Monster's Pick 'em Championship Season 11

[nuraknu]

This is a prediction game with a seasonal league format, started by @Zeph (currently @Eau de Farage) and named in honour of the late Kevin 'Monster' Randleman. Here is the relevant information.

Length

Each season will last 5 events (sometimes with a doubleheader or an extra bonus event) and then the winner will be the person with the most points at the end of the season.

Format

Pick a winner for every fight on the event. Each correct fight predicted will earn 2 points.

1 bonus point will be available for each fight if you also correctly predict the method of the win, either TKO/KO, sub, or decision.

A template for picks will be provided each week for you to fill in. Put an x in the bracket for your prediction of each fight.

Team Game

We also sometimes run a team game during the season, with different teams to join. Each team gets a score per pick made, which allows players to drop out or join teams mid way through the season and not affect the teams score by missing events.

Look at the first post in the thread for the teams for which you can/should join. They are based on themes which change each season. Please join the appropriate team by indicating which team that is when you make your first picks.

Rules

If you change your picks before the event please edit your post to update your picks. If you are unable to edit your posts, because the period for editing has expired, or you have a restricted access account(you numpty), then make any changes in a new post where you quote the original picks - please only do this if you are unable to edit, as it adds extra work when tallying up the scores.

Do not edit your posts once the event has started. Picks are finalized once the event starts and no changes may be made. If you do edit your post after the fights have started you will receive 0 points for that event.

If you miss a fight, or accidentally put x's for both fighters, you will get 0 points for that fight. If you put two x's for the same fighter with different methods, you will not get the method bonus point.

Prizes

@Splinty will change your name to gold, so everyone will know you're the champ when you post in the forums, until the next champ takes your belt!

Last season, our winner was @conor mcgregor nut hugger, so if you want to take his gold, this is the place do it.

No obvious bonus event stuck out for me this season, but if someone is super excited about something, put it out there. Next season Henderson vs. Pitbull looks promising--will be Roy Nelson's Bellator debut as well I think.

If you've never played before, you don't have to do anything to join except post your picks to this thread using the template I will post for the first fight. That's it.

This looks like a fantastic card.

Guys I won last season by 10 points, a record.

We're gonna need some new blood to pique my interest or I'm gonna be forced to start calling out retired winners of boxing pick'em tournaments.

 

[Juanandonly]

I always wanted my name in gold

If CMNHs father had pulled out then i would be first place

@Splinty is probably too busy shitposting in his Trump circle jerk thread.

You seem so bored with it I just assumed if you didn't want the gold again.

Does it matter that you changed your picks after seeing what @BirdWatcher chose?

Lets see you do a whole season other than the one you got wrecked in. Step up, son.

 

[Passive Jay]

sure why not!

 

[nuraknu]

@Splinty @Wild @BirdWatcher can this thread be stickied until we get underway, so people can see it's starting?

 

[Sex Chicken]

I'm tired of registered sex offenders winning this competition.

Just wait until @BirdWatcher wins, then we will have lesbians winning too.

if you won this competition, this competition is screaming for me to join in and clean up.

It's the second time I've won. I could honestly win every season if I put the work into researching my picks, I'm just lazy.

But last season Turdwatcher and I had a $20 side bet on who would have the highest point total at the end. As you can see, I won.

If your wife ever gives you your balls back, put your money where your mouth is and I'll be more than happy to silence another forum loudmouth.

not happening.
