• overall finish (25 points for first, all the way down to 1 point for 10th)
• fastest lap (1 points if a selected driver sets the fast lap for the race) as per the FIA rule adopted 2019
• places gained from grid to finish position (25 points for the most, all the way down to 1 point for 10th)

Like all Prediction Challenge! games, cost is $10, fully redistributed to players as prizes, with predictions submitted before each of the Grands Prix. Throughout the Season, updates are posted on the Prediction Challenges! web site, and timely e-mails will make sure you don’t miss a lap.

Hello, tennis fans!

As the Australian Open enters its second week, our Prediction Challenge game begins… can you predict which of the last eight women and men will ultimately triumph on Down Under?

Introduction

This game challenges you to pick the winners of matches in both the men’s and women’s singles tournaments, round-by-round, and the number of sets it will take them to win. The more accurate your predictions, the higher your score!

Each round of the game is equally important to win this contest, adding to the drama…there are 100 points up for grabs in each of the four rounds.

Picks are submitted prior to each round. As tennis tournaments run on a tight schedule, please be mindful that you will need to provide your predictions before the matches begin. Entry forms are found on this web site.

Interested? Cost is $10, all money goes into the prize pool.

• Entry Form

Entry deadlines are shortly before the beginning of each tournament round. While playing, please pay attention to the Australian Open schedule!

You’ll find results of last year’s Australian Open Tennis Prediction Challenge here. Please let me know if you have any questions!

The NFL’s regular season is over which means one thing: 12 teams will be vying for NFL championship glory in Super Bowl LV.

The Prediction Challenge! is easy to play: just pick the game winners and the margins of victory each weekend (no more than six games to predict in any given weekend) during the playoffs. Each of the four rounds counts equally towards a player’s final score!

The Entry Form requires players to begin by selecting the teams that will win each game, and the margin of victory.

Like other Prediction Challenges, points will be awarded based on whether the winning team has been correctly predicted, and the predicted margin of victory will also be scored as well. (For the latter case, if one team is predicted to win by 3 points, the other team wins by six, that prediction is incorrect by nine points.)

Bonus points will be awarded based on how many winning teams are correct, as well as how many scores are predicted correctly to within three points.

There is no limit to the number of players who may enter.

It’s $10 to play, as usual!

Hope you’ll join us! Kickoff is Saturday morning, Victoria time!
