Good man

Mr. Manager

New near. New me. Time to get that gold again

In case I haven't posted this enough (think this the 3rd time)...

kwestfan08

Thanks for setting this up. I'll give this a bash this year. Hopefully it will go better than the PL fantasy team I had this year :P

callaway92

I'll give this a go this year too

JoeyJJ

Im in, hopefully keep it going.

csallmighty

Tough event to start off with, haven't even heard of half of those fighters

John_D80

Fair play jcd.

If you have any questions on the day to day running of the league feel free to ask me.

If I could just make a point though. If anybody has any suggestions on how to improve the league bring them up now so any changes can be implemented before the start.

Wrongway1985

Fair play 13 in so far keep joining all!

Finished 6th or so last time out not bad I thought had to end year by only getting 3/9 picks correct though

Can I join and then give up after a few events? Or would it mess things up for the rest of the people?

Makes no odds to the league, no. Do as you please

I'm in. Will do my picks tonight.

First time playing so a bit unsure. Do you just make your picks and press the red save button? I don't have to do anything else?

That's all it is. Just refresh and make sure your picks are actually saved though, a lot of us have been caught out at some point for the picks not being recorded.

Cheers. Yeah all seems present and correct. Best of luck.

Website not great for links to the boards league.

Lot of high scores last night!

Mr. Manager

Axwell takes the lead in a very high scoring event

kwestfan08

9/12 with 3 perfect. Happy enough although I had down Held for a decision but that's judges for you.

kwestfan08

Nice to have pick em back this weekend. Really got me invested in fights I maybe wouldn't have been all that interested in.

Mr. Manager

Went for a big gamble on this one!

jcd5971

Reminder Guys event this weekend dont forget to get your picks in.
Good Luck

Didn't take longer for the top of the table to have a very familiar look! I'm 40th now fingers crossed my season doesn't peak in week 2!

jcd5971

Away today will post updated league standings tonight.

Shocking event for me personally though worst in a long time.

jcd5971

Sorry for the delay was away for a few days heres the table for last event.



Edit: embedded image not showing up for some reason so just attached it, not sure why if anyone has any ideas feel free to enlighten me ;-)

Axwell

Had you hosted it on an image sharing site first? You need to host it on something like http://imgur.com/ - then you embed the link from it. You probably are aware and its something else but just in case that was the issue.

jimmii

I better get a trophy for that!

I'm still waiting on mine for the last event so good luck with that! :pac:

Who's running this thing? Tut tut.

jimmii

7th in the world :cool:

jimmii

Reminder for Lewis v Browne.

Swashbuckler

7th in the world is pretty incredible. Fair play man.

The top two already have a bit of a gap but 3rd is just a bonus away. I'll enjoy it while it lasts!

kwestfan08

What's with the tie breaker questions this week? My first year so still new to the game.

Total fight time and main event takedowns. I wonder if anyone in the whole game will go as high as 3 for TDs!

It's just there incase two people in a league happen to end up on the same score. Means nothing really.

I need to learn how to do the readings better!

I always thought it was a random thing to have to do. Bit sickening to finish an event second on the tiebreaker.

EDIT: Just seen there's period winners and this is the last event of the period so needs a single winner. Be nice to have a monster night and pick that up!!

jimmii

I wonder what Khabib would think if he saw in the help section of Pick Em that in the example on how a pick works that the UFC have him losing to the mighty 14-7 record George Sotiropoulos! You would think now its been going a while they would use a fight that actually happened as an example!.

I followed the overall world rankings a lot last year and I can say with confidence that as a group, our small little league is well up there every week.

Axwell

Fierce lack of trophies around here these days..

jimmii

Reminder for UFC 209 this weekend.

Axwell

Your willingness to tell people when events are on will bite you in the ass, you never see Swashbuckler on here telling people to make their picks.

I'm on Team Boards!

jimmii

Brutal!

Axwell

Absolute shocker, made some nice ground on you Jimmii but I dont think anyone was loving that card with 6/11 and 7/11 being good scores!

jimmii

I'm just glad I didn't sit through it too! That would have been double pain!
