Bracket Challenge Circuit

Those tennis fans should be familiar with this winner prediction game. Let's see if we can incorporate it into badminton.

How to Play

Registration
No registration is required. All BC members are entitled to participate.

Making Picks
Once the main draw for the Events is available, Contestants are able to start making their picks. A prediction of the winner must be made for every playable match of the Event by advancing the player a Contestant thinks will win each match to the next round of the Event—until they have predicted all matches and the champion. Contestants may change their predictions any time between the time the draw is posted until one hour prior to the Event’s first main draw match is scheduled (the "Deadline"), using the local time of the event location.
In addition, for tie-breaking purposes only, Contestants must predict the total number of deuce games scored in the Event.
If, for any reason, a player withdraws from the Event and is replaced in the draw by another player, the replacement player will be substituted for the withdrawn player for the purposes of the Contest. If, for any reason, a player withdraws or retires from the Event and is not replaced in the draw by another player, for the purposes of this Contest that player will be considered to have lost any match he was scheduled to play in the Event. In the event the tournament organizers of the Event make any material change to the draw after the Deadline, the Contest will be null and void.

Schedule
The Contest will be open for game play once the main draw has been announced. From then until the Deadline, you will be able to fill out your picks and make changes to such picks. You will be unable to make changes after the Deadline, but you will be able to follow your picks.

Scoring

For each correct prediction in their picks, Contestants will be awarded points. The number of points awarded will be as follows:

0 (zero) points for each incorrect pick or segment left blank
2 (two) points for each correct prediction in the round of 32
4 (four) points for each correct prediction in the round 16
8 (eight) points for each correct prediction in the quarterfinal round
16 (sixteen) points for each correct prediction in the semi-final round
32 (thirty-two) points for each correct prediction in the final round.

A "correct prediction" occurs when a Contestant correctly predicts the player that advances into the ensuing round of the Event. To acquire points, the Contestant does not have to accurately predict the player that the winner defeats in the relevant match (except for any Grand Prize Winner, who must do so), as long as they have accurately predicted the winner that advances to the next round. Contestants will automatically receive one point in the case where players are given a direct advancement for the next round (the "Bye"). Contestants picking a winner who advances through an unfinished match such as a retirement, or an uncontested match such as a walk-over, will receive the corresponding point(s) for that particular round.

For any Contest segment in which a Contestant fails to submit an entry, he/she will receive zero points and will automatically be ineligible to become the Grand Prize Winner.

Tie Breaker Procedure
In the case of a tie for each individual Event, the Contestant who has more closely predicted the total deuce games played in the final match of the specific event will be declared the winner. If a tie still exists, the Contestant who submitted their picks earlier than the other will be declared the higher finisher.
In the case of a tie for the Contest Grand Prize winner and secondary winners, the order shall be determined randomly.
