It’s back.
This year, we’ll be starting the fantasy game from the prelims! And to kick things off, it’ll be a simple one.
From each preliminary group, predict 3 characters that will finish Top 3 of their respective group. Order them according to the likely positions they’ll occupy (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
SCORING SYSTEM:
5 points per character if they do finish in the Top 3.
5 bonus points if overall order is right.
Thus, a max of 20 points to be gained per group, but…
=RIICHI BONUS=
In the spirit of mahjong (since Saki’s going to be the main talking point of this tourney), you’ll have a chance to gain extra points.
You can declare ‘riichi’ for a particular group entry. Once you do so, you’ll get a extra 10 points if you get the Top 3 and its order right (thus bringing the max pts to 30). However, if you get any of the Top 3 and its order wrong, you’ll be deducted 5 points.
Here’s an example of how it works.
Here’s the list of the prelim groupings. (thanks, chaosprophet!)

You should probably remind people that they need to write the full name. There’s too many characters with the same first name at this stage.
