Rattlesnakes - 11 Anarchy - 12 Rocketmen - 7 Sandmen - 7 Byron- 11 GAP - 1 +5 Anarchy (GP, SF Belt, Prediction) Since Anarchy is not allowed to hoard all the points like an asshole, we'll go +1 everyone who predicted again. Can I count xx - Team GAP's predictions for this? I don't think so. Like...that's not really a meaningful prediction. He would not be eligible for our bonus for getting 0 correct with that prediction, so I kinda don't think it should count as a prediction for our purposes here. And predicting without listing a single fighter is not really a precedent we want to reward for these "points for all" type bonuses, so I think we have to pass him over Anyone feel otherwise?

Congrats to Sons of Anarchy on the win! True underdog story there. Congrats to xx - Team GAP on a great season, and putting up a great fight. The finals couldn't have been any better.

Disappointed. I thought I had a really great chance at winning. Cant believe that Aldo, Rampage and JDS couldnt get a Win... really let the team down.
Team GAP wishes to congratulate the Sons of Anarchy for winning the GP.

This was a great GP! Congrats to Carmouche, Griffin, Frye, GAP, SoA, and Bulldozers. Ducks is too strange for a congrats. Maybe a soft handshake, and a polite nod? Anyway, seriously, great work every, and a great close to a perfectly reasonable season.

We’re never going to win ffs This is how I feel too... but I'm trying to stay positive.. btw Sandmen... I don't care if you give me a point or not for my "prediction" I gave my prediction but as you know I have a difficult time with doing proper predictions since I use my phone to communicate on this site. I honestly wasn't expecting anything but if you want to recognize my difficulties sometimes and throw me a bone every once and awhile i'm cool with that.

GAP deserves the point if nothing but having a very solid GP and being an active participant on the site throughout the tournament.

I don't disagree...but we do have like, 4 different voted-on-awards where this can also be rewarded. The bonus points for predicting are typically to encourage people to predict. I'm not sure rewarding "IMma gonna winna y'all!" will get more people predicting. Perhaps the opposite? "If he gets points for writing gibberish, why should I predict, I never win anyway, so ill just write gibberish"?

I'd like to personally nominate xx - Team GAP for Member of the Year. He's had a fantastic season all year, and was consistently a top four team and the GP runner up, but I can't help but nominate Sons of Anarchy for Team of the Year after that underdog story. But both of them deserve votes.
