The Armbar Cup (and Saucer) - Update

With only 5 fights left there isn't many opportunities for some to make up the necessary ground to take out the round. Please try to play fairly. It is supposed to be a bit of fun after all so please try to refrain from "strategic" predicting to protect a week one lead. You can PM me any changes if you want to ensure you are protected from this.

One player copy and pasted someone elses this week, making a slight change. While this is not specifically forbidden, it is IMO against the spirit of fair play so have had their bonus points stripped.

Fuck I am sounding like a bitch lately...

Anyways, here's what you're after.....

I did really poorly in this event but nice to qualify.

Chesty vs Anfield was a cracker!

25 point lead, with only 5 fights left, im happy with that.


So if we want to change picks we have to PM you? that sounds fair.



Cheers.

The round is not over, but surely i can't lose from this position.....! Have to say i have been very lucky in this cup so far!!

Giginho i think you must have the headings the wrong way around.


Compare the scores of people in the cup to the saucer........

20 points ahead at the mo looking good just hope my luck dont run out!! COME ON!!! last 6 of the cup here I come!

I'm 25 ahead of Chesty with 5 fights left. Fingers crosses. Think i need to call 4 of them right and get at least 1 or 2 finishes/rounds correct to be certain.

For those that lose in the saucer, will there be a teaspoon?

Sure will be!!! The 6 highest scoring losers in the Cup and Saucer go through to the Teaspoon.

Sounds like a good idea, Ginginho will need another tourney to go into once I overhall his 15 point lead.

Sounds good to me. and out of interest, how do you envisage the last 6 of the tourney working? do two people get byes? Or pools of 3? Or a league format with the top 4 going thru to the semis?

Up by 65 points. To lose this, I'll have to have an absolute dogbomb of a round

There are 6 fights left arent there?

11. Yuki Sasaki v Thales Leites
12. Glover Teixiera v Jeff Monson
13. Fabio Maldonaldo v Guto Inocente

Also is Filho back on the card again?

Giginho could we have the list for the remaining fights? as i havent been able to keep up with all the changes recently.

Thanks

The top six get matched up with the losers getting knocked out. The following week the top 3 play an elimination final with the lowest scoring player knocked out, leaving the final 2 who play off for the final the following week.

Giginho they have made more changes, Filho is back on the card. Thales Leites is fighting somone else.

Do these people not realize they are messing up our predictions league??

Everyone has picked Filho to win, and then Leites to win. Leites will be fighting a can. So move the predictions for his original fight over to his new fight. Re-instate the original Filho picks. And then obviously keep the Monson and Maldonaldo fights.


OR

Not use Bitetti at all and just base it on the UFC plus MFC and Challengers, making it virtually impossible for CHESTY to beat me

"Not use Bitetti at all and just base it on the UFC plus MFC and Challengers"


I concur.

Sorry for being lazy but I don't have time to search the threads today - can someone post a final roster for the remaining round 2 fights so I can make sure I don't screw up again like I did with Sinosic?.....

Thanks lads

Bitetti Combat 6: 25/2
11. Yuki Sasaki v Paolo Filho
12. Thales Leites v Rico Washington
13. Glover Teixiera v Jeff Monson
14. Fabio Maldonaldo v Guto Inocente

16. David Heath v Dwayne Lewis

Strikeforce Challengers: 26/2
17. Trevor Prangley v Karl Amoussou


I think that's it.

we got an extra fight now?

No, apparently we're not scoring the Leites fight. So cancel that one out.

25 points ahead with only 3 fights left
