DD Gambling!
Ok folks, we're doing this for real now:
GAMBLING!
Here's how it works:
Each competitor gets 100 Yog (the official currency of DD gambling) to work with when they sign up. They can sign up at any point in the tournament. With these Yog, you are all allowed to make bets on the winners of matches. If your bet is incorrect, you lose the amount you have wagered. If you win, then your winnings are determined by the Power Number Ratio.
For example, say the power numbers are Gyaos with 33 and and King Ghidorah 66 (for simplicity). If you wager 10 Yog on Gyaos, and Gyaos wins, you win 20 Yog (because KG has twice Gyaos' power numbers). If you wager 10 Yog on KG and KG wins, you win 5 Yog.
Last minute betting within the KFC is also allowed.
However, we have a nice additional bit here:
You may make bets between members of the forum. You are allowed to completely set up the rules for the bet, as long as they pertain completely to the KFC matches. It could be a simple "bet of 20 Yog that Godzilla wins in Math 03" or something more complicated, perhaps one better gets more if he wins because he bet Baragon beats Godzilla (GMK), or perhaps you bet that there will be at least 3 primal numbers rolled in this match.
In order for a bet to be official:
They must be PMed to The Oracle or declared to Battle Master during the KFC.
They must be placed some time before the match it pertains to begins.
What happens if I run out of Yog?
If you run out of Yog, another member of the forum is allowed to lend you some amount of Yog, due to be payed back (plus 15% interest) at some agreed upon time later (if none is given the end of the tournament is used). However, if for some reason you make a bet that puts you into negative territory, you are bankrupt and no longer allowed to compete in this in any way (only for this tournament of course).
What are the prizes?
I suppose the prize will be the same as last year, a reasonably gettable kaiju DVD of your choice.
Husnock won the Test Play competition and gets a 20 Yog bonus from the start.

Re: DD Gambling!
Burk.
I just wanna say.
I heart you, and your yog-eating, ultra-loving self.
But
IF YOU EVER EAT MY YOG AGAIN I WILL EAT ALL THE KITTENS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!
Think of the kittens, Burk. Think or the kittens.
Or don't, because they taste like chicken.
