    I vote for it to be voided, there was no early morning warning so a lot of people got screwed here.

    There's too much of an impact on the Top 10 and all the facts weren't available to most of the guys regarding the start time. Usually when there's any kind of discrepancy involving a match its thrown out, this should be no exception.

    it should count
    no warnings or alerts should be given
    when you miss a pick
    deal with it
    we are growing men and not babys

    At the end of the day the fight has been on the schedule for ages now. If someone missed the fight that is their problem.

    A fair few people didn't miss it and made the pick. Most of those went for Joyi. trying to wrangle out on a technicality is bs.

    We survived for years without early warnings and it was never a problem.

    The fight stands.

    In your absence Pinoy added an early morning warning, well that match was held in the early morning, and there was no early morning warning, because he and several others didn't realize it was an early morning fight, and add to that most of the posters were exhausted from sitting up so late to catch Kovalev-Ward last night.

    The match should be scrapped.

    Another thing is it was highlighted in yellow to show it was a new addition, back on the 6th November.

    If it was purple people would complain it wasn't highlighted as a new addition.

    If people missed it's their problem imo.

    The pick stands.

    being exhausted of watching Ward - Kovalev is a bad excuse
    the fight was added on november 6
    there was plenty of time to pick on it
    this fight should stand
    you forgot to pick
    deal with it

    Even worse, CST did pick on time. He went for Joyi hence why he wants to void it!

    Sorry for those who incorrectly picked Joyi.it isn't the first wrong pick and it won't be the last.

    But I'm not voiding it as the 6th November left plenty of time for the pick to be made and the yellow highlight made it very clear it was a new pick.

    No void. The pick stands.

    Any issues just message me directly but that is the end of the issue for now on the thread.

    Thanks.

    Can you tell me if my pick was on time for the Joyi fight?

    Most of the top 10 picked Joyi (out of those that picked 5/6 picked Joyi) A loss is a loss to me IDC. But when almost half the top 10 misses it and in all likelihood dodge a bullet solely on the fact that they didn't pick in time. That's BS. I suggested it be voided before having any clue about the results FYI. The race is ultra close and the year is winding down. Gaining leverage for missing a pic is ultra lame however you spin it.... Especially when it's such an irrelevant fight.

    Quite frankly the match shouldn't have been added in the first place, its insignificant, no one knows who either of these guys are in the first place, and for the top 10 to take a hit like this, that could ultimately effect the overall, its not fair to them.

    We can only highlight fights one colour. yellow represents newly added. purple is a more recent addition.

    Everyone will have seen the fight scheduled, not everyone decided to pick. Some don't pick every fight especially in this divisions.

    We'll consider options for newly added early morning fights next year but for now the pick stands.

    No one complained when the fight was added.

    People only complain when they see an opportunity to scrap a defeat from their record.

    The pick stands.

    Excuse me, but who put you in charge? Pinoy makes that decision, the fight was early morning, it was not noted as being early morning, it should be scrapped.
