    To those who haven't marked a trump fight, don't forget to do it.

    Thanks to those who have posted early and remember to get your picks in by midnight Thursday 28 January to be considered for the Armbar Cup.

    Payne and Red, if that's what you want, then you will meet in the first round. The Armbar Cup is all about putting on the best match ups so I've locked it in. If any other scores need to be settled, let me know so I can set up a fiery first round.

    I know I won the league last season and probably deserve to come into this competition in the later rounds,but there isn't enough players to do that,but you still insist on giving me a 1st rd buy. cheers

    Red Weinie vs the undisputed king of the Armbar predictions payneNglory. affraid

    This is about as one sided as if Barcelona played Derby county.

    I'll find a prize to donate,so Red Weinie and the other first rd losers can battle out for it after the big boys knock them out.

    If I have got my time differences right, there is about 16 hours to enter the Armbar Predictions Cup. At the moment there are 19 entrants and I am missing a couple of Armbar legends, so come on Paddy and Ben!!!!

    Try to keep the game clean - rounds over 2 weeks can easily be edited after week 1 to ensure a round victory so I ask that the predictions made are really what you think will happen, rather than responding to your opponents choices. Having said that, I don't really care either way - I think it was Tito Ortiz who said "if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying!!"

    Hopefully when the new site is up and running, I'll get my own little area (hint hint Paddy Very Happy) where I can set up a proper entry form and each persons selections will be kept secret to stop what I said above.

    Most of all have fun!!! The first round draw will take place tomorrow and posted early morning (British time) Friday 29th.
