Out of last place and it's fuckin on next week!

No doubt. You could get 11 points next weekend if all your guys get finishes.

So how does this work with me having Chad Mendes fight Clay Guida? Is that automatically a wash for me?

No matter what... you LOSE!

You are actually gauranteed at least 1 point as long as the fight doesn't end in a draw.
You get your "loss" point waved if you lose to someone on your own team.
So, you just want a finish.

Oh actually it doesn't matter. Turns out Guida pulled out of that a little while back. Mendes is now fighting Darren Elkins.

Standing's updated....

Berserk gained 3 points with Henderson's win over Melendez.
I gained 3 points with Benavidez's KO.
Trigger got 3 points for Mendes' KO, but lost a point for Mir's loss (net 2 points)
Chrom got 3 points for Cormier's win, but lost 2 points for Melendez and Diaz's losses (net 1 point).

Fights coming up this weekend (my week to take the lead!!)

Jones (Stock) vs Sonnen (Chrom)
Davis (Stock) vs Magahaes
Bisping (Stock) vs Belcher

Fuckin shit! That was supposed to be my break away! Now I'm tied for last... til Sonnen loses next week!

Damn stock, looks like you will be getting a ton of points next event lol

I should definitely be the favorite in all those fights.
Although, I would love for Belcher and Sonnen to get brutal KOs.

You should have known I wouldn't go into last place quietly.

8 Points and the lead with Jones', Bisping's, and Davis' wins.

Berserk still has the lead in League Standings though. Velasquez's win over Dos Santos is the difference there.

I lost a point along with Rockhold's chin. Next up on May 25.
Cain Velasquez (Berserk) vs Antonio Silva
Junior Dos Santos (Stock) vs Mark Hunt
Donald Cerrone (Stock) vs KJ Noons
Glover Teixeira (Stock) vs James Te Huna

Berserk adds 3 points with Cain's win.
I add 8 points with Dos Santos', Cerrone's, and Teixeira's wins.
My last pick has gotten me the most points so far.

Rashad Evans (Berserk) vs Dan Henderson
Shogun Rua (Chrom) vs Antonio Nogueira - Cancelled Fight

Berserk adds 2 points for Rashad Evans' win.

Fights coming up on July 6th:

A good weekend for Chrom, adding 6 points with Weidman and Edgar wins.

Fights coming up on July 27th.
Rory MacDonald (Triggerman) vs Jake Ellenberger (Stock)

 

Triggerman adds 3 points with MacDonald's win.
I lost a point with Ellenberger's loss.

This weekend will be the last fights for this fantasy season (it will be 1 year).
Berserk is in great position to pass me up.

Aldo (Berserk) vs Jung (Chrom)
Machida (Berserk) vs Davis (Stock)

As a reminder, $2500 will be rewarded to the winner in each category (Total Points and League Standings). $500 to second place in each category.
With Aldo and Machida wins, Berserk will get $5000 in standard cash.

Final Standings posted.
In the final card, Berserk added 3 points with Aldo's win and Machida's loss.
I added 3 points with Davis' win.

I edge out Berserk by 3 points in the final points standings.
Berserk beats me in the final league standings (going 6-3) against all drafted fighters. ($2500).

Other teams will still get $15/win.  
Berserk ($3000)
Stock ($3000)
Chrom ($120)
Triggerman ($120)

Any interest in doing another year?
Here are my thoughts.
Same scoring rules as this season.

Will treat this as a keeper league where you can keep up to two fighters with no draft penalty.
You can keep up to 2 more fighters at the cost of your 4th and 5th round picks.

Draft order:
1. Triggerman
2. Chrom
3. Berserk
4. Stock
5+. Any additional members first come; first serve.


Since it would be too difficult to pick a draft day given everyone's schedules, I would suggest doing a proxy draft again. Rosters would need to be set before the August 17th UFC Card.

At this point, please let me know if there is any interest among the current group to do this again.

Awesome! Any interest in another season? I'm thinking we have to up the ante though and increase the prizes...

payouts have been made

Yeah I'm in I guess. I got the #1 overall pick, so why the hell not, right? lol
But can you explain this a little? I don't really follow:

I have the official rules in the "season two thread".
I decided to give the newcomers first picks in the first round for a couple of reasons.
1. To get more interest for more participants.
2. Assuming everyone keeps at least one fighter, us for will already get a leg up in the draft.

Oh so we can carry-over two fighters, and up to two more if we sacrifice our 4th and 5th picks.

Got it.

OK, I just read the rules. Now I got it.
