Next IWS Contest

[High5]

I'm in and down with whatever you guys decide.

One contest. . . $2G buy in. . .

I don't have any cash, but I do have the password to my forum account.

We also need a start event and a end event. Could we have it for all MMA events? Or just Strikeforce, Bellator, and UFC?

How many events do we want it to run? I know last time it was something like 8. I don't think the shit should take forever to complete--no more than 2 months in my opinion--if for no other reason than the fact that whoever gets knocked out early will just be sitting around waiting for the next one to roll around again.

As for all MMA events, I don't even think we included Bellator last time, did we? I definitely don't think we should include everything, but I wouldn't mind adding Bellator just because we need the most events possible, within reason.

Nice.

Bellator sounds fine to add. But I think we should stick to UFC/Strikeforce/Bellator and leave the Shine/SharkFights/TachiPalace/DREAM fights out of it.

[Ludo]

Also I like the idea of a two month or 8 event spread. That way It has some depth to it since it is a capping contest.

fine, how about starting at ufc on versus 4.....7 days from now...and including all ufc, strikeforce, and bellator events? Not sure what the end date should be, how about ufc 135?

[Ludo]

Why not UFC134, thats 12 events in total.

That's like 3 months. Too long, in my opinion.

Are we going to include Challenger's cards, too? If so, the 8th event would be UFC on Versus 5.

[poopoo333]

I would like to, but its up to you guys.

[SPX]

I'm cool with that.

The good thing about these contests in general is that they will help to encourage us all to do more research, which should also improve our results with actual betting.

[poopoo333]

^^That's cool. I say we do all those events listed. It's basically the entire summer.

[Ludo]

Sounds good to Me.

[SPX]

I still say that's too long, but if that's what everyone else wants, then I won't argue. I'd say let's get some other opinions.

[Thewisemann]

I dont give a shit.

[Thewisemann]

Make it short if we are gonna do another right away, if not, dtag it out a little

[SPX]

I want to do it over and over. We just have to be diligent on the turn-around this time.

[poopoo333]

Motherfucker, I just realized I'll be gone for the 7/30 Hendo/Fedor fight. I'll be on a boat.
