An idea for an MMA contest – IWS Grand Prix

You're damn right you will!!!!!!

And by "whatever" I meant your mom.

I love politicians.

^^ I don't have any idea what anyone bets over a period of time. For all I know Vandelay is a God at picking fights... I for one can't pick for shit and fully admit that. Just saying, I don't think anyone is really that concerned with having to face any particular person.

But the more I have thought about this contest, I think many/most of the matchups are going to come down to the tie breaker. If I don't get a special reward for picking an underdog, 80% of the time, I am going to pick the line favorite in a straight up pick-em, even if it is a slight favorite. I think maybe at -115/+115 I would go underdog more often, but I don't know if there are enough of those close fights to fill out a card. Once you get around -140, I think almost everyone is thinking the favorite is the favorite. The line might be "off" but usually not enough to make them an actual underdog.

So this is basically going to be a tie breaker competition.

I think that for tie breakers we should have to play Scrabble on Yahoo! Games.

1st tiebreaker: person who picked more underdogs?

That sounds like it could add an interesting dynamic.

I like the grand prix idea. I do not like limiting the fights to close fights. My .02.

But as per the usual, I will play and dominate regardless.

[Mr. IWS]

We can open it up to the entire card, I just figured if we did that, we would all take the guys that are -700.

An idea to consider is making it where everyone has to pick every fight. . .

Thought the whole point of the contest was to pick close fights.......................I'm out.Svino take my spot.

And BOL @ X for not knowing what seeding is.
