as much as I want to see how big the other thread will get throughout the year, I think we needed a cleaner OP for newer members to be able to tell what is going on, so for all future discussion please come to this thread and kindly let the other one die. 

The draft is over and we have our 6 new FANTASTIC teams, I'm really excited to see how this season unfolds as I think any team can win after the draft here is the new updated rosters and the team standings as of WEEK 8.

Exactly, you have hundreds of bonus points over me and yet I'm still beating you by 1300. That's a pretty big gap if you're talking just picking fights. And I'm not quite sure what you're getting at with the NASCAR analogy, nothing is gained by winning the most races, nor do you have the highest win total either, so it's parallel to me not winning the league. However Gregory has already said he will be giving out points for the year end awards and the Biggest point bonus besides for the Champion is going to be for the All 1st Team, which I am on, and neither of you are.

bonus points i can do without. on march 1 st i'm 75% to 6th stripe or new belt. nobody outhustles me. i know how far SK is behind me b/c he told me when he got it 5th stripe. its almost a 3rd degree stripe in points difference. 4 wins and counting and 13 overall. i'll predict 20 to 25 wins by the end of the year. i want a bellator win thats for sure. got my strikeforce win but i want a bellator one badly.

Well this weekend sucked balls for a lot of folks. This is the first week in the 8 weeks I've been playing that I went the opposite way in the overall standings. According to @Messiah I had 5,500 total points, identical with @Lopati, however his team bonus points kept him in where he was, and I dropped 2 spots from 17th to 19th. Oh well I guess I had to have a off week eventually lol, I'm still hovering right on the verge of 65%  at 64.9% after 803 total fights.

@rorschach there was another event that wasn't factored in, Lopati also got 150 bonus points that wasn't included in what I posted. As far as dropping down, it had to happen eventually, it's not like you're sooo good that you will go on an exponential rise to 1st place lol. Although you are pretty damn good my man.

danno was over 67%. kalibo was near 66 % both r1zla and acfmma have gone down. i guarantee you won't hit 67%. i guarantee it. i seriously doubt you even get over 65%.

@lopati I think you're thinking about % as that is the only picking statistics that shows up when you highlights someones name. I know they are working on it, but almost 2 years into the site and Gregory hasn't found event wins important enough to even track. So, no sadly they don't outweigh all else.

So close to winning, but 2nd is better than last week's showing. Well done Sons of Tapology, now let's castrate the beast that is the American Werewolves.

We gotta step it up though.
