I've just checked and I'm at the moment 1215 (1212 after the post) points away from the Black Belt with some 2000 points still pending from this weekend's events (plus 3 events without results so far and any potential ribbon(s)), so I'm expecting the belt any time now when the points are added and I'm already happy to be joining the club!

It's times like these I think of what could have been. What if I started picking fights before September instead of being inactive for 5 months? What if I was picking all of the fights since last March instead of only since January? I will get my black belt most likely within the next few months, but It's now a little bittersweet when I think about how much time I wasted getting started here. Oh well. Sorry to complain in this thread. This should be a happy discussion, so OMG I can't wait until I get my black belt :)

Same problem Sonnen, I wonder what would've happened had I started posting in the beginning of October instead of late November. And imagine if I was picking full weekends starting from October instead of mid-January.

That's probably why I became a black belt so quick is because I picked every fight from the beginning.  That's also why I started with a horrific pick % and had to work my way out of that hole.

Yeah, I too now wish that I had started posting regularly immediately instead of some 50+ days after joining and making more than a few predictions earlier than after 2-3 weeks. 406 points away now.
