Event Pool XII - UFC 178: Johnson vs. Cariaso

I just did a quick check...

Bill Waugh would be the sole winner in 1st place with 6-0, and 5 players would be tied for 2nd place with 5-1.

So if the Kennedy/Romero result is overturned... the winners tonight get to keep their virtual cash, the other additional players tied for 2nd place will get paid whatever the 1st place winners tonight get paid... and Bill Waugh would then have to be compensated for his perfect picks, and I'll make that 2,000 should things change.

If the result isn't contested, I'll throw the 1st place winners tonight an additional 1,000 Chat Cash for their perfect picks.

So right now, it's looking like the 1st Place prize award is going to be 5,000 Chat Cash, and the 3rd Place prize award will be 1,000 Chat Cash... normally those award amounts would be split between the winners as described in the rules, but since it's only virtual cash I've been paying out the winners whatever the combined totals are in whole since it's easier to pay things out that way.

BTW guys... this virtual cash (Chat Cash) can be used to make personal wagers between members in the "Personal Wagers Thread" :

Just announced t.j vs Cruz is the next title fight.

According to the crew on the post fight show, the result of the Kennedy/Romero fight is going to be reviewed.

With that performance, it's warranted... I think we all agreed to that on the predictions show.

DFW said that issue with Romero's corner is the dirtiest trick in the book... and it was very controversial.

Dirty, but enough to overturn it? I don't think so. The ref is in the position to make the call.

The thought being expressed is that if a fighter doesn't answer the bell at the beginning of the round... he loses the fight because he wasn't able to continue.

At he very least, the fight should be overturned to a NC... especially since the crew on the post fight show said the delay was 30 seconds between the start of the round and when Romero was ready to fight.

I agree with that, but the ref is supposed to call it. He didn't. That is on Big John.
