2012 kicks off a New Year, and those of you who like to test your predicting skills can get in at the start of the 2012 Season of Rummy's Challenge where we have weekly, monthly, and yearly competitions in which we track a a tremendous amount of useless data so you have multiple ways of comparing how you stack about against the Best ESB has to offer.

The scoring system is simple.

Just go to the thread and make your picks on these fights for the opening week:

The basic scoring rules are listed at the bottom of the post. There are also additional rules for bonus points, and I will happily address any questions anyone has regarding scoring and league play.

Here is a chart for the 2011 Year End standings:

RULES AND SCORING
----------------------------------
The Basic Scoring System will work as Follows:

8 points for correctly picking the winner
-5 points for picking the loser
(***Draws can be picked. Correct picks = +35, incorrect = -5)

If you properly pick DEC or KO/TKO you got an extra 2 points. (Bringing you to 10)

If you properly specify the type of decision (with SD, UD, MD, or TD) you got an extra 2.(Bringing you to 12--the maximum point total for picking a proper decision).

If you got the right round on a KO/TKO you got an extra 5 points (meaning 15 was the maximum you can get for picking the round of stoppage--there was no distinction between KO or TKO).

If anyone has any questions about the scoring system, feel free to ask. Oh, and also note, at random points throughout the year, I reserve the right to appoint certain fights as MEGA BOUTS. In such instances, the aforementioned point totals are doubled, across the board.

I just thought it might be a place where some new talent who was otherwise unaware of the league might be interested in joining!

No, that's cool and all...it's just that we've spent years trying to discourage people from creating non-vBookie threads in this part of the forum (with limited success

) and it kind of undermines that message to do so - even for a cause as worthy as the league!

Bajingo · 01-06-2012, 08:21 PM

I knew even before I opened this that IB wouldn't be happy

blacktopbully · 01-06-2012, 11:46 PM

blacktopbully · 01-06-2012, 11:47 PM

Yeah, IB, we all respect and appreciate your personal contribution, but do you know what we have to do to get some MMA events up? Big 50/50 fights happen all the time in MMA, it seems like people are willing to do it but instead this section stagnates for months on end.
