There should be two more drafted before the season starts.
My biggest thing this year is consistently making all picks. I care less about scores than about individual scores, on the theory that teams who consistently get picks in do better in the long run. Too many matches in past seasons have been lost due to missed picks, instead of someone just having bad picks on an event. Getting a low score always beats a zero score. I'll be posting the events, with times they lock, on your walls each week. Please make picks as early as possible, then you can easily adjust them closer to fight time. Sometimes things happen (illness, working late, car accident, whatever) that might prevent you from picking a few hours before fight time. Better to have mediocre picks in early and not get a chance to adjust them than to miss picking altogether. I'll try not to nag, but if you still haven't picked the day before an event, expect a gentle reminder.
Now, for the team logo. I planned to have a simple logo with the Thunderdome from Mad Max, with Godzilla looming over it. I probably won't have time to get to it though, since I have no photoshop skills, and it's too complicated for my MS Paint basics. I really don't have time to learn photoshop in the next two days, since I fly to Vegas on Thursday for Fight Week. Anyone good at photoshop? I assume it's a pretty easy project for someone who knows the program.
Oh, and bribes: I'll try to pick up some swag at the UFC Fan Expo - poster, t-shirt, whatever, and hopefully signed by whatever fighters I can waylay- for whoever has the best record of making all picks for the season. (Not for highest score, although if I can get a few items, that may be on the table, too) If there's a tie for making all picks, all season, the winner will be chosen out of a hat.
That the basics for now. Any thoughts?

I'll be heading out to Chicago on Wednesday for the fights, but I'll be doing the whole visiting family etc until Saturday. I won't be able to take my computer with me, if all else fails I'll find a smart phone to make the picks on....yes I don't have a smart phone (I'm a broke college kid).
Thanks guys! Hope UFC on Fox 16 is anywhere near as exciting as UFC 189.
PS. Might be going to TJ's after party with him and Danny Castillo. I've chatted pretty loosely with their cornerman Justin Bucholz every now and again so hoping I can get ahold of him after the fights.

(By the way, the berserker this week will earn bonus points if any for next week's match. Just like michigandolphin as designated berserker and our highest wildcard on the past weekend will earn bonus points for this week if they finish in the top 20 for the past weekend competition)
And on the past matchup, we lost badly. We made a bit of a comeback on the W.I.N. card, but we were so far down it didn't matter.
It was just an overall bad week for us. Hopefully we can come back and pick up our first win this next week.

Several others have been eliminated, and two are still pending the final few votes. These final two might or might not be in. I'll let you know once the vote is complete.

michigandolphin, I'll go ahead and designate you as beserker. I'll make all the weekend picks as well hoping for wild card points, and hopefully a few others will too, so we increase our chances of getting some bonus points
