Predictions: 3 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 200 Points   |   Tied for 76th

One of the most popular parts of the forum has been on fight night, where everyone embeds their predictions, talks about the fights, and can see their results roll in in real-time.

But unlike the individual bout pages that would automatically insert your fight pick, there was nothing like this for a full event. You had to go and copy and paste your picks into your post by hand.

Well, today we've taken a step to make your lives a little easier with new "Event Threads."  You can create a thread tied to any event you want, and then any posts made in the thread will automatically insert a summary of your prediction performance - including where you ranked on the leaderboard.

Enjoy! And be on the lookout for small upgrades to these threads so that they automatically bring in more and more stuff from around the website without you needing to lift a finger.

Oh, and this is a Bellator 45 thread.  It says it on top but maybe it's a little hard to see that.

SWEEET!.. This is epic but i was just wondering will one automatically be created by oddsbot for each event or will a tapology member have to make it?

Nothing automatic for these... but I'll probably continue to set one up before each event, unless you guys make a good one and beat me to it.

Very nice! I can't wait to be the grizzled old black-belt preaching to the new white-belts about how it was back in the day before we had all these fancy-shmancy features.
