Thanks for tallying it up K1ng and congrats SDM, nice picks!

[Cammo101]

I was a 29-28 split decision away from a perfect card and came in 3rd. LOL. Well done SDM and CPT.

[K1NG]

Thanks for tallying it up K1ng and congrats SDM, nice picks!

No problem. This made the event more exciting since we had to choose almost every fight, as opposed to betting money on a few matches. Let's keep these pick'em pools going.

[High 5]

Hamill and Rivera are jerks. I can live with being over .500, though.

[CPT]

Thanks for doing that. I don't get to watch the cards live, so I was coming on to do it now that I've watched the event.

Also nice to see I did pretty well

I think the best way to do it going forward will be to keep a running total, and then an average score, to allow people to join later on to still be able to compete with everyone. Makes more sense than arbitrarily resetting every few events. And of course, each event is a competition in and of itself.

Sound good?

I'd like having both the running total and average score, with more weight on the average score since it's independent of the number of events one has participated in. The best possible score is a 55 with our current 10-pick format. It's easier to keep track of and easier for newcomers to get right in, since the averages gives them something to compare their score to right away.

Eat my dust, plebs.

Eat my dust, plebs.

Indeed Slowlydrowningme. Well done

[Cammo101]

Maybe I missed this, but what exactly are we doing picks for? All PPVs? All UFC? Strikeforce? Bellator?

From the OP:

I suggest only UFC events (possibly only numbered events) to keep things more inclusive/less random.

[CPT]

Well it's definitely only UFC events, and now that I look at it, I think it should just be numbered UFC events (ie/not Versus, Fight Nights, TUF Finales, etc) unless we can figure out a way to make those worth less (which would then screw up the whole idea of using an average score).

[K1NG]

I'm fine with it only being numbered UFC events.

10- Anderson Silva (c) vs. Yushin Okami
9- Maurício Rua vs. Forrest Griffin
8- Paulo Thiago vs. David Mitchell

5- Erick Silva vs. Luis Ramos

[CPT]

Updated thread title, I'll post my own picks in the next day or two...having a tough time making a final call on some of these fights, never mind the order.

[SDM]

having a tough time making a final call on some of these fights, never mind the order.

Tell me about it. Lots of pick ems and local question mark guys. I think we're all gonna do terribly with this event.

[spykelee]

Yea this is a pretty tough event for sure. There's maybe 2 fights that are "gimmie's", and everything else is a toss up. All I know, is I'm going to wait till near the end, and let everyone else make there picks... and then copy SDM
