Ok how do I automate that in the spreadsheet?

But yeah since it's tiebreaker I was leaning towards just picking 2 out of the original 3 and not thinking about it anymore until it actually comes up at the end of the season.

Went with Luque and Penne for the POTN, since nobody picked Johns, and Dana had to be reminded about Gane.

Yes, Nasrat made it back to the US, barely.

I'd wait until after weigh-ins tomorrow to submit your choices, but do whatever you want.

Brut have you decided when the season is ending? When it gets into the final stretch I sometimes need to start strategizing my picks vs points (e.g. picking a favourite when the leader picks the same doesn't help me catch up, so I sometimes start hunting live underdogs)

The spreadsheet is 8 events long so uh, I don't really know if I duplicate one of the existing tabs if I can just add more to it or if that won't just work. UFC 266 was event #7.

I've had this problem in a similar Pick 'Em event at my work for each Tennis Slam. The problem gets compounded by the fact that each round there are fewer and fewer matches to choose, and we haven't really worked out how to solve it...

Yo, as it stands the season ends after UFC 267, but since there's another PPV the very next week this looks dumb as gently caress to me, should I:

A. Leave things as is (8 event season, 267 is the final one)
*B. Add one event (268)
*C. Add two events (the remaining PPVs for 2021)

*This depends on the spreadsheet cooperating with me trying to do this, if it breaks horribly I'll just revert and we'll stick with the 8.

Let me know what you think.

Kragger99

I would prefer to have 268 added, but only if it doesn't make a mess of the spreadsheet - though we may not know if it does until we do it. My reason is selfish as I need quite a few points to even have a shot at winning (lol, I ain't winning), but more importantly it makes me follow the event much closer as I have a little more vested interest in it.

Honestly I'll be fine with whatever decision is made - this is gravy on top of the GDT, but I don't ever what it to be a burden on anyone managing/organizing it all (and please take this as a huge thanks for doing this every season).

Do whatever is easiest for you, the person putting 99% of the effort into it. I'm fine with starting a new season next week or doing an extended one.
