The New Brit Forum Fantasy Boxing League 2011/2012 - No More Entries

The new Brit Forum Fantasy Boxing League will kick off starting September.

I want to keep the rules for scoring and building a "team" as simple as possible, as this is the only way the league will survive and get regular updates.

Team selection can start immediately, although your boxers wont start scoring pts until 1st August.

------------------------------------------------------------

The Rules

-------------------------------------------------------------
Team Selection

To enter a team, you need to pick 5 boxers (worldwide), using the categories below

Prospect A: Must have had no more than 10 fights, and not challenged for any title i.e domestic, minor ABC (intercontinental etc), euro or world

Prospect B: Must have had no more than 20 fights. May hold or have held a domestic (e.g. British or Commonwealth) or minor ABC title

Contender A: Any boxer who has not held or challenged for any world title including interim or WBA regular belts

Contender B: Any boxer who currently does not hold a full world title belt. i.e can be an interim or WBA "regular" belt holder (where a WBA super champion exists)

Champion: Can hold one (or more) of the main 4 belts

Your team cannot exactly match another participants team. Please do not edit your post containing the team selection as I need to use the date/time to see who came up with a combination of boxers first.
If you want to change your team, make a new post.
You can change your team as often as you want until 31st August.

The league will run from 1st August 2011 until 30th July 2012. I will record every boxer chosen in a team, and put out an update once a month.

Scoring System:

Points will be awarded from each of the categories below:

Base scoring system:
3 or 4 rounder: 1pt for win, extra 1 pt for stoppage
6 rounder: 2pts for win, extra 1 pt for stoppage
8 rounder: 3pts for win, extra 2 pts for stoppage
10 rounder: 5 pts for win, extra 3 pts for stoppage
12 rounder: 8 pts for win, extra 4 pts for stoppage

Title Fight Pts (following pts are for both title challenges and defences):
Domestic/minor title fight (e.g. British, Commonwealth, inter-alphabetty of one of the main 4 organisations): + 1pt for taking part, extra 2pts for winning
Prizefighter: +3pts for winning
European title fight: + 2pts for taking part, extra 3 pts for winning
Final Eliminator fight for one of the main 4 organisations Or an interim belt Or regular WBA title (if super champ exists): + 3 pts for taking part, extra 4 pts for winning
World title fight for one of the main 4 belts: +4pts for taking part, extra 6 pts for winning
Unification title fight (2 belts on the line): +6pts for taking part, extra 9 pts for winning
Unification title fight (3 belts on the line): +8pts for taking part, extra 12 pts for winning
Unification title fight (4 belts on the line): +12pts for taking part, extra 18 pts for winning

To clarify, a unification fight is only counted as such if both fighters hold belts and all are on the line. A unified champion defending against an opponent with no belts will be treated as a standard world title fight.

Prestige Pts:
Top 10 P4P opponent (this will use The Ring P4P top ten at the time of fight): +10pts for fighting, extra 5 pts for winning
Winning a world title at a new weight (becoming a multiweight champion): +10pts


-------------------------------------------------

 

No problem. God forbid the league ended unexpectedly and someone randomly declared champion.

 

Ok, I've edited the OP to clarify contender B. Your choice cannot be someone who is the sole holder of the WBA title. You can only pick the holder of the regular WBA title if a "super champion" exists for that weight class.

 

Ward does not qualify as Contender B.

I didnt however consider the diamond weight title - i thought that had been brought in specially for catchweights but i see its the WBC Middleweight Diamond world title? wtf is that about?

I need consensus about this - can we treat a diamond title where it exists as the equivalent of the WBA super title? i.e. if it exists, treat the holder as the WBC world champ, and the regular WBC belt holder will be the equivalent of an interim champ? :think
