Destroy All Oddsbots 3: Beyond Thunderdome team thread

The draft is still ongoing, but with the first BLC event probably happening on Thursday, I figured I might as well put up a team thread now.

So far, the members are:

PsychicDeath
Outrageous
SoccerKick
Twister44
michigandolphin
Stay Ready
sreimuth

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?

Lulu, you seem to be obsessed with fisting.

I saw Asians, no squids.

Voting is done.  Kind of a thin week with no major events this time.

Lol yeah ******* auto correct.  Be seaker .

Any berserker volunteers?

I'll pick out again 

Sounds good.  I'll be picking all as well, but so far I'm doing crappy om last weekend's picks, so I'd rather not be berserker myself.  Maybe this week will be better and I can pick up some wild card points.

Just a heads-up that CRF for tonight had a few late additions, so there may be a few that still need picked.  Tonight is CES, CRF and Kunlun Fight, which locks early Saturday AM ET.

Just a heads that CRF for tonight had no new additions, so there may be few who should not pick.  Tonight is CES, CRF and Kunlun Fight, which lock early Monday AM ET.

If my math is correct (and with only tentative Olaf points), it looks like we have a slight lead after one event.





Edit:  Had to fix my spreadsheet... lead is a bit higher than original

Keep it up, and remember that Kunlun fights locks early in the morning, so best to pick it tonight yet.

I'm all in for the weekend.  Did ****** on CES (like always, **** that promotion lmfao). But I see others did ****tier.

Two events in, and now we're down.  Partially due to bad picks, which is fine.  But also due to missed picks.  We'll probably lose this week, since we have lots more missed picks on events that are closed but not yet scored.



One more event to pick, Aspera for tomorrow.  If we get all our picks in, maybe we can hope for a miracle.
