UFC Fantasy Pick 'Em - Boards League Created

Paully D

Hi all,

I posted this over on the MMA thread but thought it'd be worth putting in here too.

I'm not sure how many of you follow UFC, but if you do, I've created a Boards fantasy league. Scoring is very easy to follow and is not at all complex, you basically just select who you think will win and the method of victory/round so even if you only have half an interest you should join the league regardless

It starts this weekend for UFC 190 and we'll keep it going from there.

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

EDIT - some users have reported an issue trying to join via the above link. Try this one if the above doesn't work - http://bit.ly/1DgnxDu

You can register here (it takes 2 minutes):

Hope to see a few of you join.

I'm in. Doubt I'll stay up watch but I'll catch up in the morning. Wonder what the % Rousey by submission round 1! Probably the most likely outcome of any fight ever!

Yeah, it was a bit of hassle trying to get the share link for the league too. All sorted now though.

There's 5 or 6 in it now, hopefully we'll get up to double figures by tonight.

Good stuff. 6% going against Rousey thats brave of them!! I took a couple of punts on some of the underdog bonus guys where I thought it was a bit too generous but just went with the obvious pick for the most part.

I thought I joined the league but I guess not! How can I join now?

Edit: should be in now.

Paully D

This will definitely get lost in the midst of the activity tonight and tomorrow, so I hope it's okay if I bump it again at some stage tomorrow.

Don't forget to make your picks for the Teixeira v Saint Preux event which kicks off at midnight on Saturday night.

Don't forget to get your picks in for Holloway v Oliveira lads! It's a Sunday night card so in order to predict the full card, predictions can be made up until 11pm on Sunday night I believe.

** Lads, just a quick note that from now on I'm going to stop including anyone who hasn't posted a prediction for 3 events in a row in the post-event tables. I know it takes a bit of time to make the predictions and people won't be around to do it every week or may forget from time to time, but 3 weeks in a row is a fair cut off point I feel. My reasons for doing it are 1) it just helps to tidy things and 2) it gives the people that are active/new people that join a greater chance to move up the table. The following haven't posted for 2 events in a row - mailburner, standman, Liamn1400, NicolasCage, That_Guy, Zero-Cool, Stiffler123 and PeeMacD.

Cheers.

One of our players (elkatsumoto) actually finished #1 in the world for our last event. Cracking effort.
