The MMA Standard Suicide Pool REDUX!!! Win a Boatload of Standard CASH!!

Hey gang, it's that time again. Now that we've had a few weeks after the last event concluded it's time to bring back the Suicide Pool with a furious vengeance! The rules are mostly the same, with a few modifications to make things interesting and to earn you all some more cash!

Each contestant starts with 5 Picks (you can choose from Main card or Under card fights). On the first event you select 5 Winning Fighters. If one of your fighters loses, then you lose one of your picks on the next event. You are eliminated from the contest when you have no picks left. A winner is declared when there is 1 person remaining with a pick.

Here's the catch: if you are down to 1 pick, it must be from the Under Card. This is to prevent people from picking only the heavy favorite and causing a stalemate for months.

Now for the new shit:

$500 bounty for entering the Pool. That's right, just for signing up and participating in the first event you get $500 right off the bat!
$100 bounty for each correct "favored fighter" pick (so the guy with -odds)
$1 x odds bounty for each correct "underdog" pick (so a +220 underdog would net $220)

As with the first Pool, anyone who has posted in the Introduce Yourself is eligible.

Besides the winnings from each event there are obviously fabulous prizes for the Top 3:

1st Place: $5000 Standard Cash and a Prize Pack consisting of a Dominage t-shirt, decals, and a Mystery UFC Figurine.
2nd Place: $3000 Standard Cash
3rd Place: $1000 Standard Cash

I haven't sent any of the shirts yet due to a malfunction with my retagging sewing machine... actually its more along the lines of I'm and idiot and fucked it up a bit and its shooting out a ton of extra thread on one side... But the old lady says she can fix it... so now Im on her time. But any way, I can send it to ya as long as you are ok with the Manufacturers (Jerzees) tag and not a "tagless" Dominge tag. If you're cool with that i will send that shit out immediately.

I'll try and have the odds out asap for all of the suicide pool events so you all have add much info ass possible for making your picks. Feel free to modify your picks when the odds are released, these aren't written in stone.
