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 also be picking everything this week (and in fact, the entire season). But I encourage others on the team to do an entire week every so often as well. It increases our chance of getting bonus points - the designated berserker gets bonus points if he finishes in the top 20 in the weekend comp, plus the highest non-designated finisher on the team in the top 20 gets wild card bonus points.
We currently have 3 in the top 20, although less than half of the scores are in, so that could change a lot

I assume our 9th person was in "must be the usual Friday and Saturday" mind set, or was pretty busy and hasn't been able to check in to Tapology yet. No big deal, since he'll be the dropped score this week and it doesn't hurt us much.

The berserker/wild card bonus points are tentative, since there are still a few events yet to be scored in last weekend's competition, so it could fluctuate a bit by the time it goes final.

Keep up the good work. Three more events to pick.
