Q: I don’t like ASCII and/or typing. Is there some other way I can enter my predictions?
A: Yes. See this post for graphical representations of the four division ladders. You are free to mark up those pictures with the graphics editing software of your choice and send them instead of the official prediction form. Submitted graphics should be in PNG format – other formats may also work but PNG is sure to.
Q: What is Calculon?
A: Calculon is a wondrous piece of machinery that, through a devious arrangement of mechanical gears and punched cards, simulates human thought itself! It will be used to implement a “virtual matchup” methodology drawing from IFDB data, which will “predict” the winner of each match. In order to avoid influencing the matches themselves, Calculon’s predictions will be shared only at the end of each segment.
Calculon’s predictions for the remainder of the tournament will be updated at the end of each segment based on actual results. Can you beat this technological marvel in making forecasts? Find out by entering your predictions before the deadline at the end of March 7th UTC!
