HoyaTalkers, it's November and our annual season-long prediction contest is back for more and that means the 2023-24 Hoya Oracle Award is up for grabs!!!
Again, congrats to 1427hoya for winning the 2022-2023 Hoya Oracle Award!
RULES:
1. The WINNNER of each Prediction Thread is the poster who correctly predicts the outcome of the game (team win or loss).
2. TIE-BREAKERS are determined by which posters' predictions are:
(a) Closest to actual margin of victory or defeat (by points off)
(b) Closest to Hoyas' actual score
(c) Closest to Opponents' actual score
(d) Closest to total score
(e) Cleverness.
3. No predictions after game starts.
4. Scores can be changed up to gametime. Any changes after that point will not be considered.
5. If two posters have the same prediction, the earliest submitted prediction is the one that counts and the other poster’s prediction will be eliminated.
For our new posters, here's an example of 2(a):
Opponent won with a final score of 91-89. Everyone who picked GU to win is eliminated. Two posters predicted Opponent’s win, with Poster A predicting 78-66 and Poster B predicting 72-70.
Poster A: (91-78) + (89-66) = 13 + 23 = 36 off the actual final score
Poster B: (91-72) + (89-70) = 19 + 19 = 38 off the actual final score
Thus, Poster A won by 2 points.
Good luck to all!
