Anyone who likes picking fights may sign up for this event. The only people who are already signed up were the ones who advanced in the tournament at last week's show. But we can have as many non-tourney matches as we have participants. The Bellator event takes place on September 24th, and that is when your picks will be due by the time the fights start at 7 PM Eastern time. The winner of the tourney gets this belt, made by limba like the tourney brackets:

How to Pick

We are picking every fight from the main card of Bellator 51, and whichever 2 prelim fights you choose, and send them to me in a private message:

Quote:

MAIN CARD (Pick All of these)

* Alexis Vila vs. Joe Warren
* Eduardo Dantas vs. Wilson Reis
* Luiz Nogueira vs. Ed West
* Chase Beebe vs. Marcos Galvao

PRELIMINARY CARD (Pick 2 of these)

* Jessica Eye vs. Casey Noland
* Frank Caraballo vs. Dustin Kempf
* John Hawk vs. Allan Weickert
* Dane Bonnigson vs. Dan Spohn
* Farkhad Sharipov vs. Jesse Riggleman
* Joey Holt vs. Clint Musser

Quote:

Select the correct fighter: 10 points
Select the correct method of win: 5 points
Method includes Submission, KO/TKO and Decision.
Select the correct round of win: 3 points
If you select the fight to end by decision then you must choose either unanimous, split or majority instead of a round. If you want to predict a rare outcome such as a DQ or a draw you may do that as well. For the DQ, include the name of the winning fighter and the round it occurred, and for a draw include the type of draw the decision was (unanimous, split or majority).

In addition you can earn bonus points for EACH fight by putting the fights in order from your most confident pick to your least confident when you PM them. If there are 10 fights on the card then your most confident pick could earn you an extra 10 points if you get it correct.

If anyone has any questions, post them here or send me a pm. The rest of the matchups will be posted before the event.

Yes truly the Final 4 were the best to advance to the semi finals, no one looks out of place, that said i'm going all the way to win this thing, it would help if I didn't have a reliable pick sender to face

**Rauno** · 09-21-2011, 05:54 AM

Sign me up.

**limba** · 09-23-2011, 07:02 AM

Sign me up also and if another person signs up til the event starts i'm going against him. If not...that's that.

**St.Paul Guy** · 09-23-2011, 02:10 PM

Oh what the heck. I've done so many of these in a row that I can't even watch Bellator unless I get to cheer for the guys I picked.

I volunteer to play Limba. May Sherdog fight finder smile upon you this Saturday.
