About the Goonweight GP

Welcome to Season 29 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 find time to do so, I'll calculate the results and post standings. The coolest people post picks in the thread and spreadsheet. Of the Night Awards serve as Tie Breakers.

As with previous seasons, there will also be RNG picks.

CERTIFIED RULES OF THE GOONWEIGHT GP

- 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



If you pick a fight right, you get 3 points! If you get it wrong, no points! Pick the round, get another point! Pick the finish and you get another! Five Points if you get all of em! If there's a tie breaker for 1st, then I'll assign a card for the two people to make their picks for as a sort of "Championship." Typically this will be a Bellator card and not a UFC card but with the coronavirus causing issues we will have to figure it out from here.

We will not be picking every show because some of these shows suck and happen on the same day as other shows so instead we are tentatively doing:

Whittaker, Decision, because Till's going to throw four punches a round and stay on his bike
Rogerio, KO, Round 1, because maximum depression ending for everyone involved
Gustafsson, Decision, because for some reason I envision Werdum going back to Old Werdum and dragging this one out horribly once he gets knocked down the first time
Esparza, Decision, because the worst case scenarios cannot be denied
Craig, KO, Round 1, because Antigulov just isn't very good
Oliveira, Sub, Round 1, because gently caress Oliveira but Peter Sobotta has been disappointing for two decades now

FOTN: Dalby/Ronson
POTN: Tanner Boser

Yes, I am very cereal.
Stipe Miocic - Knockout, Round 3 (Will just hit Cormier's glowing red weak spot)
Marlon Vera - Submission, Round 1 (Calling an end to the O'Malley hype train here.)
Jairzinho Rozenstruik - Knockout, Round 1 (He can't remember losing to Ngannou so it shouldn't have hurt his confidence too much)
John Dodson - Decision (Dodson should retire if he loses this)
Herbert Burns - Submission, Round 1 (Picking the guy who came in more over weight)
FOTN Jim Miller vs. Vinc Pichel (Miller for FOTN seems like a safe bet...5 years ago)
POTN Marlon Vera (Upset alert)
POTN Jairzinho Rozenstruik (If it's just a standard KO he won't get it, but if it's either very fast, or he goes through some adversity first then he'll get it)

I think you have the wrong points awarded for the JDS - Bigi Boy fight, It was a second round KO but points are awarded as if it was a round 1 KO

You're right, I messed that up. Will update the most recent post I made with the standings now.

Edit - OK updated the numbers on the post.

Something is off on my total. I went into the week at 16 points, gained 10, and have... 16?

Is the sheet tallying up everyone’s point total correctly?

There are a few people on the "Totals" tab that are getting an "N/A" result on Event 2 (UFC 252) points. Not entirely sure why.

Dirt Road Junglist, rest his guts, & forceholy all have that but apparently because they didn't do picks. You also have it but did do picks and somehow aren't getting attributed the points. I'll fix the points totals to reflect your points from 252 and update the post.
