~ ESB's BIG FIGHT PICKS ~ back with Peter-Vitali and Tarver-Dawson!!

Hey guys, I know it seems like this league has been gone for a while, but the only week that was missed was the Mosley-Mayorga one. The scores are finally counted up, sorry for the delay. Bolieu_mtl has done amazingly well during the last month and he has almost caught up to northend, something that seemed almost impossible for anyone to do not long ago. We've got two big, exciting fights this week on Showtime, so please vote on whether you think they should be blue riband events or not. A lot of people have left the forum or stopped giving picks, so that is why the name list is so short now. The league will continue until the end of 2008.. the last week will most likely be December 13th.

• 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.

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.

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

If, by common consensus, a clear robbery might have occured, a review panel made up of kg0208, sean, McGrain and sues2nd will decide whether the result should be overruled for the purposes of our league. Unless they all agree unanimously that it was a robbery, we go by official results.

Good luck! :good


One other thing.. we are already in the second half of 2008, if you're not in the league, sorry, but it's too late to join.

Also, please vote on whether you think these fights should be blue riband events (worth twice as many points as regular fights). Later!

 

Hey Decebal, still don't have time to help run this league which you started? What happened to your private league? **** off. :good

I'm still learning and improving my picking abilities.. feel like I've actually improved significantly in the last few months. And you're still an annoying, sneaky, ultra-sensitive hype battler who seems more obsessed with silly **** than actually watching boxing.
