Welcome to Elements Trials betting!
Betting has ended

Bet on your favorite Challengers for a chance to win a cash prize of 10k :electrum!

BETTING
1. Open Betting Form (https://linkremovedbecausebettinghasended)
2. Pick the challenger who you think will gather the most points during the first three phases. If you participate in the Trials as a Challenger, you must pick yourself!
3. Assign a Confidence number for each challenger you picked. The higher the number, the more confident you are that the challenger in question will become the top Challenger. IMPORTANT: You have to use each of the 12 numbers only once. If you use one number more than once, you will be disqualified.
4. In the final question, choose "Yes" if you think your top Challenger will become the new Master, or "No" if you think your Challenger will lose in the Final Battle.

SCORING
If you pick the correct Challenger, you will gain points equal to Confidence number you assigned to that Challenger.
If you pick the correct Challenger AND the correct outcome of the Final Battle, you will gain 3 extra points.
If you pick the wrong Challenger, you will score 0 points.

EXAMPLE
You choose: "Challenger", "6" and "Yes". Your pick is the top Challenger and wins the Final Battle, so you score 6+3=9 points. Had your pick lost the Final Battle, you would have scored only 6 points. Had you picked the wrong top Challenger, you would have scored 0.

WINNER
Winner is the player you scores the most points. In case of a draw, the highest number of total correct Challengers wins. If that is tied as well, the person who made the bet first (form timestamp), is the winner.

The winner of the bet will be given 10k Electrum as reward codes.



Good luck.

P.s. Idea for using the Confidence system came from kevkev who also contributed to the upcoming scoring spreadsheet. Scoring mechanics were decided in the chat, main contributors being UTAlan and ~Napalm (sorry if I left someone out)

Awesome betting system! One question, is it okay if we discuss/display our bets here?  ;D

I will have SG embed a google doc that shows everyone's bets, but I'm waiting until after the bets have been made.

That's great! One more thing, what happens if a person submit more than once? All bets disqualified, count the earliest/latest one or something else?

A suggestion : put the names of the Masters in the list so that we don't have to open up a separate list of masters for comparison!

Please try to submit only once, but I will use the latest submission by each player.
