I am sure many of you have seen the previous thread I made about doing something for the Bellator tournament on September 19. The interest was greater than I had expected, which was a happy surprise. If this goes well and is enjoyable I hope this challenge will become a staple when tournaments are held. So without further ado, here is the..

Tapology Tournament Challenge - aka Gayffindor's Selection Challenge (thank you to GreenHornet553 and shot2thesac for the names, respectively)

RULES:
- Predictions for all possible fights (five) must be posted prior to the start of the event.
- A prediction for the total time (minutes and seconds) of the three fights must be posted prior to the start of the event - this will be used to settle ties. If a tie is still present then the tie will stand.
- We will use Tapology's scoring system.

With Coker announcing the lineup this past Friday, at Bellator 141 we are ready to make our predictions - once again remember to make all possible predictions for the events, any predictions made after the start of the first tournament fight are not allowed.
 

Once again everyone is welcome to join!

@Cthulhu, FYI, 1st round fights are 2x5 so max time for 3 fights is 35 minutes.

EDIT:: Unless you're banking on a Riggs/Diaz kinda thing and then you're a ******* genius.

Is it judged by rounds? That way there could be a draw in the semifinals.

i do not mean for this contest, i mean the event itself.

@rappinpapsoda

"Two semifinal bouts and one tournament reserve bout will be contested over two five-minute rounds with a one-minute rest period. If any of the bouts are scored a draw, the bout is officially declared a draw, but the judges overseeing the fight will each cast a ballot on who they think should advance to the finals “by merit of his performance."

Finished making the Google Sheets chart to keep track - link. Let me know if I put any prediction in wrong.

Also I need the following from these people...

Total Fight Time -
FaceStomper (none)
GreenHornet553 (none)
nogfan (none)

CthulhuJones (max 35 min)
ProdigyKid14 (max 35 min)
You both have 45 minutes as the total time. The two semi-final bout are only two 5 minute rounds, so the max is 35 minutes of fight time. If I don't hear back from either of you I will just assume you meant 35 minutes. I don't know if this new information will make you change any of your picks.

Fight Predictions -
hdmexiqtioner (for the Davis vs Vassell fight you just said "Davis vs Vassall Sub rd 2" Who do you predict to be the winner?)
nogfan (you gave me two prediction for both the Davis/Newton and Lawal/Vassell fights; no prediction for the Davis/Vassell and Newton/Lawal fights)

Sorry, brah, I decided last minute not to join.  My Tap down-time period is coming up, so I didn't want to make it difficult for me to ignore Tap for a couple of months by joining...  Bad timing since it's not during BLC season.
