Forums - Nintendo Discussion - New Nintendo 2022 OpenCritic Prediction League (XL)

Since TheWalrusCaesar is a bit too busy (and hopefully he is doing well), I’ve decided to continue this thread. I’ve taken the same rules that he was using (with slight variation), and I will be using the same scores that were on that thread to calculate the scores. 

Because there are some people that have guessed more scores than others, I will be breaking it up into a few groups. The first is the person who has the most TOTAL points, and then the person who has the best AVERAGE points. This way, the people who came in late aren’t out of luck. 

So, let’s start with the rules!

1. Predict as many or as few games as you wish. The more you predict the more advantage you have in the total amount of points you earn, but, again, I will create an average league as well for those who came in late. 

2. OpenCritic scores will be utilized at their "stopping point". That is, when the score no longer seems to fluctuate. I will try to be on top of this as possible, but if a few months later the score has changed feel free to update me. 

3. You can change or post a prediction up until a week before the game releases.

NOTICE: Again, I will be using the same scores as the last thread. However, I will be using the current OpenCritic score, so some places may have changed. I’m sorry if this changed your place, but I personally felt it was the best way to do this. 

Games are listed in chronological order.
