EDIT: Back to back winner @joe kerr just BARELY gets his theme pick in time, literally 2 minutes after I had given up and gone with a default theme.  His choice is Hayao Miyazaki, in Joe's words: the master artist, writer, director and co-founder of Studio Ghibli and his over 50 years long career of brilliancy.

Get your weekend picks locked in, suckas!

Nice job @NoJuice, on the verge of your black belt too I see.  Well done.

It's depressing when you see your only one or two correct picks out of 1st place, but over 600 points out of 1st place! Damn.

I'm thinking @Toll is going to be a little upset with himself for not picking those 50 fights.

I think to stand any chance of winning most weekend comps you need to be averaging around 35%+ perfects on your total winners. Obviously you need to have competitive total of winners, but yeah, perfects are pretty much everything.

Agreed @Ronwah.. I have a very competitive correct pick total and am being blown out of the water points wise... not even close.

My Perfect %/ratio is 29 percent right now.  I wonder what @Poir's is.

Poir's is sitting at about 41% right now. 46 perfects out of 111 correct.

@R1zla needs to stop slacking off, he's the only red belt not in the top ten.

Good week for Contribs and Admins. 

Just a day after Gregory notches a solo win on WSOF 5, Poir wins the gold in the Miyazaki weekend comp. Scores are final!

Congrats to @poir!  Just a few more perfects and I would have finally gotten a contest win.  Guess I'll just have to be satisfied with the most correct picks and a silver medal.
