Buy-In:
-
$50 entry fee.
-
A $3 fee from each entry goes to cover administrative and extra fees.
Game Format:
-
You will pick fighters from every UFC card.
-
Each player starts with three lives.
-
Picks must be sent to me via private message before the first fight of the card — no excuses.
Lives and Eliminations:
-
If you lose a pick, you lose a life:
-
Lose one pick → start next card with two lives.
-
Lose two picks → start next card with one life.
-
-
Once you lose all your lives, you are eliminated.
-
The goal is to be the last one standing.
Bonus Lives (Underdogs):
-
+150 or better underdog win = +1 life.
-
+300 or better underdog win = +2 lives.
-
Only odds from the following sportsbooks are allowed:
[Bovada, BetOnline, MyBookie, DraftKings, FanDuel] — available at https://fightodds.io/ -
If you lock in an underdog (+150 or better) from Friday of fight week onward, you keep that extra life chance even if the odds move later.
Late-Game Rules:
-
When 10 players remain:
-
Only fighters -500 or below are eligible, using BetOnline odds on fight day.
-
-
When 5 players remain:
-
Only fighters -300 or below are eligible, again using BetOnline odds.
-
Special Situations:
-
No Eliminations in a Week:
-
The following card, you must either:
-
Pick a fighter + method (ITD or Decision). You must get both right to keep your life.
-
OR pick a fighter at +110 or better (but no bonus life unless +150 or better).
-
-
-
No Contest or Draw:
-
If your pick results in a no-contest or draw, you must pick an underdog (+money) on the next card (odds from 5Dimes).
-
-
Fight Cancellation Mid-Card:
-
If your fighter’s match gets canceled mid-event, you must quickly pick a replacement.
-
If you fail to pick a replacement, you automatically get the main event favorite.
-
If you send backup picks prior to the card, I will pick from those
-
Final Two Players:
-
It’s first-come, first-served — once a fighter is locked in, the other player cannot pick the same fighter.
Other Notes:
-
Winning the Season:
-
If you are the sole survivor, you will start the next season with an extra life.
-
-
No more splitting the pot. There must be one winner.
