An idea for an MMA contest – IWS Grand Prix

[SPX]

I don't think anyone on the site would would bothered by playing the #1 seed, or have any extra confidence playing the lowest seed.

I agree for the most part.

It doesn't matter to me. I'll stomp anyone's ass who steps to me.

[Mr. IWS]

Okay, I get it.

Well cool. I'm in.

We are full, but thanks for asking..........

Well, Vandelay is the tracker leader right now and Edmann is last overall... It is not like I am going to be like "Oh god, not Vandelay. Let me take on Edmann instead." Ddmann cleard almost 100u last year while Vandelay cleared a fictititous amount to be determined in the nebulous space time continuum.

I could get into that.

Well fine then, I didn't want to be in your stupid contest anyway. . .

Since I'm going to win Svino's contest can I use that as collateral for entering and Dan Henderson these titles?

Aliens.

A couple of thoughts: are these plays just going to be posted on the board as in other contests? Because posting second could be a pretty big advantage in some cases.

I think you may find you need a more definitive tiebreaker, especially since "distance = 15/25 min", "result = decision" is such a common ending. Something like: "Pick the total number of significant strikes landed in the fight as determined by FightMetric / second poster must pick a different number than first poster / closest one wins" might work

Well since this contest has zero to do with units and is all about picking winners I'd much rather face edmann than vandelay(no offense,inb4 I get told to kill self).

Vandelay had a SU record last year or 18-17 and a parlay record of 13-1 for a overall win rate of 63.2% while edmann was 86-90 in SU plays and 25-32 in parlays for a win rate of 47.6% .So since this is a "pick the winner contest" I think last years win percentage has more to do with it than units.

[Luke]

And that brings a question to mind.

How are you seeding this ? Over all tracker units?

Wait for it...
