Now that we have the first event of the Junior ISU Game underway, it is probably time to kick off the Senior version.
The Rules are still largely the same as for the GP Predictions Game. So, like last year, I will use tulosai’s explanation as the basis.
Rules (slightly re-worded for clarity, but in effect the same as last year):
Scoring
Each correct guess is worth 15 points. If you guess Mao will be first and she is first, that is 15 points. If you guess Mirai is 5[SUP]th[/SUP] and she is 5[SUP]th[/SUP], that is 15 points.
Each guess that is one placement off is worth 10 points. If you guess Ashley is 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] and she is 1[SUP]st[/SUP], you get 10 points. If you guess Gracie is 5[SUP]th[/SUP] and she is 6[SUP]th[/SUP], you get 10 points.
Each guess that is two placements off is worth 5 points. If you guess Akiko is 4[SUP]th[/SUP] and she in 2[SUP]nd[/SUP], you get 5 points. If you guess Tukt is 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] and she is 5[SUP]th[/SUP] you get 5 points.
These are the competitions that are rounds of the Predictions Game:
ISU Junior Championships Game
Round 1: European Championships (20[SUP]th[/SUP] – 26[SUP]th[/SUP] January 2020)
Round 2: Four Continents (3[SUP]rd[/SUP] – 9[SUP]th[/SUP] February 2019)
Round 3: Senior World Championships (16[SUP]th[/SUP] – 22[SUP]nd[/SUP]March 2019)
This thread will be available for general discussion about the game, and for analysing how the game is progressing. But, please keep the predictions and subsequent discussion about each event in the specific thread for that event:
European Championships: Predictions Game Round 1
Four Continents: Predictions Game Round 2
Senior World Championships: Predictions Game Round 3
The scores for all the rounds will be recorded in the spreadsheet, which can be found at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1711A6NFppRbbMMeGT78Kj5DQJlF1qseOsKs5VcB-7yQ/edit?usp=sharing
Plus, if you want a handy way to keep track who is on the podium in each round, we have the HALL OF FAME thread, which can be found at:

Thank you so much to the scorers of this year’s Senior GP Game for making it such a success. This new game would not have been possible without you!
Good luck everybody!

The Rules are still largely the same as for the GP Predictions Game. So, like last year, I will use tulosai’s explanation as the basis.
Rules (slightly re-worded for clarity, but in effect the same as last year):
- Guess the Top 5 finishers in each discipline at each Grand Prix. Each event will have it's own dedicated thread in which to make predictions. For handiness, I will provide a list of the entries in the first post in each of these threads.
- Although only the Top 5 will be scored, you are advised to include at least 6 skaters in your predictions lists for each discipline. The remaining skaters will be alternates in case any of the skaters you pick for your Top 5 withdraws or can't compete at the last minute.
- The deadline to get your predictions in is one hour before the first Short Programme of the event starts. If the pairs are first and they start at 7pm EST, you should aim to get your predictions in by 6pm EST.
- For your prediction to qualify for scoring, you must provide the full last name(s) in your predictions. The thread of each round will include the entries for each discipline, so all you need to do is copy and paste. Abbreviations, nicknames, first names will not be accepted.
Scoring
Each correct guess is worth 15 points. If you guess Mao will be first and she is first, that is 15 points. If you guess Mirai is 5[SUP]th[/SUP] and she is 5[SUP]th[/SUP], that is 15 points.
