While we may have to wait a bit longer this year for New Japan’s G1 (spoiler: I am not running that contest :sweat_smile:) - Welcome to the New Japan Cup 2020 Prediction Contest.
(If an official POST Wrestling bracket contest is posted I will likely suspend this Prediction Contest)

Rules:

  • Using the image above, matches will have corresponding numbers:
    For Example: starting with 3.4 (1-4) through 3.9 (13-16); 3.10 (17/18) through 3.14 (23/24); 3.16 (25) 3.17 (26) 3.18 (27/28), Semi Finals on 3.20 (29/30) and Finals on 3.21 (Match 31)
  • First Round Correct Picks = 1pt
  • Second Round Correct Picks = 3pts
  • Quarter Final Correct Picks = 4pts
  • Semi Final Correct Picks = 5pts
  • Pick the Winner = 7pts

ONLY the first round picks will count for Match Picks. Everything else is for points.

Simply Copy the below and insert your picks!!

Submission Deadline for all picks is March 3rd - the day before the tournament. Let’s maintain some integrity and not edit picks after each round. I considered the option of going Round by Round but given time zones and the daily nature of the New Japan Cup it would be limiting to have picks submitted before each round. Let the Madness begin!

Well guess this contest will be put on hold for now due to the C-Virus. That being said, I wonder at this point if they’ll scrap the entire tournament this year.
