DavyJones Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'll take existing scores off the regular pick'ems that other people are creating (I wont be creating the pick'ems myself, just mining the scores). The scores will be added up over 6 events and the overall winner will win the prize pool. The league will only consist of pay-per-views since those events are the most popular. Every 6 months there will be an overall winner for the league, the first season will be called PFL 1 PFL 1 will consist of 6 pay-per-view events starting with UFC 183 and ending with UFC 188. I'll rely on donations for a winner takes all prize pool. I'll post all donations here for transparency. I'll pitch in the first 100k myself.

DavyJones Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 All you have to do to participate is make picks in the regular pick'em threads. I'll take the scores from each event and transfer them to this thread. Easy peesy! I just need some prize pool donations for the eventual overall winner. Individual event prize pools will be up to the people who create them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyJones Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sure, every little bit helps. I figure the bigger the prize pool is the more people will want to participate in the pick'ems for their chance to win it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce7 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I tried this a few years back when I ran the Pick 'em events and it has a little interest, but guys continually forgot to make picks and a few guys quickly started to run away with it. That being said.........I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said.........I'm in. That's why I decided to only do pay-per-view events. People tend to pay a lot more attention to those because of the big name fights.

DavyJones Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 when is this starting The first pick'em I will take the scores from is UFC 183: Silva vs. Diaz (Jan 31, 2015) there isn't a pick'em thread available for this event yet but as soon as there is I will be sure to remind people about the league and let everyone know how much prize pool is up for grabs.

Deuce7 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm going to brainstorm a few ideas about how to "advertise" the pick 'em events to try and get more attention and action on them. Davy, I know you remember the days of having 25-30 people (if not more) participate every pick 'em and I want to bring those days back!!!

Davy, I know you remember the days of having 25-30 people (if not more) participate every pick 'em and I want to bring those days back!!! yea at one time we had a bunch going every pick -- getting a big enough win pot will probably help -- if it gets up to around 1 mill or more that would be sweet -- also if someone writes up an article on it and puts it in the newspaper might get to more people who miss or dont visit forums that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to try and get Mike to give a link or shout out in the WoC because I know there are a ton of guys that have participated in that and not submitted anything in the pick 'ems.

DavyJones Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks guys, the prize pool is now up to 570k. To save any confusion or mispayments after the season is over it's probably better to send the money to me and I'll pay the winner. I noted who has already paid me in the original post. If you would rather pay out your portion directly to the winner for whatever reason let me know and I'll note it in the OP. I want everything to do with the prize pool to be visible for everyone so the community can see exactly who's donating, who's paid, not paid, etc.. I'll be sure to spread the word about this more after the first pick em is posted (UFC 183 - Jan 31st) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
