Nintendo Direct League
Information – For every announced-ahead-of-time Nintendo direct, participants can predict as many guesses about specific games and hardware as they wish. For every guess you get right you get +10 points, for every guess you get wrong you receive -2 points, for guesses that are partially correct you will get +5 points, for guesses about what won't appear they will be +2 points (if I deem the guess is a troll one to collect points I will disregard). Participants wishing to play it safe have that option, but the only way to truly get ahead of the pack is to take risks that pay off. Because it is harder to get something right than wrong, you you can receive 5 times the amount of points for getting something right as you could lose by getting something wrong (+10 points vs. -2 points).
Specific – Meaning specific games, dlc, character, and hardware. Predictions don’t have to have a title, but if someone were to say “RPG set in the Tony Hawk universe” that will count. If you say, "new smash character" that won't count. If you say "Paper Mario" or something like "Another variation of Mario" or "a character from Banjo Tooie" as a smash character that will count. Don't be generic and be as specific as needed. You will NOT be penalized for giving the wrong date or title. Predictions that include details we already know will not count.
If you make 1 prediction per direct, then you can only go up 10 points or down 2 points. If you have 40 predictions per direct, you could go up 400 points or down 80 points in the standings, depending onw how you do. Leaderboards will be updated as soon as I’m able after each direct. If you made predictions in other threads, please help me by pasting them in this thread.
If you choose to make an "or" prediction, such as "smash 7 or Mario Odyssey 5", then if one of them happens you will receive 5 points. If both happen you receive 10 points. If you want to make the full 20 points possible from them, then you must break the "or".
