Here are the rules
1. How to play: Each weekend, predict the order of the top 5 movies, and how much each film will make. To make sure people don’t make the same predictions, post your dollar figures to the nearest ten thousand, for example "25.58M" (25 million 580 thousand).
2. Movie Order Points: For every film you place in the correct order, you get 5 points. If you get #1- 5 right, you would get 25 points.
3. Accuracy Points: The closest person to each of the five films also gets points, and they are as follows;
# 1 - 25 pts
# 2 - 20 pts
# 3 - 15 pts
# 4 - 10 pts
# 5 - 5 pts
This year you don't have to get the movies in order. If you are closest to the #2 movie and picked it third you still get the points.
4. Double Points Weekends. Points are doubled on the following weekends:
* Memorial Day May 28 - May 31 All points are doubled.
* 4th of June 30th to July 4th All points are doubled.
* Labor day weekend September 4th - September 7th
* Toy Story 3 weekend June 18h –Jun 20 28th All points are doubled.
* Double points for Iron Man 2 May 7-9
5. Vacation rule: New to the Contest this year, we will only count your top 12 scores. So, if you miss a week or two you won’t be out of it.
6. Deadline: All predictions must be in by Friday 10PM PST every weekend. On double points weekends, special deadline will apply. Please make sure your predictions are in before the deadline, however, we may look the other way if the estimates are not yet made public and/or it is obvious such results have not been seen.
8. Who can play? Everyone. It is fun! You may enter or exit the contest at any time or post predictions whenever you like, as long it is within the deadline.
8. The winner: The player with the most points at the end of contest, wins instant fame and glory (being worshiped by the all the BO forum posters) AND a Supporter account!
It all starts this Friday, good luck.
