UFC Fantasy Pick 'Em - Boards League Created

Paully D · 01-08-2015 12:22am #1

Hi all,

I've created a league on Fantasy Pick 'Em on the official UFC site. It starts this weekend for UFC 190 and we may as well keep it going from there. I'm sure a lot of you already play, but it'd be cool to get a good amount of people into the league to spice things up a bit.

Anyway, the below link should bring you straight to the sign up page once you're signed in/register:

https://ufcpickem.fightmetric.com/pools/13232

EDIT - some users have reported an issue trying to join the league via the above link. Try this one if there's any issues - http://bit.ly/1DgnxDu

Good luck everyone

I'll join but tis coming up league not found for me there.

ASOT · 01-08-2015 12:27am

League not found for me.

Paully D · 01-08-2015 12:30am

****, give me 2 minutes lads and I'll get it sorted.

League name is just Boards.ie if you can find it that way.

This is the share link that they give me when I go to my league settings, can someone try click the below when they are logged in and let me know if it works? One of the lads on the Fantasy Sports Arena forum has been able to join up so it should be working now.

Cheers:

There were more than a few fights there where I hadn't a clue of one of the fighters......

Paully D · 01-08-2015 8:00pm

10 in so far lads. Still a few hours to go. Get your picks in ahead of UFC 190.

scudzilla · 01-08-2015 8:18pm

Do you all really want to do this? Last 2 times we've done any sort of Fantasy on this forum i've ran away as winner, if ya really want to take on the champion then, i;ve joined

ASOT · 01-08-2015 8:27pm

I still can't join for some reason grrrr

Nevermind I'm in.

Zero-Cool · 01-08-2015 9:35pm

Done sound! I'm atrocious with picks, this should be interesting.

Hoki · 01-08-2015 10:00pm

Bring it on!

Hoki · 01-08-2015 10:29pm

Anyone who has already been doing this ( me being one of those ) should probably enter a separate team cuz afaik they'd automatically go to the top of the leaderboard . Everyone should start from zero imo....

I won the first league, but I injured my rib before the 2nd and 3rd league...

Mr. CooL ICE · 01-08-2015 10:37pm

Trying to join this. The signup appears to be a feckin nightmare for some reason. Validating my account shouldn't be this difficult.

That_Guy · 01-08-2015 10:48pm

Done. I am atrocious with picks. Doesn't help matters that this is a pretty poor looking card.

This is how I usually make my picks when it comes to fighters I don't know.

Same here , it won't let me pick a username at all ...

scudzilla · 01-08-2015 10:56pm

Pretty easy for me although i did have to request the confimration mail was sent again.

Picked username after registered and went into the fantasy

Finally got through. Account activation mail took about 10 mins to arrive. Should be instant. I re-requested it about 1 min before it arrived, so had to wait another 10 mins to get in.

Liamo290 · 01-08-2015 11:00pm

Tough card to pick from a lot of fighters I have barely ever heard of.

You'll be changing your username to Aldo next :pac::pac:

Wrongway1985 · 01-08-2015 11:04pm

Ignore my overall score as I've made picks for some events this year

My thing is linked to ufc rewards so don't believe I can go back to 0 points

Set up a different account with another email address maybe? I'm just after doing it there. For some reason they wouldn't accept any version of the word Hoki so I finally managed to get in with H0key :pac:

xtal191 · 01-08-2015 11:31pm

Or just take 16785 from your score

Wrongway1985 · 01-08-2015 11:36pm

Probably the easier option and its in the archives here now

That will get pretty annoying after a few events imo, would be fine if this pickem was a 1 event only job but if its ongoing then having to deduct 16785 from his score after every event to see where he really is just gets messy...

scudzilla · 01-08-2015 11:47pm

not arsed either way, i'll make up 17,000 on him within 4 events :pac::pac:

Mr. Manager · 02-08-2015 11:43am

I'm elkatsumoto by the way

That_Guy · 02-08-2015 3:07pm

Happy with that. Probably the only time I'll do well in truth.

jcd5971 · 02-08-2015 3:33pm

Man that was my worked event yet, I was so desperate for points going into the last I changed my pick from Rousey to bethe lol...

Anywayvsome of those fights I literally had to guess completely, good Craic this league tho brought a bit of excitement to a dull card for me.

You can change your name by clicking on the little 'gear' icon (settings) if you need to.

Mr. CooL ICE · 02-08-2015 4:08pm

Bad start. I didn't even rank :P

Btw, did I miss something? I got 7/11, but some people have scores out of 13? What did I miss?

Was it after midnight you entered your picks? The fight pass prelims began at midnight so you could have missed the first two fights?

No idea.

Anyway, I am just, ummm, giving everyone else a much needed head start

John_D80 · 06-08-2015 11:40am

Few tough calls in there this week. Lot of 50/50 matchups IMO. Few guys fighting for their UFC futures as well!! Leaderboard will be interesting on Sunday Morning.

Depp · 07-08-2015 11:37pm

My picks didnt save anyway...great

completely missed the round and method selection bit

shocksy · 07-08-2015 11:59pm

Signed up and picks made.

I'm Fighter1888 :P

Axwell · 08-08-2015 2:06pm

Missed the start of this, signed up now but sure good to give ye a head start

jcd5971 · 08-08-2015 11:33pm

just threw up a comment on the actual on the actual league screen about those of us who joined early to save everyone having to root through posts to find out our scores coming in.

Mr. Manager · 09-08-2015 12:40am
