Mini contest time!

Lined up this weekend we've got the following:

M-1 Challenge 26
Cage Warriors 43
WFC 2: Bad Boys
Jackson's MMA Series 5

Sure, there's no big UFC or Strikeforce in this lineup, but it's still a full docket of MMA.  Here's how this weekend's mini-contest will work:

Most total points on the fights this weekend will earn 800 bonus points.
Second place 400 bonus points.
Third place 200 bonus points.

Fourth place? Well, normally you wouldn't get anything, but what the heck, you can have 50 points.

Good luck and may the best picker win.

I haven't refrained from picking a single fight since I joined, so this is just a bonus if I win.

no 39 for 39 = 5,000 points?  it was 78 for 78 was 5000 or 10,000 points(last time). lets compromise. 3333 points. :-}

I was only going to make a few pick on these cards but since there is a contest I just picked every fight. This is going to be rough though I don't know most of these fighters and a lot of them didn't have listed records so Im keeping my fingers crossed that I get lucky lol

@loneronin. when you keep doing the smaller events you will start seeing the same fighters and it gets easier.
