@Chugging Cody’s Cream I fucked up my call time. I didn't make any picks on fights that have already started/occured. Don't know if you can still take the picks or not, but either way, here they are.

I had an off week.
Competitors with the makings of a champion would never talk like tha. Less time flying drunk; more time giving your al.
Wow wow wow. I wasn’t drunk when I flew. I was slightly hungover on the first flight. After getting to sf and having the long plane delay, I had one beer and a sandwich. By this point, the slight hangover was gone. I was back in the game baby! It was the turbulence during the landing on the second flight that did me in.
True champions can admit their faults, and come back stronger the next week. Which I will do. Come on
@Dick Niaz, don’t be a Skip Bayless.
Ok, I’m sorry,
Thank gosh because I was about to call you the Stephen A. Smith of this forum.Ok, I’m sorry,
(I wouldn’t have meant it, but I would have been convincing).
Ok, I’m sorry,
Jesus Christ, you guys are the Laverne and Shirley of this forum.
Laverne and Shirley? How the fuck old are you?
39 but I watched a lot of Nick at Nite.
I was gonna say Cagney & Lacey but those broads are too tough for you guys.

***If you've never played before, you don't have to do anything to join except post your picks to this thread using the template. Please use the letter X.***
INSTRUCTIONS
Making your picks. Copy the provided template for the event. Pick a single winner and method for every fight in the event by placing an “x” in the bracket. Post your filled out template to this thread.
Changing your picks. You can edit your picks until the event starts. Any picks or edits made after the start of a fight will result in a score of zero. This will be based on the post timestamp, not the content of the edit. (e.g. don’t edit a typo or something and change your timestamp)
If you want to edit your picks but the edit window on the post has ended, you can put your picks in a new post, and only your latest picks will count.
It is good practice when doing something unusual to announce what you’re doing by including a sentence or two about it in your post, or to ask first if you’re unsure. This can also save us time when tallying the scores.
Fight card changes. When there are late notice fight card changes, instructions will be posted at the time on how to handle them.
All players must maintain the same bout order for their picks, regardless of the actual fight card bout order, so our spreadsheet calculator can score your picks correctly.
If one fighter is switched out for another, a pick for the fighter that is out will be transferred automatically to a pick for the replacement fighter, so you need only edit your pick if the change causes you to want to change your pick/method.
A very late card change such as Werdum/Willis, which affected two different fights, may result in zero points awarded for all players for those fights to maintain fairness.
SCORING
2 points are awarded for every correct winning fighter.
1 bonus point is awarded if you also correctly predict the method of the win.
For our purposes, KO and TKO are treated as one.
If you miss a fight, or accidentally put x's for both fighters, you will get zero points for that fight. If you put two x's for the same fighter with different methods, you will not be eligible for the method bonus point.
Special Circumstances:
A draw results in five points.
A submission to strikes results in a bonus point for everyone who picked either KO or submission.
All points are awarded based on the outcome the night of the fight. Rulings that are later overturned on appeal do not affect the scores for this game.
WINNING
Standings and stats will be posted for each event, so you are welcome to play only part of a season if you like, and can jump in and out any time.
The championship is decided based on cumulative score for the whole season. Any other statistics provided are just informational, unless a tie-breaker is needed, in which case we will look to the percentage of correct fight winners chosen throughout the season. If you win, @
@
@@Splinty will change your name to gold so everyone will know you're the current champ when you post in the forums, until the next champ takes your belt!

Bullshit. I got my whole card disqualified for late picks, one fight into the card last season. Affirmative action gone wrong allowing the jet boat owners to put in late picks.You're all good according to the rules.

It was the season before and I did it twice. You didn’t make a fuss so I let it be.

I demand a recount on the season in question. Maybe a third party audit of all scores.

One event to go and only the top two people have a legitimate chance of winning.
Good luck
@Freeloading Rusty. Whoever wins, the championship will be in good hands.
Good, progressive, fully vaccinated hands.

We should hire a partisan company from Florida to do the recount. Preferably one with zero experience doing election recounts.
