I was over 72% when I was cherry picking.  I have dipped below 67 since I've been picking every fight, but I don't think I've ever been this low.  Thanks for the kind words, I'll try like hell to get back to 66.6% and hopefully back to 67% after that.  You are correct in 67% is damn near impossible over the long run, AFCMMA is proof positive of that.

I normally don't do a lot of posting but, being fairly new to this all I figured I should give my 2 cents worth on this topic.

I agree that a consistent closing time should occur and if events aren't closed that creates a big issue. How about the events that don't close get counted to the following week???

i predict after that 215 fight weekend coming up(april 14th weekend) there might be one or two people over 66%. just too many fights and not enough info.

It looks like the INDY MMA card was finalized and points were awarded, but some corrections will need to be made.  Just an FYI while people are calculation points for the week 13 results and week 14 discussion.

@armbar I replaced Marsons with you because he told me he can't make late changes as he doesn't have a home computer. I still have my eye on him though and if another spot ever opens up, he will be considered.

I think with the number of fights that are starting to stack up, an implementation to taking the % to 2 decimal places might be good.

@theMMAmessiah I agree with giffordj. The points from an event that isn't totaled by Monday night should go to the week after points. That way, no points are wasted.

It is a team game after all.
