you're being repetitive and boring....

Awful week coming up looks like my rank will have another chance this weekend

I am just hoping that others performed even more spectacularly than I

Results for game 10.

MG Casey - 9
SolC9 - 8
Jack Sparrow - 7
Omni - 7
Rev - 7
trixster - 7
Proud Ryu - 6
i.hope - 5

Yikes, one missed Risk Booster really cost i.hope a chance to tie for the win in this round. I guess the tilt slightly worked for some people, but not significantly enough. Nobody got the ranges for Sherlock nor Alvin. 4 people found Young Adults, but only two solved the Impossible Mission. 5 of you made it to New Years Eve. 4 of you found a Sitter for Arthur. 7 of you found Hugo. One more week and two rounds to go. Confused? I explain it to you....after I give the standings in the next post...

Standings after 10 games.

Omni - 86
Jack Sparrow - 85
i.hope - 77
Proud Ryu - 71
SolC9 - 69
MG Casey - 59
trixster - 54
Rev - 46

Not much of a change in the differences, but no change in rankings. Hopefully this two parter game can change the whole thing.

Here is the info for game 11

Predict Wednesday Grosses
The Adventures of Tintin (range - 3 million)
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (range - 3 million)
Mission: Impossible 4 (range - 3 million)
Sherlock Holmes 2 (range - 2 million)

Yep, only 4 films. But here is the catch. Rev will get 4 points for each one he gets right, MG Casey and trixster will get 3 points for each one they get right. Proud Ryu and SolC9 will get 2 points for each one they get right, and i.hope will get 1 point for each one they get right. Omni and Jack Sparrow cannot play this round at all. But don't fret, even with the maximum scores, they will not match the totals the top two already have, this is only to give them a shot to not be mathematically eliminated from the game. Predictions are due on Wednesday at noon. Do not be late. Game 12 info coming up.

Info for the Game 12 Days of Christmas Spectacular game.

(Do as noted, and for all weekends, I want only the 3-day Friday-Sunday gross)
Adventures of Tintin (weekend gross) (range - 5 million)
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (weekend gross) (range - 5 million)
Mission Impossible 4 (weekend gross) (range - 5 million)
We Bought a Zoo (weekend gross) (range - 4 million)

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 (weekend gross) (range - 4 million)
New Year's Eve (weekend gross) (range - 2 million)
Hugo (weekend gross) (range - 1 million)
The Sitter (weekend gross) (range - 1 million)

That's right, 20 films to predict (only 14 are mandatory). You will get two points for each one that is right, and 4 points for every Risk Booster that is right (and minus 4 for each one wrong), meaning that there is total of 52 points up for grabs here. Predictions are due on Midnight on Wednesday Pacific time, so do not be late, or there will be a 2 point deduction for each hour that you are late. There will also be a 2 point deduction for each wrong range. And if anyone reveals any part of their score, or says how good or bad they think they did on this game before the scores have been tabulated (Sparrow), you will be disqualified. So keep your predictions and your scores a secret and predict away. Oh and by the way, when you send in predictions, give me the name of your favorite fast food restaurant (cause the runner up gets that prize). Get your predictions in and have yourself a Merry Christmas!

Wow you could have told me that before....I am scared now

Another question though I already know the answer. We get 2 point deduction for every wrong range even the mandatory 14, plus for Risk Boosters there is 4 point deduction. Am I right ?

No, there is no point deductions for the mandatory 14. They are free for guessing.

Can you please then explain the bold statements? Maybe I am missing something here.....

The points are doubled here. Any mandatory 14 is worth 2 points instead of one, and the risk boosters are worth 4 points for every one right instead of two., and minus four if you miss them. There will be a 2 point deduction if you give me a wrong range (like if the range was 2 million, and a player puts 4-7 million for example, it will be automatically counted wrong and will get a 2 point deduction cause the range was 3 instead of the two that was asked for).

Alright got it...I somehow misread it

Edit: Never mind. Just realized both movies are to be released Sunday.

They're not released until Christmas Day. That one day is their weekend.

yeah... my bad.

Results for Game 12.

Rev - 8
MG Casey - 6
Proud Ryu - 4
SolC9 - 4
i.hope - 3

Looks like trixster took full advantage of this game since he is the only one to get all of his right (worth 3 points each for him). Rev got only 2 right to get only 8 points. i.hope got three right, but worth only 1 point each for him. Everyone else got 2. Lets see how his shakes up heading for the last game.

The standings heading to the last game.

Omni - 86

trixster jumped ahead of MG Casey thanks to this game. Now the moment of truth comes. Who will be victorious in this game and win that special prize. Stay tune after the holidays to see what comes up. Till then, have a Merry, and safe Christmas weekend.

And a Merry Christmas to you as well Scottie

The Final Results are in. Drumrolls please..................

Coming in 8th place is...

Coming in 7th place is...

Coming in 6th place is...

Coming in 5th place is...

Coming in 4th place is...

The top three players, will be coming up in just a few minutes.

Now comes the Top 3 players. The runner up wins $5 dollars to his favorite fast food, or any type of store of his choosing, and the winner wins a DVD of his choice (a cap of $20 that is).

I am going to reveal the winner in an America's Funniest Home Videos format, by revealing the runner up first, than the winner, meaning that the remaining player come in 3rd.

Okay, here we go.

The 2nd place winner is...

Spoiler: show

Proud Ryu, who got an impressive 24 points in this round, bringing is final total to 99 points.

...he will win a 5 dollar certificate to his favorite food joint

The final winner between will be revealed in just a moment.

Between the two remaining players, we will now answer the question, will we see the first repeat winner on the show, or will a rookie take the thrown.

The winner of Split Decision Season 5 is.....

Spoiler: show

Omni, with a Grand Total of 110 points. He too did impressively in the last game with 24 points. Jack on the other hand, got only 14 points, bringing his score to 99 points. But since he did not give a name to his favorite food joint as instructed, Ryu is declared the runner up.

So there you have it, the winner of the first season of this show is the winner of the 5th season, and is now the first repeat winner in the history of this show. Send me your address per PM with the DVD of your choice, whatever works in your region (cap of $20, or whatever currency you use), and your prize will be on the way.

This ends another season of Split Decision. Until next fall...Thank you all for playing, and have a Happy and Safe New Year.

Just to be clear I am not from America so I was going to give my vouchers to anyone who came in third anyways thus no name was given from my end (this is even better though ).

Congratulations Omni and Ryu.

But on your part Scottie I see it unfair to not declare a tie for second place just because I did not give the fast food name that was not a mandatory condition to win. I don't mind giving the vouchers...but anyways that is your decision and I will honor it (still unfair)

thx Scottie and congrats Omni

Sorry for that. I also made this decision also based on the fact that Ryu did better on this round than you did, so he got the higher ranking also based on that.
