Congrats to Shawn for his win this weekend, and Michael for his continued dominance for the yearly chart. As for me, even after missing a game, I am still in the top ten. Amazing.

Congrats on the win this weekend Shawn.

Also, congrats on the Yearly Win, xiayun!

1 xiayun 44,845 87.08% 51
2 True Gopher 44,580 86.56% 51
3 Corpse 44,537 86.48% 51
4 Omni 44,537 86.48% 51

5 Proud Ryu 44,398 86.21% 51
6 8wombi7 44,208 85.84% 51
7 Bill D. 44,114 85.66% 51

9 keyser_soze123 43,782 85.01% 51
10 Scott Vasquez 43,679 86.49% 50


KJ becomes more dominate every year. And nice on making the Top 10, Scott, despite missing one game.

Are you playing again in 2011, BJ? If I remember correctly, you mentioned possibly going on a break?

Indeed i was very sad to see scotts predicts for some reason didn't make it through, as he never forgets to predict, Top 10 finish is still excellent all the same, the averages last year were mind boggling.

Ive decided to continue till i get my average rank under 100, should take a while as my average last year was in the 85 range, Im hoping this coming year to get it back down to the 65 range I was averaging in 09. I think two more years of predicting should do it, I'm hoping my lagging 2010 doesn't continue in 2011.

If I'm still having fun with it after that I'll continue, but I was extremely board with it last year, simply going through the motions, but we're currently in my favorite time of year to predict, gotta love jan-feb YAY!

KJ at the derby 2010 = unbeatable, congrats all :shades:

Congrats Shawn for the final win of the year.

And even though the final two games aren't included, it's a foregone conclusion: Congrats xiayun for winning 2010! And to all KJ members for predicting dominance.

What a high scoring year - crazy. No previous year had an 85%+ winner, and look how many broke 85% in 2010. I wonder if 2011 will see more of the same.

Thanks, guys! :)

Also, here are the current top 25 average scores for 2010. I started tabulating them over at BOM earlier this year before The Tramp (formerly Avery Gentle) took over for me. This doesn't include the final game yet, but figured everyone might be interested. For purposes of weeding out occasional players and ones that skip out on "hard" weekends, we instituted the rule that a player had to have played at least 75% of the games to-date to make the list.

(Minimum of 39 Games Played. 75% of 51 Games)

1. xiayun (87.08%) | 51

I see we're predicting Gulliver and not Black Swan this weekend, though it's hard to see Gulliver beating it.

Yeah, not predicting Black Swan is definitely a mistake. Much more exciting than Gulliver's Travels.

Derby ave with BOM estimates is a stunning 90.8%. Getting beaten by the derby ave is not a great way to start the year.

The average can be deceiving, though. It could indicate a fairly equal number of too-high and too-low predictions.

I just did a random calculation and would stand somewhere between 88% but the numbering was all messed up because of Narnia and was a good high on Gulliver. Hope I can be in Top 100 this game

I hope that's the case this time. I was oblivious to the snow storm effect so hopefully that will increase the standard deviation for each film.

Nice job hitting the top 20 Thunder.

The winner was playing their first game - beginner's luck...?

Terrible Narnia prediction (among others) for me.

Thanks, Ryu! I can't remember a week with this many unfamiliar names in the Top 20. Hopefully KJ will dominate MLK Weekend. :thumbsup:
