Welcome to the Official Kentucky @ South Carolina SEC Regular Season Prediction Contest!

Follow the rules below and make your prediction. I'll publish the results after the game. You can put any comment you would like below your score prediction (put '***' after your prediction to make it easier to separate the comments) but try not to put anything above as my scripts may not be able to find your prediction. This is the 2nd of three prediction contests this season: the OOC Contest, the SEC Regular Season contest, and the Postseason Contest.

Whoever predicts the score closest to the actual score wins. I take the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the Kentucky score and the actual plus the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the opponent score and the actual. There is a penalty for picking the wrong winner. That penalty is the worst score among those who predicted the correct winner. In case of a tie, the tiebreaker is used. In case of a tie in the tiebreaker, we have more than one winner.

I will be awarding points for the first 10 places, including a 3 point bonus for a perfect prediction. I will track cumulative point totals and the number of games you make the top 10. This contest ends with the end of the SEC Regular Season.

Your post should look something really close to the example below. Remember the ":"s and the word "Tiebreaker:"! Do not!! use a "-" as a separator because some of our tiebreakers will be negative.

This game's tiebreaker is Kentucky Rebound Margin.

Kentucky @ South Carolina game:

--------------------------
Kentucky: 75
South Carolina: 66

Tiebreaker: 5
--------------------------

Just cut and paste everything between the lines above into your reply and then modify the scores and tiebreaker as you see fit. If you don't know how to do that, type very carefully. Remember to type in the word "Tiebreaker:" so that I can find it. Anything my scripts can't figure out will not count.

Don't edit your post or try to post a score after the game has started.

BTW I really would prefer exact names for the teams, but will try to be accommodating as long as it doesn't create too much work for me. If we are playing Louisville, just about anything not obscene will be OK.

I saw South Carolina put up 97 today..I know it was against Miss. State but still. UK is coming to town and they're going to be ready. I'm 50/50 on the game. Don't really care either way but South Carolina will be ready and will play very free and relaxed..no pressure on them whatsoever.

Congrats to @Cheap Buried who throttled me with the tie breaker. Congrats also to @RoyKent who pushed his lead in the overall contest. How about that, @MarkPftw? My code had you predicting Kentucky 50 South Carolina 97 with a Kentucky rebound margin of 50.
