Guys, there were a LOT of errors for this event. Showdown and Castellammarese will have to go back through their spreadsheet to fix things on their end, as well as myself making corrections on my tracking spreadsheet.
The surprising part is that most of the mistakes were made by JFC veterans that should know better.
Some of it was unavoidable because of an admin error with Xavier Foupa-Pokam's name. In fact, I'm not even going to list those (Showdown and Cast, you'll want to check your spreadsheet to make sure you catch those errors). Beyond that, there were an abundance of misspellings, extra spaces, and fights submitted out of order that create extra work for myself and others. I was asked to post the errors on the forum for everyone to see.
Please, please, please be more careful going forward. There's a feature on computers called "copy and paste" that works really well to avoid these kinds of mistakes. Please use it.
Here is the list of those guilty...
Dublindevil83
- Predicted "Anthony MacDonald" instead of Jason MacDonald.
Mouthbuster
- Misspelled "Krzysztof Soszynski" and "Denis Kang".
Hopecrusher
- Extra space at the end of "Steve Cantwell".
Big_Boy
- Eight out of the twelve fight submitted out of order.
Gordon
- Misspelled "Cheick Kongo" and "Denis Kang".
Eisforenzo
- Placed a "-" between Chuck Liddell's first and last name which resulted in errors when the "text to column" feature was applied to your picks.
Koos
- Became extra descriptive by using Luis Cane's middle name in addition to his first and last name, and misspelled "Vinicius Magalhaes" (used Vinny).
Unspoken
- Extra space at the end of Sam Stout's name.
Tai_Mai_Shu
- Forgot the periods after T.J. Grant's initials.
rfe919
- Misspelled "Mauricio Rua".
Goze
- Forgot Mark Bocek's first name.
Hostile
- Misspelled "Nate Quarry".
Clockwerk
- Eight out of the twelve fight submitted out of order.
Noobtard
- Extra space at the end of Mark Bocek's name.
Daywork
- Four out of the twelve fight submitted out of order.
Whyamisotired
- Extra space at the end of Krzysztof Soszynski's name.
Ace23
- Misspelled "Eliot Marshall".
HustlerTSI
- Misspelled "Luis Cane" (I know most people spell it with a "z" at the end, but copy and paste would have prevented this error).
x1java99
- Misspelled "Luis Cane" (see explanation above) and put an extra space at the end of Matt Wiman's name.
mattandbenny
- Misspelled "Jason MacDonald".
RJCT
- Eight out of the twelve fight submitted out of order.
phoenix-mma
- Misspelled "Ryo Chonan".
EastLA_ALx
- Forgot the periods after T.J. Grant's initials.
Kubz
- Misspelled "Luis Cane" (see explanation above).

Sorry guys! If it would be easier I can resubmit with correct spellings.
I changed Kang last minute so that is my fault for misspelling. Not sure how I ended up with that k on the end of Kongo though!
My sincerest apologies!
:cry:

24 mistakes...
Sorry to anyone I am about to offend, but its really f---ing sad that showdown, castella, and doug put a ton of their time into this league and 24 people find the need to submit incorrect picks.
It takes very little time as 1 person to make the adjustment, but when they are having to make adjustments for everyone, thats just embarressing.
Its my opinion that if this continues and someone is willing to look over the spreadsheet each time and post the mistakes then once your name appears 3 times in a 6 months period you are suspended for 2 months.
I personally think you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Don't worry about resubmitting picks. We're correcting things on our end before the event begins.

this was my first fight and it looks like I didnt make any mistakes in submitting but what I did do was list the 1-12 in the wrong order as I had Silva @ 1!
I should of re-read the FAQ thread. I'm putting myself in a big hole before the fights even start. cmon Professor x with the upset!

I agree with Blue. This is the first time (that I am aware of) that I screwed up. My apologies again to Show, Cast, and Doug. It won't happen again.

I think publically getting on them will help to.

Yea, were gonna beat this dead horse til it comes back to life.
THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE 100% ACCURACY IS TO
COPY AND PASTE!!!!
We put the matchups on the signup thread. All you have to do is copy it from there and then paste the entire thing into your outgoing PM message.
Then...... You go through and delete the name of the fighter you dont want. Thats all it takes. For you 1st time felons, no biggie, we all make mistakes. Just dont let it happen again :x For anyone on that list that has done this before, please correct it by using this great tool of
COPY and PASTE!!!

Sorry Show, I initially had Ryo before I changed it the very last minute I sent it in.

What is all this copy and paste talk about?
I've never heard of it.
Is it hard?
Can anyone do it?
Is it easier than searching for the fighters birth certificates like I do to find out the proper spelling?

With the right practice, you can even launch a career in mixed martial arts journalism.

Repetitions and dedication, my friend. Repetitions and dedication.
