Michel Soro KO

 

@nellybc @DanielDimov @moparfan
I can't see that rule either, however it is clearly in the spirit of the rules and I'm completely happy with that. Round 4 DanielDimov 10-9 KiwiMan it is, nice recovery from the KDs!

 

Yea i can't see the rule either , but in the mini tournament it was exactly this

I know. There are some other differences too, e.g. in the WBK if you both pick the wrong fighter it's a 10-10 round, whereas in crowning it was a win for whoever's prediction was closer.

I do think a panel of those interested in the WBK should look at updating the rules, simplifying and clarifying certain aspects such as this. Other things to consider are:

1. Whether we should change to a format more like Crowning, i.e. consider the results as a spectrum: Draw->SD->MD->UD close->UD wide->late KO->early KO, and:
a. the predictions are in three groups (SD/MD/TD, UDs, KOs). If you predict the correct group and your opponent does not, you win the round.
b. otherwise, whoever is closer wins 10-9 except for instant KOs;
c. all decisions are closer to other decisions than KOs/TKOs and DQs.

2. Handling of technical decisions and disqualifications. The former is always somewhat controversial, and the latter is not covered by the current rules as far as I can see. The league handles it as a KO/TKO, but do instant KOs occur from DQs?

3. Knockdowns: KO round missed by only 1, or opponent picks the wrong fighter while you pick the correct fighter. What if both occur? Is this a double KD round, or just a 10-8? Should exact predictions on UD close / UD wide be rewarded with knockdowns, seeing that exact SD/MD/Draw predictions are instant KOs? Should predictions of SD, result MD, or vice versa, get a knockdown instead of just 10-9?

4. It might be helpful for new competitors to have a summary of the ways to win by instant KO, which are, by my count: SD, MD, any kind of draw, exact KO round.

 

@CST80, are you willing to enlighten us on the Langford pick?

 

Yeah but PP is highly respected in terms of scoring so any fights he scores couldn't be considered a robbery by the masses on ESB.

 

Yeah, it's one he'll change soon.
