Well, that was a strange night of fights. After a long string of exciting events we were treated to a maincard that featured Pro Elite heavyweight level cardio and a bunch of dudes hugging interspersed with bits of fighting here and there.
Note that the scores have changed from the ones that were published just after the event as Weidman's split decision win was converted into a unanimous one. This would end up having huge implications as the overall individual leader changed because of it while a different team ended up in first place for the event.
The BE camp heavily favoured Roop (87%), Roller (86%) and Beltran (82%) and as a result, only three teams avoided setting a new season-low record. The camp average was a measly 42.6 points, worse than UFC 142 (43.5) though not quite as bad as UFC 140 (40.2) and the TUF 14 Finale card (41.2). DiazHomiez' camp-high score of 74 was 20 points from the top score on Playground and even our beloved Juggalo, Seth Smiley, failed to produce a standout score.
As usual, I will update this FanPost with new stats and graphs as I finish them. Thanks to the spreadsheet-to-html code converter I found on the net there'll be plenty of tables this time around, so I'm introducing a table of contents to hopefully make it seem like this isn't a total clusterfuck of borderline-autistic vomit.

A great performance from captain hyundai moves him into first place. Tats16 makes the top three while DiazHomiez and Luke Nelson's top 2 event scores move them into the top 10. Ironically, DiazHomiez had picked Weidman by split decision and must've thought he'd made the best single pick all season. Had the verdict remained split, pistonhyundai would have had 4 points less and DiazHomiez 4 points more - in other words, DiazHomiez would have been in first place.
The biggest movers were afrotikighosn who jumped into the top half at 40th and is beginning to justify his second round pick status and EmptyThoughts who made it to 52nd place with a score of 57. Both guys improved by an impressive 24 places. Also, we should honour Bertha who is quietly having a very good season and jumped into the top third at 34th, a gain of 19 places.

The Chumps were one of four teams that were separated by just 7 points, scoring a respectable 442. If SethSmiley had kept up his remarkable start to the season they would have finished in the top 3, but in the absence of really high scores, their hopes of cutting the lead at the top suffered another blow.

DiazHomiez has come to pick, y'know. Another outstanding score from him combined with a very good score from Bertha were almost cancelled out by disappointing scores from IRodC, SteveevaD and duck meaning the Sleepers had to settle for 5th place.

A lot of good scores, a few bad scores and no really outstanding scores sees the Bus Feeders claim 4th place. av1o3 is having a really good season and an impressive 7 players have now scored above the camp average, but once again the lack of outstanding performers has stopped the Bus Feeders from really making waves.

Hands down the most impressive score by any team as The Reccing Machines defied odds by placing 2nd despite nitecastle missing picks for a second straight week. If nitecastle had put up an event-average 41 points, the Filipinos would have placed first. Even without him, they actually placed first until a recount showed that Chris Weidman's victory was unanimous rather than split.

My score sucked and almost didn't count, but thanks to an outstanding performance from Luke Nelson and a lot of very solid scores, INEPT finished first for the third time. It was a low-scoring event so not a lot of damage was done, but c'mon guys, this is too easy!
2b. Overall team scores
| Rank | Team | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | INEPT | 2353 |
| 2 | The Filipino Reccing Machines | 2230 |
| 3 | Cecil People's Champs | 2215 |

| 8 | Trainyard Sleepers | 2111 |
| 9 | Ruining Your Special Night | 2082 |
| 10 | Luke Thomas' Beard | 1995 |
The only change sees the Champs drop from 2nd to 3rd. The battle for 2nd place should prove exciting over the next couple of events while the Pest Control barely managed to stay ahead of the Trainyard Sleepers.
2c. Graphs!
As you can see below, very little has changed.
In order to get a better idea of how the standings have developed, take a look at the following graph which displays how many points each team is from first place:
On display: the motion sickness-inducing slide of Luke Thomas' Beard, the tight battle for 2nd place and the relatively small impact UFC on Fox 2 had overall.

Ladies and gentlemen, dribblebib has done it! With another great score combined with SethSmiley's first subpar score, the lead has changed.
4. What a difference a season makes
Before the draft, I created a set of power rankings in the hopes of securing the best team possible. The following stats are based on the difference between last season's performance and the first four events of season two. To be eligible for the list, a player must have picked more than two season 1 events. Participation in season 1 of the civil war is not required.
The different numbers in the tables represent the following:
S1 Rank: Season 1 rank out of the 80 players
#: Number of events picked in the first season
S1 D: Total deviation from the average score in season 1
S2 Rank: Season 2 rank out of the 80 players
S1-S2: The difference in rank between season 1 and season 2
S2 D: Total deviation from the average score in season 2
D Diff: Difference in deviation from the average score from season 1 to season 2
4a. Biggest improvements
| Name | S1 Rank | # | S1 D | S2 Rank | S1-S2 | S2 D | D Diff | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | mlzybaby | 77 | 9 | -9,30 | 10 | 67 | 10,91 | 20,21 |
| 2 | pistonhyundai | 56 | 5 | -2,98 | 1 | 55 | 16,91 | 19,89 |
| 3 | sday420 | 66 | 10 | -6,29 | 7 | 59 | 12,91 | 19,19 |

| 5 | IKilled007 | 78 | 10 | -10,09 | 25 | 53 | 6,41 | 16,49 |

| 10 | HurricaneHeron | 75 | 10 | -9,29 | 33 | 42 | 3,16 | 12,44 |
Some incredible improvements from last season, led by 10th ranked mlzybaby who has surprised everyone with the possible exception of his captain who happens to be ranked 1st overall and comes in second on this list. Completing the top 3 is ANOTHER member of the Filipino Reccing Machines, sday420. Also, props must go to halitosis and Tats16 who have turned solid season 1 scores into outstanding season 2 scores.
4b. Biggest drop-offs
| Name | S1 Rank | # | S1 D | S2 Rank | S1-S2 | S2 D | D Diff | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TomFlynn | 28 | 10 | 2,31 | 79 | -51 | -18,84 | -21,16 |
| 2 | zakkree | 10 | 10 | 7,01 | 67 | -57 | -5,34 | -12,36 |
| 3 | lanky6 | 2 | 10 | 12,51 | 42 | -40 | 0,91 | -11,61 |
| 4 | DreamingofFighting | 58 | 9 | -3,52 | 78 | -20 | -14,34 | -10,82 |
| 5 | StevenGiles | 36 | 10 | 1,01 | 73 | -37 | -9,34 | -10,36 |
| 6 | crazybones | 1 | 10 | 17,41 | 19 | -18 | 7,91 | -9,51 |
| 7 | SteveevaD | 32 | 10 | 1,81 | 70 | -38 | -6,34 | -8,16 |
| 8 | pridedaze09 | 34 | 10 | 1,31 | 70 | -36 | -6,34 | -7,66 |
| 9 | Manch1ld | 8 | 10 | 7,41 | 45 | -37 | -0,09 | -7,51 |
| 10 | bonesthebaptist | 36 | 10 | 1,01 | 69 | -33 | -6,09 | -7,11 |
TomFlynn had a good first season but hasn't been able to get going this season. Zachary has steadied the ship with two slightly above average performances, but he has still had a terrible second season by his standards. The same goes for lanky6 who had just one below average score during all of season 1. Also making the list is crazybones who is a victim of his own success, having torn through season 1 with remarkable scores and finding himself unable to replicate his stellar scores.
5. Overachievers
This table is obviously similar to the "Biggest improvements" table in that the ones that have improved are the same ones that were picked late and are overachieving. This list includes rookies and almost-rookies as well, though, and better answers the question "who was the steal of the draft?"
| Rank | Draft pick | Name | Score | Overall rank | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 90 | diazhomiez | 267 | 4 | +86 |

| 19 | 29 | LukeNelson | 264 | 6 | +23 |
| 20 | 24 | Tats | 270 | 3 | +21 |
With his camp-high UFC on Fox 2 performance, DiazHomiez has leapt into first place. Congrats to mlzybaby, Monte Fisto, Luke Nelson and Tats16 who made the list despite being picked in the first half of the draft.
6. Captain table
| Rank | Name | Score | Overall rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | pistonhyundai | 274 | 1 |
| 2 | wonderfulspam | 235 | 26 |
| 3 | Kaleb Kelchner | 218 | 40 |

| 8 | inthepipes | 191 | 78 |
| 9 | zakkree | 185 | 88 |
| 10 | krcampbell | 173 | 95 |
No surprises as pistonhyundai expands his lead at the top. MDE is barely above average while six captains are performing below average, krcampbell being way below.
Ad. 1. Still to come, feedback and various notes
I'm thinking we should have a proper half-season recap after Diaz vs Condit, meaning half-season awards for best rookie, MVP, best & worst captain (based on team performance, hype & trash talk, no. of overperforming players, consistency, etc.), most inconsistent player, and whatever you can come up with.
