Well, it's been one helluva year. A year of way to fucking many WWE PPV's. A year of some horrible PPV's. A year of some decent ones. A full year of Tipsters.
I'd like to thank Dave and Tornado for dropping the ball earlier this year so I could pick it up. And I'd like to thank Blitz, Destor, and WWKD? for graciously taking the ball for the next year. Because frankly, this is a bitch to tally. :lol:
First things first... WE WILL NOT BE HAVING A REPEAT CHAMPION. Yup, Tornado pulled a Pittsburgh Steelers and ended up finishing "meh."
WE WILL NOT HAVE A CONSPIRACY THEORY EITHER. Yup, I didn't win either, so you can't accuse me of rigging anything.
Now, before we get on with the results, we have a couple of honors to hand out.
First of all, the SPLAYA D. BALLDROPPER AWARD for Excellence in Not Following Through With Commitment. This award honors the people who signed up for TIPSTERS 2006 and did not make one single prediction. Zeroes across the board! That's incredible! I propose a collective neg rep for these people, but of course, it's all up to you.
2006 Recipients of the SPLAYA D. BALLDROPPER AWARD:
- AssMan
- Boondock Saint
- RoadWarriors LOD
- Scarface
- Sephiroph
And of course, none other than...
- Splaya
:lol: :lol:
Our other honorary award is the KANE KNIGHT LONGEVITY AWARD (sorry, couldn't think of a better name), which goes to posters who made every single Tipsters PPV. These are posters who did not miss a single Tipsters Predictions Session, and they deserve special commendation for their devotion (or perhaps lack of a life ;)).
2006 Recipients of the KANE KNIGHT LONGEVITY AWARD:
- Blitz
- Corkscrewed
- Disturbed316
- legend
- Savior
- Spilchuk
- Thriller
A round of applause (and reps? *hint hint*) to these marathon men.
This year featured 16 PPVs and 2320 points.
And now, the moment you've been waiting for. The winner of TIPSTERS 2006. To find out who that is, we do a countdown of all people who scored more than zero points in this year's contest:

This year featured 16 PPVs and 2320 points. This means to win, you basically had to get a little over half of all possible points. Just a little food for thought in case you got discouraged over a few bad scores and quit this year, or if you missed a couple of PPV's and thought you were screwed.
Now, before we wrap this up, I want to also shoot out our unofficial winners. If you recall at the beginning of the year, I mentioned that I would also be keeping track of adjusted points, in case people couldn't make every single TIPSTERS (which, as it turned out, was like almost everyone). So I added a "Total minus the lowest score" stat as well as a "Total minus highest and lowest scores" stat (Olympics style).
TOP 5 SCORES WHERE LOWEST SCORE WAS THROWN OUT:
1. Thriller = 1175
2. Blitz = 1170
3. redoneja = 1120
4. CYCLOPTERSAURUS = 1110
5. Disturbed316 = 1105
TOP 5 OLYMPIC-STYLE SCORES:
1. Thriller = 1060
2. Blitz = 1025
3. redoneja = 990
4. CYCLOPTERSAURUS = 955
5. Disturbed316 = 950
So what was the difference between Thriller and Blitz? By looking at the above stats, it basically boiled down to one PPV.
Also, CYCLOPTERSAURUS missed the final PPV, Armageddon. He could have actually won TIPSTERS if he'd had a monster game. But alas (poor Yoric), he didn't. Oh well, woulda coulda.
That does it for this year's TIPSTERS. And one last thing...
