So who all can guarantee they won't miss any picks next weekend? I'm gathering that a lot of people won't be able to handle it and be able to research it properly.

its basically impossible to not say every team will have some missed picks. 22 small events will have cancellations and reshuffling.

agreed, I really don't wanna do next week.

But at the same time I know it could vault me up the standings and in turn, help the Sons.

As far as adding more pickers to each team, I'd be down for adding one more at most, but I'm fine with the way it is.

If not i am willing to take it.

I wasn't saying a whole team, just individuals, even without late changes I think a lot of people are going to be % picking with how monotonous it will be to pick over 250 fights.

I knew you were talking individuals, but i think you are right about people doing the percent picks.

such a large volume, we are gonna need a small weekend the one after to rest and recover.

weekends like next weekend are the worst ones to do percent picks, if that makes sense.  people just blasting through to get em done.

I will have all my picks done this week. Hope to fix all the shuffles and such too. I tend to do better on the small events so I can't wait for next weekend. Although I'm not looking forward to actually making all those picks lol.
