Damn Im the only 1 who voted for Randy?

Yep. I don't think he beats anyone in our top 10.

I'm the only guy that picked Munoz.

Well its nice to be the odd ball sometimes LOL.

I notice BJ wasn't included on the other tally. I kind of like that version better.

It might look better but it wasn't what the people voted.

Sorry guys, spent the day at the doctor getting IVs put me in and getting blood taken. Not fun. Thanks for the corrections Freak although like Wolf I'm not a fan of having a guy ranked in the top 10 in 2 of our divisions

Wolf you can copy these to blog whenever, just leave the points off obviously

No prob. I agree that a guy should only be ranked in 1 top 10 but we didn't set any guidelines, maybe next time. I hope you're alright. Did everything work out?

On the whole we did a good job. No major complaints.

Is there any reason we'd leave the points off?

I agree, better with the points.

Do whatever

A mod can just cut the rankings from here with the points and put them in the official topic.

alright ill do this today men

With the exception of HW, which is overweighted towards the Pride Fanboys favorite son, I think they came out very good.

I was just thinking no points because it just looks aesthetically weird to have the point totals next to each guy instead of just listing our rankings.

Also if two guys have the same point total whoever got the higher vote goes in front which is how I did it in the thread where I posted them.

I don't have a problem with fighters with equal points having a tie ranking. Ex #3 tie, #3 tie, then skip #4 and go to #5.

If the our votes show two guys having equal consideration to a position on the list, I am interested in knowing it.

If 10 guys rank one fighter either #4 or #5 in every single ranking and his point totals end up being equal to a fighter who was consistently ranked #6 aside from maybe 1 or 2 votes at #3 or #2 it, doesn't seem equitable to consider him the consensus higher ranked fighter. it would be outlier skewed. Something to consider.

I've never really seen credible rankings for any sport that had ties featured in them

Listing out our BW top 10 as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,9 just looks cheesedick to me
