This is it, folks! The "TUF 20 - A Champion Will Be Crowned" Strawweight tournament is upon us!! To commemorate what could possibly be the most exciting TUF season ever, I hereby announce our first-ever Sherdog Fantasy TUF League!!!
Rules of the Game:
* Participant fee is $10/player - Winner takes all!
* When a match-up is announced each week, pick the Fighter who you think will win, the Round that she will win in (1, 2 or 3), and the Method of Victory that she will win by (T/KO, Submission, or Decision). For example: "Jojo Round 1 (T)KO", "Torres Round 2 Decision", or "Thug Rose Round 3 Sub".
- If your weekly pick wins the fight, you get +1 point, if she loses, you get penalize -1 point.
- If your weekly pick won by the correct method OR in the round that you have predicted, you get +2 points.
- If your weekly pick won by the correct method AND in the round that you have predicted, you get +3 points.
There are no penalties for getting the Method of Victory and Round Selection wrong, they are purely Win Bonuses to add diversity to the picks as well as minimizing the possibility of a tie between the winners. The lowest score you can get each week is -1 for losing, and gain +3 at most for winning.
* A new Weekly Score Board will be posted at Noon the day after the fight, with special recognition for any MVP's who manage to bag the entire 3 points.
* The player with the most points by the end of the TUF 20 Finale card will be crowned the TUF 20 Fantasy League Champion and receive the entire jackpot!
Important Notes & Frequently Asked Questions:
- A seperate thread will be created purely for Weekly Picks. Only the predictions posted in the Predictions thread will count as your official picks. Meanwhile, this current thread will continue to be the League's meeting room for pre-fight analysis, PBP discussion, and post-fight bragging.
- There is no way of knowing which pairs will be fighting in Week 1, but we do know who will get paired up. That means for Week 1, we will make blanket predictions for ALL 8 pairs. The result for the pair that gets selected to fight on Week 1 will count, while the rest are dismissed.
- We will be picking Winner/Round/Method of Finish each and every week, all the way until the inaugural UFC SW Champion is crowned at the TUF 20 Finale.
- The filler matches between the losers on the Finale card are NOT part of the tourney bracket and will not be included in our game.
- If you fail to submit your pick BEFORE each episode starts, it will count as a Lost for that week (-1 point).
- If your weekly pick is DQ'ed for whatever reasons (injury, overweight, illegal moves, booted from the show, etc), it will count as a Lost that week (-1 point). The other pick would get an automatic win for 1 point.
- Please make a NEW post (and purge the old one) before the deadline if you want to change your pick! ALL edited/altered submissions will be automatically invalidated.
- If a fight ends with a NC, everyone gets 0 point.
- Remember: this is TUF, a Decision could come in either Round 2 OR Round 3!
- If you get yourself banned during the tourney, you are forfeiting every game that you miss.
- In the unlikelihood that there's a tie for first place, the jackpot will be splitted evenly for the co-winners.
If you want to join in the fun, sign up here BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1 and I'll send you a PM with my Paypal e-mail! Absolutely no new players will be admitted in the League once the registration process is wrapped up, so sign up now and get this party started!
