    Welcome to all the new players - I hope you enjoy the game and feel free to trash talk your opponents Twisted Evil

    Just a couple of hints for the new guys. Firstly, when picking the awards like fight or KO of the night, it does not have to be the person you picked to win the fight. For example this round, Chelsea picked Griffin to win but had Gomi down for Submission of the Night. While it didn't pay off for him this time, it can be a good way to cover your bases on the tighter fights to call.

    Also, as changes can be made to your selections right up to the first ring entrance at any given event, it is possible if you have an early lead to copy your opponents picks for the next part ensuring victory. While this is pretty bad sportsmanship for a game like this that is supposed to be fun, we are all competitive so it may happen. To combat this and if you feel like you may be cheated, you can PM me your picks for the 2nd event or any changes you wish to make so your opponent can't follow your lead.

    If the newer guys want to continue predicting after their Cup run has ended, please do. All scores are recorded and I can set up a 2nd division for those who want to keep going.

    The structure of the competition is still yet to be decided but I have a fair idea of how it will work which I will post once I sort it out properly. The Saucer and Teaspoon will most likely figure as well.

    Let me know if you have any questions or complaints.

    Below are the current scores after the first event for this round.

    Loving the idea of a 2nd division Ginginho. Could we be looking at a 2 or even 3 tier system, including promotion/relegation and even the odd domestic competition? I know that this would create far more work for you, but the idea sound brilliant.

    Just noticed i had the highest score! And considering I had meant to pick Irvin getting KO'd and ended up picking him to win, I could have done much better!
