As we are getting further along, keeping track of data is becoming more time consuming. So to make my life easier, PLEASE follow these two simple rules.

1) Format: (please try to adhere to this)
           Winner/Move/Round/Tie break(on Main Event Only)
2) Use last names. As I don't know every nickname out there in MMA, if you are going to use nicks, please include last name. If two fighters have same last name in one event then you must include nick or first name.
           BAD   - Hammer/Sub/3
           OK     - Hammer Coleman/Sub/3
           BEST  - Coleman/Sub/3
--------------------------------------------------
*please note the following will result in no points awarded on both fights*
           BAD   - Emilianenko/Sub/3
                       Emilianenko/KO/1
           GOOD-  Fedor/Sub/3
                       Alexander/KO/1
--------------------------------------------------
other rules to make everyone's life easier:
1) No need to post a round when guessing a decision.
2) You can edit your picks up until 2 hours before first fight. *see note below
3) Submit your picks at anytime. 

*note* Please do not edit your post after the above time. If I haven't copied your picks and your post edit is after that, chances are everyone will want you DQ'd.

Example fight picks:

Liddell/KO/4/3:15
Ortiz/Sub/1
Fedor/Dec
Fireball Gomi/Other/2
Silva/KO/1
JoeSchmoe/Sub/3
Hughes/Dec
Showgun Rua/Sub/2

*Also please do not post the fight card with your submitals, just your submitals. If you like the card to be with your submitals then you can post it, in the same message,
above or below your picks.

BATTLEGROUND CARDS (Added 10-3-06)
Our fight cards will listed according to UFC/Pride official cards. Any opponent not official, will be listed as TBA(D) until it is. Our official card will be posted sometime on the 4th day before fight day. If the opponent is still unofficial, I will post a rumored opponent. If it turns out to not be the rumored fighter, the fight won't count.

THANKS & GOOD LUCK!
