Therefore it can't be limited to people giving their forum name as many won't have one. Besides, if someone is making numberous e-mail addresses to cheat, they could just as easily use them to make a bunch of accounts on the forum anyway.</p><p> </p><p> If you meant they should give their real name, I can't see how that'd help given that anyone who is low enough to cheat is hardly going to draw the line at making up a bunch of fake names too.</p><p> </p><p> Ultimately we're doing the competition because we thought it'd be a fun way to get people interested. It'd be pretty depressing if there were people greedy enough to spend a lot of time trying to cheat the system, and we'd probably cancel the competition entirely if endemic cheating was obviously happening, meaning everyone loses out.</p>

<p>Yeah, that's fair enough.</p><p>

Was just trying to point out something that I'm sure you were already aware of.</p><p>

I appreciate the work you guys put into these games and that you run contests like this one.</p><p>

Looking forward to participating (once <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ). Happy holidays!</p>

<p>Well the time I chose was way off. I hate to admit this but I sat down and actually analyzed each fighter's career fight times and averaged them out and added about a minute to each average. I was still about ten or fifteen minutes off...<img alt=":mad:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

The things I will do for free stuff...<img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I picked a winner for each fight, then averaged their winning fight times, I just cut out all the non-UFC fights because I'm not that crazy as you, BHK! <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> I'm about thirty minutes off, which is kinda embarrassing on a five-fight card. <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> One could have just picked 85:00 (the maximum fight time possible) and you might have a very good chance of winning the contest.</p><p> So, all that analyzing and number-crunching was for nothing. <img alt=":(" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I was able to guess within 2.30 minutes <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />:)<img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Well, you win some and you lose some. I definitely lost this contest by far <img alt=":o" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
