There should be two more drafted before the season starts.
My biggest thing this year is consistently making all picks. I care less about scores than about individual scores, on the theory that teams who consistently get picks in do better in the long run. Too many matches in past seasons have been lost due to missed picks, instead of someone just having bad picks on an event. Getting a low score always beats a zero score. I'll be posting the events, with times they lock, on your walls each week. Please make picks as early as possible, then you can easily adjust them closer to fight time. Sometimes things happen (illness, working late, car accident, whatever) that might prevent you from picking a few hours before fight time. Better to have mediocre picks in early and not get a chance to adjust them than to miss picking altogether. I'll try not to nag, but if you still haven't picked the day before an event, expect a gentle reminder.
Now, for the team logo. I planned to have a simple logo with the Thunderdome from Mad Max, with Godzilla looming over it. I probably won't have time to get to it though, since I have no photoshop skills, and it's too complicated for my MS Paint basics. I really don't have time to learn photoshop in the next two days, since I fly to Vegas on Thursday for Fight Week. Anyone good at photoshop? I assume it's a pretty easy project for someone who knows the program.
Oh, and bribes: I'll try to pick up some swag at the UFC Fan Expo - poster, t-shirt, whatever, and hopefully signed by whatever fighters I can waylay- for whoever has the best record of making all picks for the season. (Not for highest score, although if I can get a few items, that may be on the table, too) If there's a tie for making all picks, all season, the winner will be chosen out of a hat.
That the basics for now. Any thoughts?

This season, I'll try to keep the nagging on walls to a minimum, and post most administrative stuff in this thread, so please check it at least once a day for any changes that might come up. I'll post the weekly list of events on walls after the vote is done each week. Other than that, if a change happens, or if you're still missing picks within 12 hours of an event lock time, then I'll resort to posting on your walls.
This week, we are up against The Load Warriors. They're in our division, so a win would be nice. First event is Invicta 13 tomorrow night. So far 6 of the 9 on the team have made the picks for Invicta. I'll check again late tonight, but this week I probably won't be available much for last-minute checks and reminders, since I'll be pretty busy.
Oh, and if you watch Invicta tomorrow, I'll be the larger, ugly, old guy here:

I missed my chance last night at Invicta. The place was loaded with fighters old and new, but I didn't have anything with me to get signed. Would have been nice to have Bas sign the Pride shirt. (Really bad picture, since the girl I handed the camera to didn't know how to work it, so she caught me in the middle of repeating "Just hold down the button until the flash goes off - plus she had her finfer partially covering said flash...)

I'll check UFC 189 and Supa Fite Leeg later tonight. Keep up the good work, guys and gal.

I'm keeping this for myself, because while I'm not above bribery, I'm also a selfish bastard...

Yes, it's the Mendes poster, not the original Aldo one.
