In the previous thread, someone asked how the points worked. You earn points for how accurate your predictions are. For example, in the last race, Glory came in first place and Tiffany came in second place. My prediction had Tiff in first and Glory in second. So, I did guess the correct two ponies. But I predicted in the wrong order. So I get one point each.

Mirnyj predicted Glory would win (that's correct! She gets two points for that one.) She predicted Gingerbread would come in second. Since Ginger didn't get either first or second place, that is worth 0 points.

Lancer accurately predicted the winner and second place pony, and so earned two points for each accurate guess, for a total of four points for that race.

This is all for the first rounds. When we get into the second rounds, the points double. Accurate place prediction earns 4 points each, inaccurate earns 2 point each. Still 0 if your prediction came in 3rd or 4th place.

Third rounds is 8 points and 4 points. Next rounds is 16 points and 8 points, and so on.

This was a tough choice, I've never seen Junko Mizuno before and she is lovely and unique to be sure. But Macau Jenny has stolen a piece of my heart so my vote has to go to her.

Go Jenny, go!

[CoonhoundBetty]

Nightmare Moon!

[Griffin]

I like the G3 Art pony a lot but there was no question about this one. Go Jenny!  

[Tap Dancer]

I chose Black & Blue Art G3. I have a lot of the SDCC, Fair, and Art ponies (all MIP/MIB).

But wait, how do we vote on who we think will come in second? I've just been voting for the pony I want to win each round, should I be typing below who I think will come in first then second?

My vote goes to Jenny! 
Sorry Junko Mizuno pony, I really really like you but this time I had to choose Jenny.  Go Jenny, Go!

My understanding is you don't vote on second place--you guess on your scoresheet who will be second. Second place is decided by voters.

Seeing how the points are counted makes makes me feel a bit better about my predictions, which I thought had lately gone completely wrong, but most of them have given me at least some points.

For this round, go Macau Jenny go!
