Scoring

When you submit your entry form, you will be asked to make 4 guesses as to the breed of our enigmatic friend. In addition to this you will be asked to guess his "Wolfiness percentage". This tends to be a number between 0 and 4%. You may make guesses in any 0.1 increment.

An example DNA report from the test provider, Embark, can be found here.

All four of your submissions will receive equal weight. You will score the sum percentage total of any breeds present in Totoro's "Genetic Breed Result".

Tiebreak 1

If one or more submissions are tied on the "Genetic Breed Result", tied entries will score 1 point for each guessed breed present in the "Trace Breed" or "Supermutt Trace" analysis.

Tiebreak 2

If one or more submissions are tied following points awarded for breeds present in trace analysis, the "Wolfiness percentage" will be used as a tie break, with the closest value taking the crown.

Tiebreak 3

If one or more previously tied submissions are equally close to Totoro's true wolfiness, Totoro will be removed from the room and a treat assigned to each tied competitor placed equidistant from the door. The first treat which Totoro eats on his reentry will be the winner.

Prize

The winner will be awarded the full pot of entry paid for submission by all competitors.
