forkboy, I've just spotted an issue with your math. You've picked Ibushi as the A block winner but based on your picks Okada would be ahead of him on 13 points :( Please can you select one of Okada or Naito for your G1 winner or else those points will be forfeited.

I expect to be destroyed in the final points tallying phase. For now, however, I will enjoy being number two at a thing, even if for a moment!

Also I just had an idea that after the tournament is over, I'm going to have to check which individual wrestlers I predicted the most and least right. The least right will likely be Ospreay and Shingo because I thought they'd do a whole lot better than they ended up doing :downs:

okada and ibushi draw, okada wins the block, beats naito, challenges ibushi at wk to get his win against the man he couldn't beat in the g1

sanada fans everywhere go nuts

hey mister... can u play drums while I sing and play plastic guitar???
I'm a huge dork and love spreadsheets so I wanted to check how I was doing for points going into the last matches...

Ibushi vs Okada - I get 5 points with Kota, 7 with Okada, 0 with a draw, and 10 with a double dq/countout
Ospreay vs Tanahashi - 7 for Ospreay winning, 5 for double DQ/CO
KENTA vs ZSJ - 7 for ZSJ
SANADA vs Fale - 7 for SANADA
EVIL vs Archer - 7 for EVIL, 5 for Archer

My dumb rear end picked Ospreay to win the block, so no big points possible left for me there :(

Naito vs White - 5 for Naito, 2 for White
Moxley vs Juice - 7 for Moxley, 5 for Juice
Goto vs Takagi - 2 for Takagi
Taichi vs Ishii - 5 for Taichi, 2 for Ishii
Toru Yano vs Cobb - 7 for Cobb

And I have Naito to win the block and final!

After a hot night of action A block is all settled! Your final round of results were:

EVIL (67%) vs. Lance Archer (34%)
SANADA (63%) vs. Bad Luck Fale (37%)
KENTA (49%) vs. Zack Sabre Jr. (51%)
Will Ospreay (44%) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi (54%)
Kazuchika Okada (21%) vs. Kota Ibushi (67%) - Draw (12%)

Which gives us our final points tallies for A block:

Hiroshi Tanahashi: 8 points (average prediction: 9.44)
Kota Ibushi: 14 points (13.37)
Kazuchika Okada: 14 points (12.27)
Will Ospreay: 8 points (9.49)
EVIL: 8 points (7.30)

Bad Luck Fale: 8 points (4.35)
Zack Sabre Jr.: 8 points (9.23)
Lance Archer: 6 points (4.93)
KENTA: 8 points (9.79)

So the winner of A block advancing to the G1 final is:

1. Kota Ibushi (74%)
2. SANADA (12%)
3. Will Ospreay (9%)
4. Kazuchika Okada (5%)

The beautiful part of this is that I thought really hard and I was really proud of all my picks because they all made so much sense to me :sweatdrop:

Edit: First 1/3rd to half of the tournament I was roughly averaging 60% right a night but once I hit a tipping point these was a cascade failure as all my latter results were based so heavily on earlier ones and it just all completely fell apart :allears:
