    I've moved up the table a bit tonight, from near the bottom to the middle, got 8 right but only 1 perfect. Still a lot better than the last round.

    Formalities aside, could i just request again that any players who's Pickem name is different from their boards username please let us know by posting here. It hasn't been an issue so far but it will invariably arise whereby an event/month winner's name doesn't match up to any name that features here.

    I don't have much of a posting history in this forum but I joined as well at the beginning.

    Don't forget your picks this week lads.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager


    For anyone who made picks a while back and thought nothing more - remember, Sage got a new opponent.

    I only remembered seeing the above post to double check!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Also remember it's an early event for anyone who likes to leave it late.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Congrats to the Winner for this event:

    Jimmiijimjim

    9 correct picks out of 13 is with 5 prefects and you bonus is class well done.

    the_best_trophy.jpg

    Special mention must surely go to xtal191 as well. A very impressive 5 perfects out of 8 picks got him a well deserved 2nd place and just a few points off the top of this event very well done.

    It's fairly tight at the top one or two risky picks and top place could change often.

    Next event is:

    Fight Night: Hendricks v Thompson on the night/morning of the 6th/7th.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,649 ✭✭✭Whelo79


    That's my worst score ever! I didn't even break the 1000pt mark.

    That was a bad event for me. Dropped a few spots. 1200 score. Meh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Can't believe I came top! I only watched until around 12.30 and when I checked the results earlier didn't think I had done that well!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    I forgot to pick'em this week. boo.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Worst performance across this league and last, didnt even break 1000...:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    It's that time again lads.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80

    I haven't gone for a single one! :pac:

    One of us is going to have a bad, bad night of predictions. (More than likely me)

    I made most of the picks last week as I was away for a while and I only just realised it when I checked em last night!

    **** it, I'm not changing it now. Stranger things have happened I suppose! :-)

    Went with three myself, taking a big gamble with one or two of the fights it's. Make or break!

    Which did you think was the obvious one? Obviously seeing as I picked 7 subs I cant see a one that stands out from the rest!!

    Actually just checked and went with two. Think its the first time I have gone for subs at all!

    Well you're doing something right in fairness. You have more perfects than anyone, I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    Had a brutal week last time and dropped 5 places. Hopefully a bit better this week!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,494 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Decided to change a pick so now I do have 1 sub in there! In hindsight, it was a pretty obvious one, to echo jimmii, but this is a war lads, figure it out for yourselves! :pac:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Roy Nelson with the Sub..obviously ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    Top dog tonight with 2800, 9 out of 12 winners and 4 perfects.

    Happy with that, neededa big week after forgetting to pick for last weeks fights!

    Finally cracked the top 10. Loads of bonuses so far but can't get the perfects at all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 133 ✭✭IrelandDylan


    Came second on the night, not too bad. Keep getting the rounds wrong every time :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Wasn't looking good after 5 fights for me at all luckily the next 6 saved the night 395 points for Burkman was pretty sweet.

    2800 is huge where did that have you for the event worldwide?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    I got about 10 points last night **** sake haha

    #281 world wide.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    Subcommandante Marcos blitzed us all this week and takes the prize for the latest event. Got off to a ripper of a start. I think he broke 1000 pts when his nearest rival was on about 500, and there was no catching him after that.

    Well Done.

    the_best_trophy.jpg

    Special mention this week to Ramone Dexter with a very impressive 5 perfect picks out of 7 corrects which got him third place ahead of others with more corrects.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭finglashoop

    Absolutely shocking result for me last night. Couldn't pick my nose!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80

    Won't be watching it myself but there's a couple of interesting fights, not worth being wrecked in work on Monday though!

    To be honest it wasn't even worth being wrecked on a Sunday in my eyes. Some potentially good fights but can't handle the regular 5 or 6am finishes anymore. Unless it's a big event.


  • Registered Users Posts: 650 ✭✭✭csallmighty


    Hard event to call, don't know half of the fighters on it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 430 ✭✭Lenny17123


    Just picking at random for this and hoping for the best 😀😂

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭finglashoop


    2425 on my first pick. Peaked too early.
