BAEST MODE!!!
DO YOU LOVE DAN HENDERSON? Do you want to maybe pick a GSP fight? Do you love your food loaded with MSG? If you do, this season of the Goonweight GP is for you!

Digital Jedi lost the lead on the final card of Season 22... but he lost it to not a human so our season 22 champion was Digital Jedi! Can you best him and become champion, possibly even by getting the most points? Or will the RNG replace BestFightOdds as cyber Goonweight champion?

About the Goonweight GP

Welcome to Season 23 of the Goonweight GP! Every other week or so you'll see a new UFC card posted, you'll post your picks, then you'll watch the show and have more fun because some guy you've never heard of can net you an extra point if he can finish this before the end of the second round. You'll have even more fun when the judges rob someone and you get points for that. It's even better if everyone at your party hates the guy you need to win.

A few days before every card, I'll post the fights on the main card with a FORM and a SPREADSHEET. Fill out the form (or post you picks in the thread), and then check the spreadsheet to make sure your picks are in there correctly. When the card is over and I stop being lazy, I'll calculate the results and post standings.

:siren: CERTIFIED RULES OF THE GRAND PRIX :siren:

  • Picks can be submitted via the Form, or in the thread, though I prefer you do both.
  • If a fight is called off after the form is posted no points will be awarded.
  • Picks must be submitted before the start of the Main Card to be eligible. Picks submitted after that point are considered null and void. Please pay attention to time zones, especially for European cards.
  • Same goes if you edit a post with picks in it after the main card starts.
  • If you wish to change your picks before the main card starts, make a separate post in the thread and I'll update the Form for you.
  • Points for each match are scored as follows
    • 3 points for picking the winner correctly
    • If you picked the correct winner, 1 bonus point for calling the round the fight finished
    • If you picked the correct winner, 1 bonus point for calling the method of finish (KO or Sub or Decision)
    • A fight that end in decision is not considered ending in a round
    • "OTNs" are given out for correctly picking the Fight, and the two Performances of the Night. These award no points, but are used to break a tie at the end of the season
    • On each card you can pick two POTN. If you pick the same person twice, I'll manually delete one.
  • Commission reserves the right to award no points for a fight based on really weird situations
  • Whoever has the highest combined score at the end of the season wins!

Too confusing? Please consult this handy flowchart to determine your score for a fight:


Here is the current season lineup:

SEASON 23

Upcoming Cards

UFC 204: 10/8/16
TUF Latin America 3 Finale: 11/5/16
UFC 205: 11/12/16
UFC Fight Night101: 11/27/16
TUF TOC Finale: 12/3/16
UFC 206: 12/10/16
UFC on Fox: 12/17/16

That's right, another SEVEN CARD SEASON! I'm skipping several cards in that period because two are in extremely close proximity and aren't really exciting cards. This seems to hit all the important ones.

and then the spreadsheet deducted points from your Event 1 score to be a dick.

I'm going to just make a new Season spreadsheet this weekend to make sure everyone is fixed because there is something wrong with the data and it's early enough in the season that it's easier to fix it that way. Do me a favor and remind me after this event?
