How About the shortest match separated by 5 seconds both women’s matches went 13:32 for the title match 13:27 for the street fight according to John’s report
To answer this question, as I am doing the scoring, I am going to count Charlotte Flair as appearing. The wording was not very clear, but one can assume if she was shown invading, she was also watching. Same with Gonzales which halfway through scoring nobody picked.
Well, the results are in and this was exciting!!
There was a TIE for 1st place with Points Earned: @POSTmaster@drvannostren@Rated_R_Poster@statikpunk and @CorSec99 all earned 14 points;
**However, our Event Winner with a perfect pick sheet going 6/6 is @CorSec99 who was the only individual in the top 5 to get every match correct!!!
Also a congrats to @Alex_Patel who also had a perfect pick sheet going 6/6, finishing with 11 total points! And a welcome to new participants @drvannostren and @statikpunk who both finished in the tie with 14 Tot Points - (beginners luck?..perhaps we will find out in the next chapter: SuperShowdown Feb 2020)
Some interesting stats based on our 18 participants making predictions:
All of us picked Rhea Ripley and Keith Lee to retain their titles, respectively; as such, we all had Under 2.5 titles to change hands.
72% of us (13/18) picked Cole to retain the title - this was the only match besides Ripley and Lee (100%) with a higher than 70% pick rate
11/18 picked Balor correctly, 10/18 picked BroserWeights and Kai correctly
78% of us expected the Street Fight to be the shortest match (which as noted above, John Pollock clocked this in at 5 seconds shorter than the Women’s Title Match)
Just over 55% of us expected the Tag match to open the show; it went on 2nd to last which may have surprised some given Traditional TakeOver match placements
A Note on the Super Bonus
As noted above, I did count Charlotte Flair for the Bonus Questions (and welcome criticism for not being more clear as I tried a new bonus question out) - 14 of us said Flair would appear
Perhaps more interesting to me was the strategy of those who did not pick Flair; the 3 people who opted not to include Flair went with the strategy of 2 Debuts which would have been more points - an interesting way to play the Super Bonus as we move into the Season and people look to make up ground.
Most common picks besides Flair was Killer Kross (13), Thatcher (4), and Simone Johnson (3)

Tot Points reflects additional points for guessing championship matches, and bonus questions
Tot Correct is based on only matches and no additional bonus questions (for example: there were 6 matches to be picked but a total of 30 points available for Royal Rumble);
I am open to suggestions as to how to use these different metrics to better make the contest competitive as we get further into the “season” and not every entrant has the same totals avail; Total % correct is based on correct picks in contests you have entered)
