Most Embarrassing Results

The Most Embarrassing Results in GameFAQs Contest history, based on how badly Board 8 and the Contest Gurus were out-predicted by "the casuals" (aka the number of brackets site-wide who predicted the match correctly).

Special Note: Neither the Board Odds Project nor the Guru Contest were in place until the Spring of 2004, so no Summer 2002 or Summer 2003 matches are eligible for this list. Additionally, this list is limited to 1v1 matches only, so nothing from Summer 2007 or the 2005 Battle Royale will be found here.

Entrants who B8/the Gurus gave the least chance of advancing out of this round as compared to the casual bracket makers. So for instance if 0% of B8 expected Knuckles to beat Magus, but 35.08% of casuals thought it would happen, that would come out as a 35.08 - 0 = 35.08% for this list.
