Ok so I saw this on another MMA site and thought it would be fun to try on here.

It's pretty simple really, I will pick one fight on the upcoming UFC card, so for this week on the UFC 153 the match I would chose is Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva.  You pick who you think wins, you get it right you move on to the next round you get it wrong your out.

Now I don't know how many people are interested in this or how long it will take so for now I would say after 3 events of a single fight pick then I would switch to 2 fights a card. 3 cards later it would go to 3 fights a card etc.

Anyone can join but once the first week starts no one can join until the next one. If you join and forget to make your pick for a fight then you would be out. Once you make your pick that is who you are going with, no editing of posts!

In the case of a draw everyone would move on to the next round.

Who thinks they can survive???

Post in here with your pick and you will be added to the spreadsheet for the first week of Tapology Survivor 1!

We got 40 people entered in this game, glad to see a decent turnout so far. I imagine some more will join up by the time the card starts tomorrow.

Yeah just make sure this thread is in the first five until the event starts :P

If Fitch wins this,Which is very possible.The game will only have like 10 players lol.

Also will you be starting a new season of this game immediately after a winner is crowned?

I'm going against my site pick and taking Fitch.

Re: wanting it to end at a certain time, I've done multiple MMA survivor games over the years and generally if you want it to end at a certain point (and based on how many entries it looks like we'll have), just start requiring everyone to have a different pick once it gets down to, say 10.  First come, first served.  And if it gets down to three or less, have those remaining pick guys in the same fight (as long as there's at least one on each side if three are left so that it has to end that event or, at worst, the next) so there has to be a winner barring a NC/Draw that event or the next.  Just ideas.

EDIT: Email sent with a few more ideas.

@MadMike yeah I will try to restart the game right over again if people are enjoying it.

@Kpro Those are some good ideas when the field gets narrowed to make sure it ends.

Ok so Kpro has given me some good ideas that I think I will run with for this.

First off when we get down to 10 people left that is when each event people will have to pick different fighters, whoever posts their fighter first they get him.

Also when I chose which fights on the card each weekend I might just do some different things like giving the choice out of 2 different fights and you just have to pick one of them. Or I might do something like you have to chose an underdog.

Thanks for the ideas Kpro I think they should work out well.
