UFC Fantasy Pick 'Em - Boards League Created

Paully D

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

League not found for me.

Paully D

****, 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

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

scudzilla

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

I still can't join for some reason grrrr

Nevermind I'm in.

Zero-Cool

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

Hoki

Bring it on!

Hoki

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

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

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

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

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

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

Or just take 16785 from your score

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

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

jcd5971

EuskalHerria

Mr. Manager

I'm elkatsumoto by the way

That_Guy

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

jcd5971

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

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

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

My picks didnt save anyway...great completely missed the round and method selection bit

shocksy

Signed up and picks made.

I'm Fighter1888 :P

Axwell

jcd5971

Mr. Manager

ASOT
