Welcome to the squad.

I'm a very busy person and will tell you guys now that I might suck as a captain.  Someone had to step up to keep this season going.  We are blessed however to have a wonderful co-captain, dtrain24.




Currently our other members are...

The mighty Joe Kerr
KnockoutsRock21
My 3x former captain, psychicdeath
My ***** Hush
last but definitely not least, PilloryChoke.



All I ask is that we each make every pick ahead of time, even if its just a placeholder prediction until you do more research. We all are beasts, and shouldn't be taken lightly.

That's all I really have to say, just make the picks and we will win.  Its that simple *******.

I'd like to think Joe Kerr will win the weekend competition if he's competing in it.

Also, let's kick some ass, guys!

You know I forgot what it was actually. Now that I remember, he should always be it. Say no now if you disagree Mr Kerr.

Also, IIRC, people in the top 20 or something in weekend contests get points for their team. Only the highest ranking member gets extra points for his team though. At least I'm pretty sure how that worked.

I'll try to pick a few here and there, but weekend events are time consuming.

I assume it's still you need to notify the commissioner before the start of the first fight who is the designated Olaf (berserker) for the team, so if you haven't already, put it on his wall or in the event voting thread so it's official.

@dtrain24, there are two "bonus guys":

Berserker: Gets points based on how he/she ranked in the weekend comp.
Wild card: The guy/gal on your team that ranked the highest in the weekend comp (who's not the berserker).

If either of these people don't crack the top 20 (which I highly doubt will happen with joe on your team, since he'll most likely be the wild card even if you haven't officially designated him as berserker more times than not), you don't get any bonis points.

There were a couple of late editions to the non-UFC events for this week's match. Just double-check that you guys have picked every fight.

We should try having a weekly wildcard guy or two in addition to pull in some extra points. It seems every other team is doing it, and could be the difference between a win and a loss. 

It just sucks that it's so time consuming. I'll volunteer as a wildcard guy for this weekend. I'll have time anyway since I'll be "busy" recovering from a wisdom teeth removal surgery I'm getting on Thursday.

That sucks dtrain, hope you heal up man. I can get in on a weekly rotating cycle but can't promise I'll spend a ton of time on my picks until the playoffs.

Ouch.  Wisdom teeth extraction is a pain.  The good news is that it usually heals pretty quickly.

On topic, now that I'm back home, I'll try to pick all events this week (and will try to pick all of them for the rest of the season).  The way the Berserker/wildcard thing works is that the designated berserker gets additional points based on his place in the weekend competition, down to 20th place.  Anything lower than 20th scores zero bonus points.  The wildcard is whoever else on the team scores highest on the weekend competition.  So, to increase chances of scoring points, the more people on the team who make all weekend picks, thebetter the odds of bonus points.  So if 4 people other than the designated berserker make all the picks and finish 5th, 9th, 16th and 23rd, the wildcard would be the guy who placed 5th, earning 205 points.  

So, while I'd rather not be berserker this week, I'll try to make all the picks in hopes of getting lucky and finishing high enough to earn some points.  The more of us who make all the weekend competition picks, the better.

Thanks guys. I'm not looking forward to my diet of purely apple sauce, broth and pudding. 

At least there's some mashed potatoes and ice cream involved.

Anyway, yeah, I agree. Joe Kerr should always be the berserker, haha.

Yeah even when I spend a ton of time researching and carefully picking I lose to Joe Kerr 9/10 times.  He should be Berserker without a doubt.  I'm also fairly sure he is a robot that runs on algorithms.
