Thewiseman 2.03
MMA_scientist 1.72
BIGDAY 1.61
High5 -0.1

The running total for both trial events is (number in parentheses is the number of fights picked):

Svino 2.61 (17)
BIGDAY 1.61 (8)
MMA_scientist 1.41 (9)
Thewiseman 1.32 (13)
poopoo 0.99 (5)

zY 0.35 (5)
sbjj -0.05 (7)

Well, that concludes the trial events. We'll be starting fresh in 2012 -- I'll post more details on that shortly.

Thank you for participating and have a happy New Year everybody!
