as much as I want to see how big the other thread will get throughout the year, I think we needed a cleaner OP for newer members to be able to tell what is going on, so for all future discussion please come to this thread and kindly let the other one die. 

The draft is over and we have our 6 new FANTASTIC teams, I'm really excited to see how this season unfolds as I think any team can win after the draft here is the new updated rosters and the team standings as of WEEK 8.

@Wake ... this is the promoters FB - http://www.facebook.com/MadDogMcgarry  and this is the event page http://www.facebook.com/events/256441457747832/

i don't really use FB but noticed someone already asked him for the results and so far no reply, i've also sent a couple of emails but i expect he's a pretty busy guy and don't really wanna hassle him too much.

i've had both FB pages open all day and have been refreshing/checking them regularly as well as their official site, i've been through what fighter FB and twitter accounts i could find for clues and googling in between for any more info. i've also been checking sherdogs recent events page as well as a few other sites like addictedmma that are usually really good for the UK event results, but so far no luck

thanks Almo, it said on the live twitter feed we had that he won and i saw it on Mad-Dog's FB page earlier as well but it doesn't say how or what round so i didn't enter it

there were more results on the twitter feed but they didn't have all the details, i've found a few of the other results elsewhere but they don't mention the opponent and where there's been some changes there's no point in me entering them just to cancel them again.

R1zla, have we developed a scoring system for orgs?  Like how timely are they with results, do they live tweet or have pbp?  some small orgs are good about this and others aren't.

i've actually been trying to only add the events i could source reliable information and results for, and i've left others out that i had trouble just finding confirmed fight cards or that don't have their own website or up to date FB/Twitter etc, then i've gone and found live pbp's or results for them while looking for the pbp's or results for the events i did add. it's hard to know how its gonna go til you try lol

@wolf... that is why the rankings are kind of crappy and speculative... are you better because you are the best pickers or because you have the fewest people missing picks?

that is partly true but 6 feetunder missed 3 events this week. thats why he was just replaced. he missed the two biggest events in pancrase and hardrocks. plus james01 missed the same two events. thats alot of fights. @bbman. messiah said one thing that rings true. have people who communicate on your team. i did not know 6feetunder and he did not work out. it is hard to find 15 people you know. i know 14 of the people on my team  but the last one is the hardest to find.

Hard to check 20 events of a 15 person team when most people make their picks a few hours before...

7 people on my team make there picks early. that helps. i know someone who was waiting for an event to happen and then the timeline passed. if you pick in the last hour you defintely can get screwed.

I will end the week even if we don't have the results from  Into the Cage 5

But, the results WILL count in this league. I will add them when they'll be official, it won't count in any week.

I said it many times, ALL the events will be in this league, no matter how long it takes to have the results (as long as we have it by the end of 2012, lol)

I'll update everything, so check out the thread results in a couple of minutes!

we increased our lead to 5500. actually between two people we missed 60 +fights. one was replaced today. we are the best team. no doubt. thats fine 4-1 already in that event. looks good and its the first week nobody on our team won an event. lots of 3rd and 4th place finishes.

This weekend sucked for me; going from 26th overall last week to 62nd this week. I owe it to Punk Rock to have a much better showing next week. I will bounce back.
