Things are a bit different this time, with divisions and 9 players per team, but the basics will be the same. The main thing, to me at least, is consistently making all your picks.  A low score is much better than none at all.

Events have been selected for the first week. Only three this week, and they're all majors.

Bellator 132  Prelims start around 7 PM ET this Friday, January 16th

WSOF 17  Prelims start at about 7 PM ET this Saturday, January 17th

UFC Fight Night 59  A rare UFC Sunday night event.  Prelims start at about 6 PM ET this Sunday, January 18th

Sometimes picks lock well before the prelim start time.  It's usually not an issue with major cards like these, but sometimes it has been a problem with smaller BLC events, particularly overseas ones. Always best to get them in early and then adjust your picks closer to fight time if needed.

My unofficial tally so far:  After 1 event, we're down by 235 points.  Not a great start, but still in striking distance.



By the way, there has been an opponent change in WSOF 17 for tomorrow.  It's last minute, but enough time that it still counts, so you'll have to pick it if you haven't already.

Unofficial update:


We lost a little ground.  Now down by 275 in the raw score.  Throwing out the lows, it's 6,105 to 5,820, so the gap that counts is 285 points.

We're down, but a good UFC could save us.

Looking at Toll's spreadsheet here:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEc060MeUoQNXBUNnZQaTE3OW8/view?pli=1

We're the 3rd top team so far.  Unfortunately, the Gunns are at # 1.

Outrageous and Ultramagnetic are tied at #1 individually after two events, and House Sparrow tied for first in WSOF 17.

/my picks, however, have sucked so far

Nope.

We go by what Tap leaderboard says (You, Cthulhu and magnu_one are all listed as 1st if I remember correctly), so you've basically gone and robbed CthulhuJones his solo points.

Unofficial results:


We did pretty well on the UFC event, but they killed it, even without the 150 point bonus to Kalibo for the solo win (which I didn't include in the UFC total, but did in their weekly total).  Tossing the low scores, the counting score should be 11,670 to 11,075.  

Just the first week, though.  Still lots of time to get some wins.

It's late and there's a definite chance of transcription or math errors on my part, but this should be pretty close to whatever is on Toll's spreadsheet when he gets it out.
 Edit: Toll's speadsheet is up: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEc060MeUoQNXBUNnZQaTE3OW8/view?pli=1

The good news is that we had the second highest total of the week.  The bad news is we were up against #1 for the week.  No problem, though.  If we can remain consistent, we'll do well though the season.

I know it's not official yet,  but if the result stands, you  guys put on a hell of a fight, I think there was a couple of fights that tipped the scale in our favor. I know it sucks when you're the second best score and loose, I've been there.


good luck next week, see ya next round.

Counting events for the week:

[Friday, Jan. 23rd, 18:00 ET] Ring of Combat 50
[Saturday, Jan. 24th, 20:00 ET] UFC on FOX 14: Gustafsson vs. Johnson
[Sunday, Jan. 25th, 04:00 ET] Shooto: Season Opener



Unfortunately, some better events (MFC, for instance) were cancelled, so we have sort of a weak selection this time other than the UFC card.

After the first event, my unofficial score has us in the lead.  Raw score we're up by 285 points.  After throwing out low scores, it's 5000 to 4790, so they narrow the lead to 210 points.  Nice to have a lead, but two events left to go.

After UFC, we lost a little ground in raw score. We're up 215 points now in raw score.  Throwing out the low scores, we have 8,180 to their 7,940, for an actual lead of 240, which is actually a bit of a gain for us.  One event left in a few hours.  Make sure your picks are in.

Sorry @physicdeath I had intended to get my picks in for Shooto yesterday afternoon, but was involved in a car accident while out shopping.  No serious injuries, but my truck needs some major body work.  This caused me to completely forget about my Shooto picks when I got back home last night.  This is the 1st time this has happened and I was doing so well too.   Please feel free to drop me if you think that is what you want to do. :(
