This is a friendly prediction game with a seasonal league format, started by Zeph @Zeph and named in honour of the late Kevin 'Monster' Randleman.

***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 for the upcoming event (also posted in this thread).***

Each season will last a minimum of 5 events, sometimes with doubleheaders or extra bonus events.

EVENTS THIS SEASON

1. UFC Fight Night Stephens vs. Choi (1/14)
2. UFC 220 Miocic vs. Ngannou (1/20)
3. Bellator 192 - Lima vs. MacDonald (1/20) - main card only
4. UFC Fight Night Jacare vs. Brunson 2 (1/27)
5. UFC Fight Night Machida vs. Anders (2/3)
6. UFC 221 Whittaker vs. Rockhold (2/10)

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 zero 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. If you win, Splinty @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!

Sounds good. I'm in.

So this explains the REAL reason for CMNH's gold name! I saw a couple of references to it in other threads, but they were clearly jokes.

What do participants normally do to make their picks, change the boxes in the template to a certain color or place an X in the box?

Thanks for the heads-up Gay For Longo @Gay for Longo. I'm ready to WIN!!!

Place an X in the box for the fighter and manner of win you choose.
For example:
@Rhino ko[] sub[X] dec[]
vs.
@conor mcgregor nut hugger ko[] sub[] dec[]

Exactly like this this man
Only big thing to remember is not to change the template at all except adding the X for your pick

It's all setup in Google docs to do the scoring and the template is designed to go hand in hand with the format and formulas already in the Google doc file

Welcome to the game man
Oh and have fun and talk shit, Espcially to @conor mcgregor nut hugger :)

This is a science. A long exercise of attention to detail and patience. I will need to see the weigh ins before I can make my picks and I won't submit them until 5 minutes prior to the first contest, so they cannot be copied.

This is why this place is great. The mods actually care, they don't want their members humiliated and going down in flames with them.
