The 32 Predictions Contest Results

by Sky Kalkman

Let's not beat around the bush: I beat Sam (by a point) and Scott371970 won the whole thing (by two hours). Full results can be found here.

The average entry scored 16.2 points, which I believe is the worst average ever. It's a result of the underdogs winning 15 of the 32 pairs, including the biggest underdog: in-season GM changes x 2, taking down in-season managerial changes. There weren't even any ties, which is disappointing.

I certainly plan on running this contest again next year, and would appreciate any and all question ideas in the comments of this post.
