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.

Trophies that don't exist? When Gregory actually implements those ribbons, then you could have an argument.

your bonus points for coming in the top ten don't exist either. i bet the ribbons come before the end of the year. first place and the lead is 2225. around that.

I don't know what you and wolf are smoking, me and joekerr both have more points than both of you, that means we pick fights better, plain and simple. It's addition not Algebra.

@ GASTRONAUT

It's because of all the changes and new players this week, the +/- might not be accurate for everybody, no big deal. You did move up 4 spots so that's great!

And I would rather be in 7th than 16th, R1zla also has 1 win, are you actually claiming than you are better than him as well?

All I am saying is that I would rather have 5 event wins and be in 16th than have 1 and be in the top 10.  I never said I was better than you. 


Yeah I think it is more important to win events than to place well in a lot of events.  people remember winners not runners up.

For the most part, the Honey Badgers did great.  a lot of our guys in the top 10.  Nice work Diet on the 2nd place finish.

SO the people that have been dropped and re picked up don't keep their previous points?

ATTENTION

Okay guys with the help of some other members we just keep coming up with ways to make this thing better, as always all new bonuses are being retroactively added. With that being said 1st things 1st, Me and Wolf both agree that the Zuffa addition was a great idea but there are far to many great pickers and forum posters to only have 2 per team, I personally know of at least 10 people I would love to add to the Zuffa side, so even though they will be one week's scores behind we are going to expand one last time to 5 Zuffa players total. We'll run a snake draft and at the time of this post, Cash will be on the clock, hopefully we can get it done before the UFC on FX 2. 

In addition to this some new MAJOR bonuses are being added. We will be implementing a month individual and team leader board. We are doing this mainly so even if a team isn't in contention in say November, they can still be interested and keep up on something. The 3 top teams at the end of each month will be rewarded 1,000-400-200 points respectively which is equivalent to 4x the weekly bonus. The individual bonus will be 500-200-100, which is only double because 1000 points would be far to much to give to one person. One last bonus is that since I'm giving out monthly bonuses to the top 3 teams, it's only fair I give out bonuses to the top 3 teams each week, so I will go back through the leaderboards and add 100 and 50 team points for every 2nd and 3rd weekly finish. 

any members and especially captains please give me your feedback and let me know if you have any objections, although I think all these changes are for the betterment of the league. A big reason I did this was so it would give teams more ways to catch up, I know in the short run it will expand ours and the Wolves leads because we performed so well in February and January but it will give you ways to close those gaps super fast if you outperform us over the next couple months! If there are no objections, Cash can post his first pick whenever he likes!

I am posting this due to impatience and wanting to get this draft done before Friday, so if Wake comes back and tells me tomorrow that either he feels he doesn't want to do these new leaderboards or that he can't then this post will be dissolved! But he is so awesome I doubt that happens! 

Just so everyone knows this is accurate I will post a ONE TIME SHOWING of the past points that will be added retroactively next week. This will be the last time I do this as wake has pointed out it causes drama and confusion. But here it is

Punk Rock-2200; Won January(1000), 2nd in February(400), Fresno was 3rd in January(100), Wish won February(500) and we had 200 points of past 2nd and 3rd place weekend finishes

American Werewolves-1950; Won February(1000), 2nd in January(400), Catalogger was 3rd in February(100) and they had 450 points of past finishes

Swick With It-800; R1zla won January(500), 3rd in January(200) and they had 100 in past weekend finishes

Honey Badgers-500; 3rd in February(200) Danno was 2nd in January(200) and they had 100 in past finishes

Sons of Tapology-350; ACF was 2nd in February(250) and they had 100 in past finishes

TTT- Unfortunately, you guys did come in 4th in January, but haven't had any top 3 scorers or top 3 weekends as of it, turn that around in March and show the other teams you aren't just going to lay down!

@lbj don't get discouraged please, you actually are performing really well. and 20,000 is a tiny fraction of what Bring It was down by. If you guys just start making all your picks, you guys may not win (remember, only one team can) but you'll definitely be in the hunt for all awards and stuff like this, I see I got a down arrow so if you guys don't want to do this we don't have too, just thought it was a good idea.

So I don't quite know about the down arrows, is it from people who are on TTT and just disappointed, people who are upset my team has the most? Or do people just think it's not a good idea, if so voice why, a down arrow is fine but at least be able to articulate why. And too make it go faster and to help the lower teams, each captain will be making two picks in the 1st round, then when it gets to the wolves, they will draft all 3 and it will snake back. 


One last thing, Wake has his computer formulas and such and was able to figure out the January totals without the last weekend of January and the actual rankings are 
1) r1zla
2)Danno
3)Soccer
