This is going to be a busy month fellas.  This is also the first event in which I'll employ a cut.  In an effort to keep as many as you involved as possible the cut will be 4 correct picks.  By keeping the cut low, many of you late joiners will have an excellent chance of staying in the pool while those of you who aren't playing consistantly will be eliminated.  This will also eliminate the problem I have regarding people still joining.  In other words, after this week nobody will be able to join.  Keep in mind that I won't have a cut every week as I plan on continuing the pool till New Years next year at which point we'll crown our resident champ.  And don't ask when the next cut will be cause at this point I haven't figured that out yet.

Below is the main card for 109 and as many of you requested, we're back to picking 5 fights.  I've forgotten to mention this till now but in the result of an injury or opponent change, the fight will be stricken from the pool.  Pick away Maniacs and remember, once you've posted your picks, they're locked in.  No changes!!!  Good luck and have fun!!!

 Reminder - If you do not have four correct picks OVERALL after this event...your out.
