Battle Challenge



The Battle Challenge is also known as the Streak Contest and challenges contestants to risk everything by guessing the results of every matchup correctly, or else play it safe by banking all the points they had earned up to that point.

SBAllen invented the challenge and ran it as an official site-wide contest for the Rivals 2011 season. Since then it's been run as a Board 8 competition by Ngamer and Steiner.

Scoring
Point totals climb for each consecutive match you pick correctly. However they don't add to your official point total until you either play it safe with a BANK, or at the conclusion of the Grand Final. Any incorrect choice on a match where you didn't "bank" resets your Potential Point counter to zero. As your streak continues, Potential Points go up- each correct pick gets you 100 points, and each successive correct pick increases a bonus multiplier by one:


 * 100
 * 300
 * 600
 * 1000
 * 1500
 * 2100
 * 2800
 * 3600
 * ...and so forth
