~ ESB's BIG FIGHT PICKS ~ Back with Witter vs Bradley ~

Hey everyone, the league is back with one fight this week. Sorry, I still didn't have time to add up all the scores. Next week should have a lot of fights and I can guarantee that the scores will be up.

A split decision: a decision where two judges score the fight for one fighter and the other one - for the other fighter e.g. 115-112, 112-115, 114-113. A split decision should be picked together with a draw: pick "SD/Draw" when you think a fight is truly 50/50 and could go either way. However, if you think A has the slightest edge over B, pick "A UD close".

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 brooklyn1550, 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

 

Yeah, you're probably right. I'll count up the scores this week and next time I do a league, I'll have all the names on an excel file, where I could get scores counted up very quickly. People usually lose interest when scores aren't put up, but this league is a bit of a different situation. Decebal promoted the hell out of it and people seem to be committed to it.
