Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

MMA For Real Fantasy League UFC 99 Thread

 

 

Just like that we're back with MORE MMA and thus with more fantasy league.  Last week we had Felix reigning as the champ, so can anyone dethrone him, well we'll see as we have UFC 99:  The Comeback emanating from Germany this Saturday at 10 PM EST.  So come on in and get your picks on!

Star-divide

RULES: If you have agreed to participate you MUST pick your winners before the preliminary fights of the event begin.

FORMAT: It's easy, you pick a winner, how you think they'll win (because of the numerous submissions you can just say 'via submission'), and what round they win in. Getting these things right will help your record as well as your score.

RECORDS: If there are five bouts on a card, your record will show how many you pick right and how many you pick wrong. So if I got 3 fights right and 2 wrong, then my record for that event would be (3-2) and so forth.

POINTS: I will calculate a point system just to add to the breakdowns of the fight. Here's how it goes:

If you pick the winner - 1 point
If you pick the winner + how they win or what round - 3 points
If you pick the winner + how they win + round - 5 points

I will tally all the points after an event.

Struve is a monster on the ground...

he’s long and lanky and has a very solid sub game…if his striking rounds out a bit he could be a big threat.

I know picking Kongo is stupid, but I can’t back down on him now. I said on the show that Velasquez could make him look absolutely STUPID on the ground, but we’ll see what happens. I’ll still beat y’all on points!!!

Hey Charles, I had a thought: what about 1 point for winner, 3 for winner and round/method, and 6 for all three? Like, most folks can tell that a guy like Cro Cop is probably gonna KTFO someone with a head kick, but it getting round with it adds a better return for peeps in the know.

that’s actually how it kinda is…except instead of 6 it’s 5 points…just easier to add up..lol…but yeah if you pick the winner and what round…you get 3 points, but I think I see what you’re saying, I’m going to talk with Kelv about when we’re going to let someone be the sole winner for this first season and then we maybe revamp some of the rules

The seceret is to look like you’re in an arctic wasteland, and to double up on those cones. One cone doesn’t cut it, because that’s just not how Fedor rolls.

Also, BIG KONGO, NO WHAMMY!!!!

In fact I think I finished 11-1 but I think about 10 other people did as well and I’ll end up in 11th.
