You don't need huge upsets the seperate ISML and Bestmoe from Saimoe. Only moderate ones, and they happen a whole lot. I can predict 95% of all ISMl matches on average(well, during the regular season as relegation matches happening now were the only tricky predictions in the regular season), and was close to around 89% with Bestmoe. Saimoe, I'm lucky if I can reach 70%. The only thing tricky with Bestmoe is the fangirl factor, and it's what I hate most about it, anyways. And atleast Saimoe keep is moderatly close, usually not above 66% unless It's some one very weak vs. a top tier...70%+ rapes is commonplace in ISML.
Not that I'm dissing the other two contests, but point is, I like Saimoe's restrictions. It's complex, and takes time and effort to actually vote, compared to other contests where It's just vote and forget about it the next 24hrs. Or random people surfing the web come across ISML...and vote within the span of thirty seconds, only to never return again. And I think this is the main reason why Saimoe preferance is so much different than everyone else.
