NEW Aussie Boxing Tipping Comp

Lets get the next comp going.

Who will be the first 2 time winner :huh

 

I'm in this time, just need to know your rules, will start trawling the thread now or even better can someone pm them to me?

 

The system used to score fights will be the following, as voted by you:

* correct winner = 15
* correct winner + correct decision pick = 25
* correct winner + correct stoppage pick = 30

Decision picks:

* correct wide or close decision pick* = 30

Stoppage picks**:

* 3 rounds or less off correct stoppage round = 35
* 1 round off correct stoppage round = 40
* correct stoppage round = 45

Draw = 50 points

* a wide unanimous decision: a decision where all three judges score the fight for one fighter and two or more of the judges' scores are four points or more apart e.g. 116-112, 115-111, 116-111, etc.
* a close unanimous decision: a decision where all three judges score the fight for one fighter and two or more of the judges' scores are three points or less apart e.g. 115-112, 116-113, 114-112, etc. A split decision or a majority decision is scored as a close unanimous decision.

** a disqualification or retirement will count as a stoppage win.

Blue riband events - really big fights like Pavlik v. Taylor, Calzaghe v. Hopkins, etc. - will count for twice the points as usual big fights. Scores for those blue riband events get multiplied by two.

How to post your picks:

Please post your picks as follows: e.g.

"Calzaghe UD wide", if you think Calzaghe will win a unanimous decision over Kessler at a difference of points greater or equal to four points

"Calzaghe UD close", if you think Calzaghe will win a decision over Kessler at a difference of points smaller or equal to three points, a majority or split decision.

"Kessler T/KO 3", if you think Kessler will beat Calzaghe by stoppage, disqualification or retirement in the third round. Always pick a stoppage round when you make a pick!

"Calzaghe Draw Kessler" if you think the fight between Calzaghe and Kessler will end up a draw.

If you pick a stoppage - say what round!
If you pick a decision - say "wide" or "close"!



Joining late

Anyone can join the league at any time, even late. In order to give late starters a chance to compete fairly, they will start in the middle of the pack, at the median position, out of those who have participated every week.

Missing a week

If for some reason you miss a week and you are in the top 25 in the league, you will be allocated the median score for that week. Everyone has 3 lives (will be "saved" up to three times). This, to ensure top pickers are not demotivated by their failure to pick one week.

Clean sweep

A clean sweep system will be applied for weeks with 5 fights or more. The clean sweep bonus will be 20 points.

This is the format used for the competition in the general forum. We analysed all the best possible ways of scoring things, and this proved to be the easiest to tally, yet still gave as much possible room for movement on the table. It is fair for both knockout finishes and decision bouts, and places no emphasis either way.
