UFC 145 prediction game

HOW TO PLAY - see second post in this thread

NEW PEOPLE ARE WELCOME!!!!!

First off, please note a scoring change on UFC 144. I originally had Eric MoreCambe beating Tapout1, but upon checking the scores I see that Tapout1 actually won that contest 28-26 (he changed one of his picks later on, but well before the event started). So that has been changed.

Here are the scheduled match-ups for this show. These could change right before bell time if one person gets their picks in and the other doesn't, then the person who gets their picks in will get matched up against someone else with no opponent.

World Title Match
Aidan (c)(10-1) vs Chunkymonky (6-1)

Number 1 Contenders Match
RRR (6-3-2) vs AndyH2468 (5-3)

British Commonwealth Title Match
Paralyser (c)(4-3) vs KeiranMC (4-7)

Temeura (6-2-1) vs Jim2007 (7-4)
Zanmato (5-3) vs Dr085 (2-2) *On the regular card, Dr085 is the only one w/ a 2 fight win streak
Tapout1 (5-4) vs Frankland (4-3)
Eric Morecambe (4-4) vs DaSpecimen (2-2-1)
Rza (3-4) vs Purist (5-6)
LondonPride (3-5-1) vs No1mmafan (4-5-1)
Beardybum (2-5) vs JGaldo (1-3)
Biggus (2-5-1) vs Barnesy1973 (2-5)
RKing85 (2-7) vs The Showcase (0-0)
Jimbo Slice GCG (0-0) vs CrazyCenter (0-0)

*Please note, I always do my best to try and avoid people rematching. However due to time restraints on my end, I only went back over the past 4 events and made sure you were not rematching someone you have faced in the last 4 events.

If you do not make picks for two shows in a row, you will not be given a scheduled match-up. I will keep your records on file, so you can come back at a future show (sorry, can't miss a couple shows and have your record start at 0-0 again)

Make your picks and you will get a match up come fight night! When you get your picks in, I will add your name to the card and match you up with another new comer.

When someone gets their picks in to me, I will bold their name on this post so it's easier to see who has gotten their picks in. If you want to make your picks in private, you can PM them to me. I will bold your name on the first page and then post your actual picks in this thread just before the first fight enters the cage.

[RKing85]

For each fight on the UFC 145, you pick a winner and assign a point value to each winner. There are 12 fights on this card so the guys you predict will have a number between 1 and 12 beside each of them.

You assign 12 points to the fight you are most confident in and 1 point to the fight you are least confident in.

For example, if you think Jon Jones is the safest bet on the card, you would go "Jon Jones - 12"

If you think MacDonald/Mills is the closest fight on the card and the fight you are least sure about in picking a winner, you would go "MacDonald- 1"

Give each guy a number between 1 and 12. You and your opponent will then go head to head on the night of fights. For every prediction you get right, you will receive that many points. For example: If you went "Jon Jones - 12" and Jones does indeed win the fight, you get 12 points. If Jones losses, you get 0 points

Whoever has the most total points between you and your opponent when the event is done wins! If you have the same number of points, then the person who got the most fights correct wins. If both players have the same amount of points and the same amount of total fights picked correctly, then the match is a draw.

I will be making my predictions tomorrow probably. When I do, use that one as an example (or anyone else who does this correctly)

Any other questions, just ask and I will answer them.
