Prediction Scores
What: The prediction contest allows spectators to predict the outcome of the games. Points are awarded for predicting correctly and deducted for wrong predictions.

Prizes: The spectator with the highest score will receive a prize of $50 USD. A prize of $30 USD will be awarded to second place and $20 USD for third place. In case of ties the prize will be divided evenly.
When: The contest will begin with the first World Championship Tournament game and continue until the tournament ends in early January.
Where: The contest participants will submit their predictions through the Internet using a web form.
Registration: Spectators should register before the deadline of November 4th 2006 so they can be notified of when to make the predictions. There is no fee to register, but only registered spectators will be able to make predictions.
Note: Players may also register to predict. However players will not be allowed to predict against themselves in their own games.
