Wait, maybe even two... I'm going to get on another match I just realized I'd love to see.

[MD]

EDIT: Never mind, worked out something better.

[MD]

We should call our first event "SBR 1: Come to Daddy". I'm proposing throwing literally everyone into the deep end and giving them the worst matchups possible. Super fight after super fight. With that in mind, I'm proposing these matchups:

Mirin vs Ron_Paul
Marz vs Nunya

And then the winners can face each other. You can already feel the tension. Could you imagine if Marz beat Nunya, Ron beat Mirin, and Marz stomped Ron? It would be the greatest underdog story since JIBBBY. Tell me I'm wrong.

I already know who I'm risking my betpoints on.

[Crassus]

Damn MD, someones inspired.

I'm getting like six DM's a minute about this, on top of a few PM threads. Lots of strategizing going on, most of you focks just don't post about it.

You're one of the least-despised people on the forum, we want your input.

[NunyaBidness]

For someone who claims to be a writer, I find his spelling and grammar extremely off pudding

Strongest second post ever?

[MD]

Youre wrong.

I should be seeded over Nunya in MMA, since it's my speciality and GunShard said I was better at it than he is. That man's word is law.

Did he spell putting wrong on purpose?

I had you guys at evens. But since, he has a bigger rooster. He got the top seed.

[NunyaBidness]

Ok, a lot of people are saying they want to drop the minimum 3 bets at $200 rule. I really think that's a mistake, if you think of how the contest is going to turn out, allowing people to place only 1 bet is going to minimize the drama and increase the luck considerably. There would be nothing preventing you from taking say Hendo SU for $600, Hendo -3.5 for $200, and Hendo ITD for $200 though.

I think if I allowed it to be anything you want, period, you guys would realize halfway through the contest that I'm right about this.

It's not going to be an 8 man tournament, its going to be a however many can get in tournament. We will institute a series of byes if we're just over a power of two number, otherwise we'll do a sub-bracket to get entry into the main, sort of like FIFA uses.

As far as changing picks, the fact that I have to get PMs and update everything by hand means I would prefer to have no pick changes whatsoever. Obviously we can make exceptions for cancelled fights and whatnot. I would need all picks to be in by Friday night, as I'm too busy monitoring lines on Saturday to deal with this.

[MD]

Seed us both at #1, whoever finishes higher gets to be #1 retroactively. Besides, MD vs Nunya is the real dream match. Incredibly unlikely that both of us could make it to the final, but God damn, that would be SBR's Cormier/Jones.

I should be seeded around 15th. I don't even watch MMA.

How about we just make the rule slightly less severe? We could require two $200 bets, minimum, each from a different fight.

[NunyaBidness]

Still haven't heard from a lot of people that I expect to be in this, please give me a positive confirmation either in the thread or by PM if you're in and not already on the confirmed list:

Which one of us is the fat guy?

I'm all for the multiple tournaments. I think you're right that if we do a huge bracket people will lose interest quicker, better to have multiple smaller competitions with more motivated competitors and maybe a super-comp later in the date.

[MD]

Which one of us is the fat guy?

You're versatile and well-rounded, I'm specialized and I like fried chicken. Neither of us is black. Seems simple.

[NunyaBidness]

Do your winnings carry over to subsequent rounds of the tourney?

No.

I agree with that. Specifically because, if we wanted to, we could just extend it into a full tournament once the first brackets were complete, with no downtime. We'd just add the bracket winners together. With this, we'd leave ourselves an out with no risk. I'm fine with one big tournament if its what you guys wants to do, though.

In! I wish that Kim guy was still around for me to crush in the opening rounds.

^^ I'm in.

I'm not sure why you think people would lose interest quicker? If you're not knocked out you're going to be competing EVERY week.

Each week is not a heads up match between one matchup, its a headsup match between everyone still alive in that round.

Sorry, missed you the first time around, I see it now.

I suppose that's true as well. I'm down for whatever, so long as my ego is thoroughly on the line. Not understanding what you mean by the bolded statement.

I've got some suggestions for part of your bracket:

[Crassus vs Sacrelicious] vs [Bumdeal vs BIGDAY]

Meaning if we're down to the round of 4 at UFC 179

MD vs Crassus both compete against each other, the person with the highest bankroll after that match faces the winner of

Pun vs Gaberz, who are also both making picks for UFC 179.

The whole thing should take 4 or 5 events at most to complete.

[PunisherIND]

i think nunya is 100% correct here. what's the argument against 3 play minimum?

[Vaughany]

Strongest second post ever?

Quite possibly! Was "off pudding" intended!

Gotcha, not sure what was making that confusing but that makes perfect sense now.

[FightFightFight]

I still need the trash to show up. Whatshisname. Other than that, I have no real motivation. No offense MD. A quick proposal... 2 or 3 rounds per matchup. Reduces luck a little, and dramatically increases the "drama".

That also drags it out to a 3 month contest, though. I don't really have time to organize it as is, so dragging it out further isn't ideal.

Let's try it this way, and whoever wants to run with it for the next time around can make whatever changes they feel are necessary.
