    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, 116-112, 115-112

    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 and the other is a draw e.g. 115-112, 115-112, 116-112, or 115-112, 115-112, 114-114. (A majority decision is scored as a close unanimous decision.)

    a disqualification or retirement will count as a stoppage win.

    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.

    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.

    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
