    I try to stay out of the WBK business, but I think the "approve changes in the first 8 rounds" rule creates a conflict with the league rule. In the league, if someone posts a change to one of their picks, as long as it is before the fight starts, the change counts.

    Earlier this year, CST was in the first 8 rounds of a WBK match and he made a change before a fight started, but it was not approved by his opponent. He didn't use the "If this is approved" disclaimer, he just posted the changed pick. After the fight ended, he was able to claim that his change shouldn't count because it wasn't approved, and that league picks and WBK picks can not be different. Ultimately the change counted in the league, because changes to league picks do not require any approval, but it revealed a loophole.

    It hasn’t happened again, but you waiting on somebody to “approve” a change reminds me that the loophole exists. In my opinion, in order to close that loophole, I think the "approve changes" rule for WBK needs to be removed.

    You have to wait until 3 challenges have been made since your last challenge since you're not top 20 in the league rankings

    Duly noted... I do understand that league picks take priority!

    I believe it was added to stop last minute changes to beat the system.

    I will try and sort a workaround for Series 13.

    Thanks...

    I'll do the challenging with my Funeka pick if Jordan isn't allowed.

    It's close to a 50-50 fight IMHO, I expected more people to go for Funeka.

    I did.:ggg

    But then I buckled and switched, It's a possibility, but I have less confidence in that than I did going with Sor Rungvisai, Horn and Berchelt, which tells you all you need to know.:lol: At least I saw a pathway to victory for them, aside from a lucky punch, I can't visualize Indongo doing better than a MD, SD type decision, and that won't be nearly enough. He needs a 12-0 shutout to win.
