give a score out of 51 (17 events * 3 points). The person with the most points wins.

The prize: ???

Swim Swam does something similar for the NCAA contest. The points system is pretty simple and the way they have the website layout is really nice and it auto scored every person's entries.

I have no idea how hard this would be to copy for the worlds contest but that would be super cool.

Also. Time to make 3x3 finals. 9.50.

[David Zemdegs]

The 4x4 final will be more exciting than the 5x5 final from last worlds.

 

[pjk]

9.45 avg to make 3x3 finals.
sub-7.65 avg to win 3x3.

 

[Sin-H]

9.45 would be #18 on the psych sheet as of now. I think it's highly unlikely that there are so many PB avgs in the semifinals and/or so few of the Top16 choke. However, so many people between 9.5 and 10 :O

 

[MirzaCubing]

Is Yu Nakajima still going? He was on the psych sheet a couple months ago be then he disappeared O:

[AustinReed]

2x2: Austin Reed

I love you.

 

[Divineskulls]

Mega top 3:
1. Odder
2. Simon
3. Me

Third is a longshot. Sorry Chris.
Also, my reasoning on putting Simon second is that Odder seems a lot more consistent.
This may change at some point, there's still more than a month left. Will add other predictions later.

Update:
Mega podium:
Simon
Me
Odder

I'm getting too confident here.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[kinch2002]

How about
Psych sheet position
x 3 if they win,
x 2 if they come second
x 1 if they come third

 

[Noahaha]

That's pretty great. So you just choose one person per event then.

The only loophole is that I could for example choose myself for 5BLD since I don't have an official result yet, so I'm last on the psych sheet.

 

[Marcell]

Are you allowed to compete in 5BLD with no official result so far? Two years ago qualification was required.

 

[Noahaha]

Are you allowed to compete in 5BLD with no official result so far? Two years ago qualification was required.

But I'm so fast!

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Are you allowed to compete in 5BLD with no official result so far? Two years ago qualification was required.

Yes. Qualification is not required this year.

 

[cubernya]

I think Noah could be an exception even if it was required

 

[Noahaha]

Yes. Qualification is not required this year.

yay

I think Noah could be an exception even if it was required

That wouldn't be fair.
