Fantasy MMA - Boards.ie Pool

(I had a quick search and found nothing of the like that has been active in well over a year so mods feel free to act if you need to)

Hi guys, was talking with Cereal and the subject of MMA predictions came up and I stumbled across Fantasy MMA on Sherdog.com

How to register:
Head over to Sherdog.com and with a simple email activation that takes 2 minutes at most you'll have an account to play with.

How to join the pool:
The Boards.ie pool is private which means you need the name/password:

Name: Boards IE
Password: boardsieMMA


The rules:
A full set of rules are available to view here but for ease of access they're listed below:
  1. Time: You'll have from approximately one week up to one hour before the event to make predictions.
  2. Scoring: You can predict fighter alone (50 points), fighter (50) method of victory (30 points) and round of victory (30 points) or fighter (50) and decision (60 points). Incorrect winner but correct victory/round will result in 0 points.
  3. Boosts: You'll have a number of boosts per event (No. of fights / 2, rounded down) which increase the number of points awarded for a win, but are optional to use:
    3.1: Correct winner - 100 points boost.
    3.2: Incorrect winner - 50 points deduction.
    (Only a winner affects the boosts applied)

Players:
(If a mod could keep this updated as people post it would be much appreciated!)
Can people please post their Sherdog username so that they can be added to list and so we know who's who?

All of you were added to the OP list

It says a week before the event, so it should hopefully be up soon, I'll post here when it does.

I don't mind.. If we are then everyone should predict them or nobody should, if ya get me? (it's showing the Tate Strikeforce by default for some reason, even though it was last month)

I'm awful at predictions, so if anybody is below me, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Done this before here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showt...p?t=2055823038

Went really well until UFC stopped doing it, probably wasn't earning them any cash
