Things are a bit different this time, with divisions and 9 players per team, but the basics will be the same. The main thing, to me at least, is consistently making all your picks.  A low score is much better than none at all.

@mmalari, I hope everyone in your family is back to good health.  

By the way, how is Basque country? I was stationed in Spain from 1987-1989 (at Torrejon Air Base, outside of Madrid) but I never made it up north. Toledo and the Costa Blanca were pretty cool, though.

All good Fortunately, Thanks for your interest


Euskalherria (basque country) is beautiful no words to define it.

Good food (here we have many Michelin stars) very welcoming and friendly people, good beaches for surfing, mountain very good for trekking.


In the era in which you were in madrid stationed in torrejon of ardoz here there were problems with terrorism but today thank god everything is fine.

@mmalari, 

Yep.  I remember a few bombings at some of our smaller sites (areas outside of the main base where we had a handful of people working) during my time there.  If I remember correctly, they were generally crude home made landmines, equivalent to the IEDs so common in Iraq and Afghanistan this decade.  A few close calls, but no fatalities that I remember.

Reminder: There are two events tonight.  We still haven't gotten all RFA 23 picks in, and the event locks in a bit over two hours.  Also, there's TOP FC 5 tonight.  It's officially a Saturday show, but it's at 2 hours after midnight tonight Eastern Time, so it locks in under 8 hours from now, and we're missing several picks still.

According to Toll's spreadsheet, we came back after a mediocre event last night.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEc060MeUoQQ0hBLVNfRmc5NHc/view?pli=1


With two events down, we're up by only 5 points on the raw score, but 80 on the adjusted score.  Still 3 events remaining, though.

After 4 events, Toll's spreadsheet had us up, and with the 5th event scores added, it looks like we got the win.




Nice week, and importantly to me, we didn't have any missed picks this time. They had one guy who missed a few events, and without that it could have been close, although I think we still would have won.  Good job, guys.

Our win is now official, so we're 2-2 at the moment.  This week, we take on the Dilly Dong Cummins.

Events have been decided, and unlike last week, we have some major events this time instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel:

[Thursday, Feb. 12th, 21:00 ET] WSOF 18: Moraes vs. Hill
[Friday, Feb. 13th, 21:00 ET] Bellator 133: Shlemenko vs. Manhoef
[Friday, Feb. 13th, 22:00 ET] Legacy FC 38: Njokuani vs. Gifford
[Saturday, Feb. 14th, 22:00 ET] UFC Fight Night 60: Henderson vs. Thatch


Two things to note here.  First, WSOF is on Thursday, not Friday.  It's sometimes easy to get into the "fights are on Friday and Saturday" mindset and let one on a different day slip your mind.  Second, the times listed are usually for the main card, so events generally lock at least two hours, and sometimes up to four hours before that.

We did pretty well this week.  As long as we consistently make all our picks, we should easily make the playoffs.

Reminder: We're still missing a few WSOF picks, and it's tonight, not the usual Friday.  Picks lock at 7:30 PM ET, about 4 hours from now.

Great job on the first event.  2Nyce picked up a solo win on WSOF.  My scores were pretty bad, but everyone else did really well.  Plus, unless I'm mistaken or there were some trades I didn't know about, the Dilly Dong Cummins had three people miss the WSOF picks.

So, we have a nice lead after 1 event.  in adjusted score, we lead 2,650 to 1,785, for 865 points.

Let's keep the lead and make sure we get all picks in for the remaining three events.

Also, heads-up.  There were some late additions to Bellator 133, and they're outside of the 12-hour window, so they're pickable.  Legacy 39 looks unchanged for now.

After 3 events, we have an adjusted lead of 1,110 points.  Just UFC tomorrow left, so let's protect the lead:






Edit:  I see Toll's spreadsheet is updated and it looks like I'm a bit off.  I'll figure out my screwup and fix it tomorrow.  We're still up, just by slightly less.

Toll has the speadsheet out.  We lost some ground on UFC, but still came out with the win by 865 points.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEc060MeUoQTy0tS01oUlVDVk0/view?pli=1


We're 3-2 now, on a three game win streak.  Next up, the Junkies, which looks like a tough one.

A bit of news for this week.  We have a player who is dropping out.  From the message it sounds like he'll be making picks this week, but after that, I have a roster spot to fill.  Ideally, I would have liked to have a replacement ready for this week.  I texted my brother in law to see if he felt like joining, but no answer yet.  Right after that I came up sick, so I haven't been able to do much digging for a replacement since then.  Put out a few feelers just now and hopefully they'll bear fruit, but for this week I may have to take our departing player at his word that he'll be picking this week and let the chips fall where they may.

Any suggestions/leads on a replacement?

Also, just a reminder that we have a really full schedule of events this week, and that there have been some late changes to Jewels for tonight, so get your picks in.
