Yorma had the advantage of having at least a 150+ fights a week so It's kind of unfair to us earlier guys. :(

You earned the 62 spot... over 30 spots before @yorma @Wish.  But yeah... the first bunch of Tapology members who stayed loyal definately have the advantage.

What I meant Kalibo was how he got the blackbelt so quickly.

Ah.. I see your point now.  Yeah, the weekend contest(s) have grown tremendously along with the growth of membership... It took most of the "originals" 6 months or more to get their Black belts... Now members can get one in a 3rd of the time.

Hello, fellow black belts.  I am pleased to join your storied company.

Congrats Dakej. 

to put it in perspective I had my 270th fight pick roughly on June 25th (I joined on February 2nd) now granted I didn't pick every single fight for the first few months but it took me nearly 5 months to pick the same amount we just went through this weekend

grats Dakej

I'm ready to run the gauntlet as my black belt initiation fellas.

EDIT: It's not a competition to get to black belt in a certain amount of time, everyone knows there are more events now and even though myself and Yeauxrma were weeks faster than the previous fastest, it's only a matter of time til someone does it weeks faster than us if we have weekends keep growing.  I don't think there's any reason to have negative feelings for something we have no control over, no one is bragging.  I'd like to think myself and Yeauxrma have contributed a lot to the community in our 2+ months here.  Just my piece.  Group hug time.  Anyways, glad I beat Oddsbot ;p
