What do you guys think the relative merits of Tapology's Fantasy and Pick 'Em Groups are?

They're not necessary but they're a bit of fun.

As many of you know, I can be a bit slow.... I’m unsure of what you’re asking.

I don't think you're being slow it's just an ambiguous question.

Relative merit is a nerds way of saying compare the common purpose.

Fantasy keeps a total of your picks correct/picks made while also offering H2H and declaring winners. These Pickem groups just go by 1 event at at time with no real reward.

“Relative merit” isn’t the part I’m unsure of.

After the UFC shut down its own pick-em-group thing, we heard from several people who wanted to know if it could be done on Tapology.  So we decided to put it together even though it's somewhat similar to the Fantasy Games.

Fantasy Games have a defined number of events, and everyone has to have joined and be ready at the start of the game. At the end there is a winner, and there can even be playoffs and other game options.

Pick Em groups are open-ended with no end date. Events can be added to the group at any time, and new users can join or leave the group, too. There is a leaderboard for the group for each event, but other than that there is no winner or loser.

You could say that the Pick Em groups are a little more casual, while the Fantasy Games are a little more hardcore.

Over the next year we hope to continue to refine them so that it's easier to understand everything. And at the same time, keep adding more game modes and options.
