Can I join? I can transfer the money (20?) and post picks tonight.

As long as this isn't like wisemann's $50 contest that I bought into, which just kind of disappeared after 2 or 3 events.. what happened with that anyways wisemann?

OK, so far I've got money from everyone who's expressed any interest except for sbjj (and I told him that if he was having trouble with Paypal, it would be OK if it came later). I've got picks from everyone except for RedHott, SPX, and sbjj. Just a reminder, the prelims start at 8:00 PM eastern, so try and get your picks in by then. If you're only picking main card fights, submitting between 8:00 and 10:00 is OK, though.

Looks like we have 10 people. i.e. $200 in prize money.

How do people feel about: $140 for first place, $40 for runner up, $20 for third?

I am suggesting not a winner-take-all because that way people who fall behind will still have something more attainable to play for. (Important since, by design, the format doesn't really allow you throw "Hail Marys" if you get behind.)

[SPX]

Sounds okay to me.

[Ludo]

I like that too.

[ctm0808]

Third'd, sounds good.
