This is a prediction game with a seasonal league format, named in honour of the late Kevin 'Monster' Randleman. Here are the rules.

Each season will last 6 events and then the winner will be the person with the most points at the end of the season.


Pick 4 winners for an event and the method of how they win, including round for a TKO/SUB, and the type of finish or sub type, as written down in the results on Sherdog Fight Finder, or the judges scorecards for a decision. IE. Lawler, TKO, 1st round, punches, or Lawler, 50-45, 50-45, 50-45.

Occasionally, Sherdog Fight Finder will list two weapons used for a TKO. I.E. Punches and Kick. In those situations either Punches or Kick will result in a point.

Punch/es, kick/s, knee/s and elbow/s will be considered the same prediction.

KO and TKO will be considered the same prediction, due to the inconsistency in how different fights are recorded at Sherdog.

Picking the correct fighter to win gets 5 points per correct winner. IE. Lawler wins = 5 points

An additional 3 points are available. If you decide the fight will end in a finish, one point will be available for each category you pick correctly out of, method of vitctory, round of ending, and finishing weapon. IE. Prediction is Lawler by TKO, 1st round, punches, and the real result is Lawler by TKO, 2nd round, punches, would win an additional 2 points.

If you picked a decision then you get 1 point for every correct judges scorecard. IE. prediction is Lawler, 50-45, 50-45, 50-45, and the real scorecards are 50-45, 50-45, and 49-46, would win an additional 2 points.

If you change your picks before the event please edit your post to update your picks. If you are unable to edit your posts, because the period for editing has expired, or you have a restricted access account(you numpty), then make any changes in a new post where you quote the original picks - please only do this if you are unable to edit, as it adds extra work when tallying up the scores.

Do not edit your posts once the event has started. Picks are finalized once the event starts and no changes may be made. If you do edit your post after the fights have started you will receive 0 points for that event.

If two brothers are on the same card, or two people with the same last name, please specify which one you are picking, or you will get 0 points for that pick.

First Event is UFC Fight Night: Rodríguez vs. Caceres. Good Luck.

New Format Information

In addition to the normal game, we are going to have a team game running concurrently. Each team score will be calculated using the average score from all the players on that team.

This season will TEAM USA vs TEAM ROW(Rest of the World). Please indicate what team you are on when you enter your first picks.


KO and TKO are now the same prediction again.
Punches and Punch are also the same prediction again.

Leagues offer something to play for if you are having a bad season, while also adding banter between relegation battlers and promotion chasers. We'll see how it goes, if the majority are against it, we don't have to keep it.

Are people really against the idea of leagues? Speak up if you are.

I'll be honest I only skimmed the OP but I'm still not sure how it works
Players split into groups of 10. Worse two from league 1 drop down into league 2, best two from league 2 move up to league 1. An promotion is available if the third placed player in league 2 gets more points than the third from bottom from league 1.

Is it still 6 events per season?
