* = you've missed posting a pick! If you miss a second posting, I'll assume you've lost interest and no longer wish to be included in the League!

To those who are struggling, please up your game. No one who is taking part in this league should score less than 15 points/fight, on average. Anyone (including me) who scores a total of less than 15/fight after 12 rounds will no longer be included in the League, even if they themselves have only picked less than 12 times, e.g. because they started late or missed a week. Tough, but fair - plenty of warning and time to shine too.

After we go 15 rounds, the 3 pickers with the lowest weekly average will be dropped. After another 3 rounds, yet another 3 pickers will be dropped and so on, until we are left with the 7 best pickers. The League will continue for another 7 rounds and then the winner will be announced.

Good news for those with one life left - after 12 rounds, you win back the extra life you've used up.

Good luck this weekend, everyone!

RULES:

Everyone gets two lives. If you miss a pick; you lose one. If you miss yet another pick you lose your last life and you are out of the league.

The system used to score fights will be the following:

This content is protected

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

Decision picks:

correct wide or close decision pick* = 30

Stoppage picks**:

1 round off correct stoppage round = 30
correct stoppage round = 35

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.

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.

I could put those in and calculate your score by the old scoring rate, but you'd lose the benefit of the additional points given for correct "close"/"wide" UD picks, and for correct round stoppage, etc..which you didn't have the benefit of picking.

...this is why I didn't do it in the first place... (it would be unfair to you)

The competition will rate pickers according to average points/fight anyway...so...it might not be beneficial to you if this change is made...but if you want me to do it, I will.
