Let’s get to the week 1 line-up…
**** Remember you do not need to make a selection on every fight. If you are unfamiliar with any of the fighters, and don't want to risk points, you are free to PASS on any pick. You must make at least one selection to receive the 10 point participation bonus****

1. Nishioka to win – risk 10 points to win 4.
2. Munroe to win – risk 4 points to win 10.
B. Method of victory - Toshiaki Nishioka vs Rendall Munroe (technical decision counts as decision, DQ counts as stoppage)
1. Nishioka by stoppage – risk 1.5 to win 5.
2. Nishioka by decision – risk 4 to win 5.
3. Munroe by stoppage – risk 1 to win 6.
4. Munroe by decision – risk 1 to win 6.

2. No, it will end early – risk 5 points to win 4.
D. Roman Gonzalez vs Francisco Rosas - Will Rosas win at least 11 combined rounds on the 3 official scorecards (a knockout loss automatically counts as no)? (Saturday, October 23)

Please fill out your selections as follows:
Enter the LETTER of the fight first, then whether it’s a double (2) or single (1) followed by the NUMBER of your pick and the NAME of the FIGHTER and METHOD of victory (where applicable).
For Selection A, if you want to use one of your doubles on Nishioka to win...
A. (2) – 1 – Nishioka
For Selection B, if you wanted to use a triple on Munroe by decision, you would enter...
B. (3) – 4 – Munroe by decision
For Selection C, if you wish to make a pick on Linares/Chavez not going the distance without using a double or triple...

Can i make a change to one of my picks please?
I was gonna hedge my bets on the Munroe fight anyway but didn’t think it was worth it.
However,having noticed how Brickhaus has shrewdly played the odds,i would like to go:
B. (3) – 4 – Munroe by decision.
Yeesh

By the way, is there any way of getting reminders for this? I have a habbit of starting games like these and forgetting after a few weeks.

"I ain't gonna lie. I was scared when I first got here. Home of the Damned. Hell on Earth they called it. But the fear was only temporary. I knew the only way for me to survive was for me to just be me. You see I come from a religious, church going family. Who didn't approve of my wicked ways. They washed there hands of me at 12 years old. Called me the devil himself. Now tell me. If the devil can't survive in hell, than who can?"
