I want any and all ideas you have for bonus point opportunities.
What do people think about something like on top of the 1 point for every prediction win, we also give out a point for every 2 predictions people participate in? Or something along those lines?
I want things that people can do, and I want things you guys have some control over, so it's not just a matter of waiting a week to get paid your points type thing. All while not oversaturating the points market.
Any other thoughts, ideas, feedback etc is appreciated.

- 1 point for every 10 points you spend, like a buy 10 get 1 free type thing?
- Predict how fights finish on top of who you think will win, and if you get the finish and round, an extra point.

Thoughts on this:
One main card fight (one fight that is listed in the top 5-7 fights booked on the card) is determined for each card as the "Golden Glove" or "Golden Ticket" fight.
When people predict, they can earn a point for winning the predictor (sometimes just for participating as we've seen). But a "Golden Glove/Ticket" fight requires you guess the actual finish and the round it finishes in.
Example: Overeem vs. Arlovski - Golden Ticket Fight
So on a Golden Glove/Ticket fight, you are picking:
The Winner. The Round. The Format.
Fighter. Round 2. KO/SUB/DEC
The odds of getting all, just from a probability factor is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/12 chance or an 8.3% chance of everyone earning a second predictor point.
It doesn't screw up the cards. And the fight can be just an interesting matchup etc, whatever.

Do we have suggestions that don't rely on predictions? I'm hoping to give people who believe they are unable to predict a chance to earn some points too?

Could also bring back fight camps but instead of sitting a fighter everyone can submit 1/2 fighters per weak to auto upgrade by 1 point?
So you work with your two point salary and you do a focus camp for 1 extra point on a fighter of your choosing weekly

giving the "Golden ticket" a try on ManMMA 3. ( So go try it, people!) This doesn't matter in the least, but the 8% is pretty far off. We have 5 round fights. And TECHNICALLY, a "draw" outcome makes the fighter choice 1/3. But the 1/5 for rounds is the biggest difference-maker, really. Also leaning towards doing something along the lines of this as well, but still have to discuss with the members of the team that handle points to make sure its not too messy (which it could be): - 1 point for every 10 points you spend, like a buy 10 get 1 free type thing? |

Maybe you could give points for performance bonuses

Maybe you could give points for performance bonuses We actually could do this now that I don't have a team. We didn't do it during Era 1 because I had a team and felt it would look bad when my team won points though performance bonuses. |

I actually love this idea, and if we do it, we should retro it to ManMMA 1 since we just started. |
