The Gambles listed in this thread will serve as a substitute for the initially planned thread for the Pro Tour Championships. However, if they end up being one of your lowest scores for this contest, they will not be dropped - they will only hurt you if you wager poorly. :popcorn:

Green Mountain Championship

MPO - Pick 4 players, with your predicted winner listed first (2 points for correct winner)
1st & 2nd place - 5 points
3rd & 4th place - 4 points
5th & 6th place - 3 points
7th & 8th place - 2 points
9th & 10th place - 1 points

FPO - Pick 3 players, with your predicted winner listed first (2 point for correct winner)
1st & 2nd place - 3 points
3rd & 4th place - 2 points
5th & 6th place - 1 points

Bonus 1 (2 points) - Predict the sponsor with the most players finishing in the top 10 of MPO. The categories are: 1) Innova/Discmania; 2) Lat64/DD/Westside; 3) Prodigy; 4) Other (Discraft, Legacy, DGA, unsponsored, etc.).
Bonus 2 (3 or 4 points) - What will be the highest round rating shot by the men (2)? Who will shoot it (1 for SockBeast, 2 for the field)?
Bonus 3 (3 points) - What will be the highest round rating shot by the ladies (3)?
Bonus 4 (2 points) - How many strokes under par will the FPO winner be by the end of the tournament?

Pro Tour Championships Gambles - You may wager up to 40 points of your existing prediction points (if you have that many - refer to "recent" totals post on Main thread) on each of the Gambles below. If you get the gamble correct, you will double those wagered points. If you get it wrong, you will lose your wagered points. Since there are four gambles, if you currently have 160 points or more, you could earn another 160 points through these gambles.

Gamble 1* - Refer to the udisc link below to view the pro tour points standings. Pick an MPO player (ranked 10th or below) whom you think will play well enough in the GMC to jump into the top 8. OR, pick a player whom you think will drop out of the current top 8. Declare how many points you are wagering.
Gamble 2* - Refer to the udisc and dgpt links below. Pick 5 MPO players to appear in the Finals of the tournament bracket. You may not select Paul McBeth or Ricky Wysocki. You must be correct with 2 out of your 5 selections to be counted "correct". Declare how many points you are wagering.
Gamble 3* - Refer to the udisc and dgpt links below. Pick 4 FPO players to appear in the Finals of the tournament bracket. You may not select Catrina Allen or Paige Pierce. You must be correct with 2 of your 4 selections to be counted "correct".
Gamble 4* - Predict the MPO OR FPO 2016 Pro Tour Champion

*Note: If any of your selected player(s) do not compete in the tournament, your selection and wager are void (resulting in no point change) for the Gamble(s) in question.

Goodness gracious! So, is the championship going to be RE-sanctioned by the end of the day, meaning that Williams won't be allowed to play? Was he planning on playing anyway? :doh:

Play begins tomorrow (Thursday), for those of you who were waiting for me to say so.

I'm afraid this was posted after the first day's round was fully or mostly completed. Please let me know if you'd like to challenge this.
 
If my calculations are correct, I killed the "gambles" to the tune of 100 points

You are correct, sir (if you happen to identify as female, feel free to call me Marcie). dj went big :clap:, and now maybe the rest of us should all go home :\. Just kidding. Please don't. Only 2 events left.

I'll post totals on the main thread shortly.

Sidewinder took the day in this thread. Nobody else actually chose "Sockbeast," but many chose McBeth or Wysocki, as I intended, but I realize this was unclear. I hope the half point for his selection seems fair.

B1: While James Conrad appears to throw and hashtag Innova all over the place, I couldn't find him on their website. So, Innova or Other would have been awarded points this week.
B2&3: I've been awarding full points if your guess is within 5 of the right answer, and dropping off the points for each time your guess is 5 more away from correct.
B4: Somewhat similarly, if you nailed the under par, you got 2 points. Off by one got 1 point.
