Hey everyone I read DPOT711's post and it got me thinking. Since Tap isn't able to make the semis and the finals open for picks, we could do our own bracket style game. The two formats I could see are a more March Madness style, where you just pick who will win for every fight (quarters, semis, finals) and predict the score (or in this case method and round) for tie breakers. Or similar to Tapology's scoring; make predictions for every fight and have the winner based off of total points.

Bellator 142 is approaching, but a four-man tournament isn't that exciting for this, but could be good to gauge the interest level. I am aiming more for WSOF 25's eight-man tournament on November 20.

What is everyone's thoughts on this? I would be happy to organize it and record everyone's picks, but would like to have a minimum of 12 people playing to make it worthwhile - and competitive.

I'd do Bellator and WSOF. I'm down for whatever gets decided.

Ok, well we have five here. I'll ask around and try to get at least seven more.

Since the Bellator tournament is only a four-man one, will we use the Tapology scoring system; with a tie breaker being the total fight minutes of the tournament.

Great, we've got the minimum! When Bellator releases a lineup for the tournament I will create a thread for it.

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.

Anyone is welcomed to join!

Sorry, Yossome, should have used the technically correct term, *****s.  Otherwise could have used ****s, slopes, squints, slants, yellow bastards, etc....
