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?

Off to a really bad start, but it's early in the season. Also, I hate to do it, but I'm going to have to drop a player this week. Anyone have a good nominee for a replacement?

I'll go ahead and play berserker this week, but anyone else who can pick the whole weekend's events can also qualify for wildcard bonus points. Berserker gets points by finishing in the top 20 on the weekend competition, and the wildcard is the top scorer on the team (provided they are in the top 20) in the weekend competition.

Oh, and it's not a blowout as the raw scores above might indicate. Their low scorer so far is considerably lower than ours, which cuts into the lead, plus they have around 200 more berserker bonus points than we do from last week. With those taken into account, our lead heading into tonight is 265 points.
