Y’all overlooking the obvious KENTA vs. Cobb finals, given tonight's match.

hey does this form auto-fill out block winners based on point totals/wl records. or is that level of technology beyond us? im gonna look real stupid picking white as my block runner but giving shingo more wins or something

I was having trouble making my picks so I added a bit of automation so I could look at the schedule at the same time. Rarity if this is annoying in any way I'll remove it, but otherwise: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z1kYzscCtqJtYcS3AuAIx6Ag5qNdFeKvX8qS4QnYu8g/edit?usp=sharing

Use the drop downs in the upper right triangle of each block for picks, bottom left portion of the block auto-fills, point totals auto-update. You still gotta pick the winner because I'm not about to spend a day figuring out formulas for the tie-breakers, but it's easier to try out scenarios when the totals are updated for you.

I also added the schedule below the blocks, with the match winners automatically carried down from the blocks.

My predictions are still gonna be way off.

I spend too much time with spreadsheets in my day job.

Well, I picked Yano, at least.

This is exactly what happens when I pick an event I'm emotionally invested in.

I’m very pleased that I’ve gone 13-2 over the last three nights, but given how far off I was on the B Block winner this can’t last.

Another 4-1 night! Alllllmost respectable. Except I picked KENTA to win B block and he’s about to be eliminated so. Still some marginal hope to finish decently if Okada takes the whole thing.

That was extremely grim for me, 1-4 and I sure didn't pick Ibushi to win the block!

Embarrassingly I'm not sure what my predictions finished up on exactly. I kinda did it last minute after only really following the last few months of NJPW through WOR. I think I settled on Ibushi winning A-Block and Sanada wining B block and Ibushi winning in the final. My thought process was that they wanted Sanada to get a big push, but Ibushi is signed in now, he's not getting younger and he needs to win the big belt.

I really think that approach is an advantage. I took a shot at one of the recent AEW prediction contests and won out because I didn't have any emotional attachment to anything. I'm not heartless enough to predict Ishii going negative.
