Hey everyone,

I’m happy to announce another season of The Ultimate Fighter-DFS Edition. Seasons 1 and 2 were a big success, and we’re hitting the sweet spot of the MMA season in November and December, so I feel like it’s a great time to launch Season 3.

We will start this tournament for UFC 205 on November 12, and end with UFC 207 on December 30. On top of the prize pool, I’ve decided to add (2) free weeks of MMA Premium to 1st place, and (1) free week of MMA Premium to 2nd and 3rd place.

You can check out details from the past seasons below:

Season 1: https://rotogrinders.com/threads/the-ultimate-fighter-dfs-edition-official-thread-620010?page=4

Season 2: https://rotogrinders.com/threads/the-ultimate-fighter-season-2-dfs-edition-927266?page=4

This contest is loosely based around the reality TV show, The Ultimate Fighter, and it’s a two-month long survivor tournament. Last season, we set the entry fee at $20 and I’m sticking with that for Season 3.

CONTEST STRUCTURE

This will be a seven-week survivor tournament that eliminates a small number of entrants each time. Payout is TBD but we will pay out to the top three places (last season was 240/160/80).

Total Prize Pool: 24x$20= $480

1st- $240 + 2 free weeks of MMA Premium
2nd- $160 + 1 free week of MMA Premium
3rd- $80 + 1 free week of MMA Premium

Tiebreaking Procedure

In the schedule, I will list the number of people who enter and advance each week. IF YOU TIE for the place of advancement, you will advance. That means in Episode 1, if 20 people are scheduled to advance, and 3 players happen to tie for 20th place, they will all advance and enter Episode 2.

If there is a tie in the finale, we will continue to play a h2h or 3-man game until a winner is determined. If there is a tie for 2nd and 3rd place in the finale, I will award them a split of 2nd and 3rd place money.

Immunity:

The winners of episode 1 and 2 will be granted immunity for the following episode. This means the winner of episode 1 will be safe from elimination during episode 2. The winner of episode 2 will be safe from elimination during episode 3.

If there is a tie for first place, immunity will not be granted. There must be an outright winner to earn immunity.

Thanks!

Money sent

Budbrew

I’m closing sign ups and working with the last couple unofficials

I’ve updated the prize pool and contest structure, I will be sending out a private contest tonight or tomorrow! Keep checking here for updates!

UPDATE

I’ve sent everyone an invitation to the the first contest. I am also leaving the potential for one more person to join, since the contest lets you select 25 and we have 24..

If we do get one more person to join I will notify everyone here, and update the prize pool and contest settings. 20 will still advance out of episode 1 regardless.

If you have any trouble getting into the contest or don’t have an invite, please message me!

I received invitations to four different contests! I just entered all of them to be safe.

It should only be one contest, that’s all I’m seeing on my end. Apologies for the mass invitations, someone had (might still have) a blocker on me so the invites (I thought) weren’t getting through originally.

A Quick FYI

I’ve only created one contest, there’s currently 15/25 people in it. The contest has an id of 32033109 for anyone who is curious.

Good luck everyone. I hope someone from RG wins it :p lol

If you still need or want one to join let me know and I’ll send money right away. If not that’s okay this is the first time I’ve seen this.

dorfman10

I’ve given dorfman10 the last spot, he reached out to me earlier.

baggerly, thanks for your interest, if you like I can keep you as an alternative in case someone drops out in the next day or two.

Adjusting payouts now.

Yeah that sounds good. I’ll be on the lookout for the next edition.

I got four invites also. I joined them all to be safe. I see 21 of 25
