It's going to be a race, but I'm hoping to be among the first 20.

@geez.  you, pierce, kalibo and myself  are all close in points. not sure about that bb guy in standings though. he does not write on message boards that often. i'm about halfway to third stripe. we need another big weekend with close to 60 fights. i had 2825 points that weekend. good luck.

Ya, I assume the 4 of us will all have it within a few days of eachother.

I'll probably be the last of us to get it since I've been 2 of 9, 3 of 9, 3 of 7 etc. for a month now.
I started July at 64.8%, but I'm now at 62.1%. I can't get a decent score to save my life!

Atleast your consistent.  I'm 3/9 then 7/9 then 2/9 then 8/11.  ***!?  We're going to see a rush of Black Belts within the next 30 days of about 10 people here.  We need to keep track of eachother and keep a proper order.

I guess we can use this thread to keep track of the 1st 10 black belts in Tapology history:

  • 1) Kallous
  • 2) Soccer
  • 3) Greg
  • 4) ACFMMA

EDIT:  Just and edit to show the list as accurate and official.  Still 6 spots left!

The next black belt should re-do the list, adding themselves so we keep track.  So if @Wolf is next, he would post something like:

"I made it!  I'm an official Tapology Black Belt!.. The 5th to do so!"

  • 1) Kallous
  • 2) Soccer
  • 3) Greg
  • 4) ACFMMA
  • 5) Wolf

 

Then we would have a running tally!

@thiago easiest way to do that is to make lots of good picks!

There are several of us with 3/4 stripes on the brown, so @Thiago.. you may be on the outside looking in, but don't give up!  Try to pick more fights.. that will increase your points too... until you get your black.
