Hi guys,

To help MMA fans find out about Tapology, we are hosting a $1,000 UFC 125 Prediction Contest.

We are offering $1,000 to the site member with the highest prediction point total for UFC 125, which takes place on 01/01/2011.  You can read all the contest details, rules and restrictions here: http://www.tapology.com/contests/ufc125.  I just want to point out a couple of other things about it:

1) If you are already a member of Tapology, YES, you are eligible for the contest and the $1,000 Grand Prize. Just pick your winner, method and round as you would for any other event.

2) If you have already filled out your UFC 125 picks before this announcement, DON'T WORRY, you are considered entered in the contest and you're good to go -- just let us know if you would like to opt out for some reason.

3) We are using this contest to help grow and promote the site, so if you know of people you think would be interested in UFC 125 or money or both, LET THEM KNOW so they can take a crack at the dough. Hell, they probably don't know half as much about MMA as you do anyway, so they can't much hurt your chances :)  Good luck everyone and make sure to read the rules.

@thiago we've got a simple tiebreaker system in place:

Tie-Breakers

In the event that two or more eligible contestants reach a tie for the Grand Prize, the Grand Prize winner will be determined according to the following tie-breaking system: the contestant with the highest single-fight point total for the UFC 125 Main Event will be declared the winner. In the event of a remaining tie, the contestant with the highest single-fight point total for the UFC 125 Co-Main Event will be declared the winner. In the event of a remaining tie, point totals will continue being matched head-to-head on a single-fight basis for each remaining UFC 125 bout, in reverse order of their occurrence on fight night, until a contest winner is determined. In the event of a remaining tie, the Grand Prize will be split equally among each remaining winner.
