I think the next step for this little section is RBR/Discussion threads for the UFCS and maybe Bellators. What do you guys think?
I say, we might as well start the competition with today's picks counting; get the ball rolling. I don't think many more people will join over the next couple of weeks, and starting it now might actually show how this whole thing works.
I was thinking the same. Lets do it this way. Should we get a couple of more entries next week it's voided - but as it stands it counts. The reason I didn't think they should be counted was because there was less than 3 days notice(only slightly) and the thread was just put up. What does everyone else think?
Also. We haven't established a rule for picking deadlines. The classic Kirks rule was 30 minutes before a fight, but I think that was abolished this year. With the UFC and Bellators there's never going to be confusion for when a fight starts/ends like there is for some Japanese or European fights. So I say just so long as it's before the fight starts any pick should count. What does everyone else think?
That's pretty goddamn good beginner's luck, I'm pretty sure I'm already in 2nd place ahead of a bunch of avowed hardcore MMA fans. Its brilliant number crunching analyst luck I'm much better at stuff like this when passion isn't involved.
@UnleashtheFURY I'll set up and do the rankings a little later if you want me to, if not that's fine.
