    So it's time to start Season 2 of the S2 MMA pick'em league. UFC 85 is just 5 days away so get picking!!

    Everyone is at Zero and has a chance to win it all!

    The rules and scoring has changed so make sure you read here http://sportstwo.com/forums/MMA-Pickem-lea...as-t116833.html on how to submit your picks etc, if you haven't already.

    As per usual, Pick the winner, method of victory (KO, Submission, Decision) the round and now you have to lock your picks in, giving your most definite pick the highest number and you most unsure pick the lowest number based on the number of fights. So for UFC 86, there's only 9 fights, so number your picks 1-9.
    Please leave them in the fight order I post.. it makes my life easier [​IMG]

    Don't forget: Griffin vs Rampage is 5 rounds.

    yes, if you could just put them at the beginning, it'd be easier to read.

    eg

    2 - Melivn Guillard 2nd Round TKO
    1 - Corey Hill 2nd Round TKO

    other than that, you got it.

    Trench, I think you got your numbers mixed up, unless you know something that we dont know about the undercard. And Celtic King your need to rank the fights 1-9.

    ^Trench, the numbering system has to do with points earned.

    The most confident you are with a fight. Say, you really think Rampage will win, then you give that fight a 9 on your prediction. If Rampage wins, then you would get an additional 9 points. If he loses you get 0.

    Then on a fight you are really not sure about. You give that a 1, if that fighter wins then you get +1 point.

    You have to use every number from 1 to 9 (in this case there are 9 fights).

    Right now you are saying you are really confident that Justin Bucholz will win.

    I haven`t look at the card yet. All I know is Rampage and Forrest is on it. I might watch the weigh ins and then pick.

    Yeah just don't forget to play, it will be fun if we had a couple (10+) players for the pick'em game throughout season 2.

    You can play the other cards as well, even if you have no clue about the players, since you might be lucky and get a win here or there and continue to rack up points. [​IMG]
