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?

Oh, and don't worry too much about bad picks. I'm more worried about getting them all made than the actual scores. If we consistently make all picks, we'll get our share of wins.

Also, any volunteers to be the designated berserker this week and pick everything?
I'll post the full schedule of events for the week once voting is complete and I get a little sleep.

For the overnight and morning events, we're all good on W.I.N., missing a few on ONE FC, and missing one on UFC FN 72. I'll recheck the overnight/morning fights during Bellator tonight.

UFC FN 72 locks in 8 hours, all picks made
Titan FC 34 locks in 17 hours, several picks missing, especially for some late additions to the card

We're set for the morning picks other than one fight, so just have the Saturday night and Sunday night events to go
