2018 Lineage and Records​

Want to challenge the champion? Just look at the champion's upcoming fight picks. If you feel a pick by the champion will be wrong, post your pick, and announce that you want to challenge for the title!

Rules:
- First come first serve on challenges issued
- No stacking of challenges
- Can not challenge a fight more than 7 days away
- If champions change their pick after challenge has been set, they forfeit their title and it goes to the challenger who then becomes the interim champion, to fight for the vacant title against the next challenger
- Only 1 challenge per day, although a champion can have unlimited defenses per day
- Anyone who loses or forfeits a title fight, must wait until 3 challenges occur before they can challenge again. If no one has challenged the champion,

This content is protected

(even those who have lost/forfeit/participated in the past 3 title fights) can challenge the day of the fight they are challenging (12AM est)
- The champion should try to place their picks as soon as they can, to give the field enough time to challenge their picks.

REGARDING NEW RULES FOR PICK CHANGES:

From my perspective, I can't see a rule change that would make things more fair for everyone.
I liked several of the suggestions, but ultimately can see arguments against each of them.

We have a few players who like to make all the picks (or at least a majority of them) in the beginning of the month. As the fight nears, or news about one of the fighters comes out, they may rethink their original pick and want to change. They might want to change from a KO to a UD, or change a KO round in the WBK. Either way, I feel like a 10-change limit would unfairly handicap them. It would force them to change their strategy, which is something I would like to try and avoid.

Same explanation as above

We will have to agree to disagree on the "beyond apparent the difference between the two". It would be a judgement call from someone on whether to "accept" the change based on an interpretation if the pick was "competition manipulating" or not. Too me it is not a clear black and white divide.

See 1st explanation

I agree that its a pain, but other players may change their pick based on a pre fight interview, or a same day weigh-in result, or a fighter's eyes during the ring walk, etc, etc. I would like to leave that option available for us all.

I feel like this unfairly punishes the players who may legitimately change their mind (for whatever reason) on a December fight.

I kinda like this one, but it could be difficult to enforce if someone were to edit their pick. If a post is edited, and I didn't see the original post, or subsequent edits, I would have to consult with a staff member to verify number of edits and whether those edits were made in a 24 hour window. I don't want to have to do that. Another reason to request that players DO NOT edit posts, instead please submit a new post.

I like this as well, but may be interpreted as unfair to the flip-floppers. Those 50-50 fights are hard to call! Someone may legit change their mind at the last minute.

I didn’t go through the entire 2018 thread or track suggestions throughout the year, but I tried to compile the suggestions stemming from the controversy at the end of the year. I am open to debate and since @kirk and @PinoyProdigy have not made a ruling yet, I figured I would give my opinion.

We used to have the 30-minute rule, and I believe amending the rule to “changes are allowed up until the opening bell” is an improvement. This gives us a pretty clear cut off time.

I considered offering a PM option for picks, where ideally I would have to publicly post the pick as soon as the bell rings. If I was unavailable, everyone would have to trust me that the pick was made on time. But, I strongly feel the PM option should ONLY be allowed for banned players, not pick changes. I want the picks for each player to be as transparent as possible so everyone can completely validate my calculations, and because of that I like the fact that everyone can see everyone’s picks.

I understand that seeing everyone’s picks makes it easy to copy or tactically switch to avoid losing a position, but I struggle to see a good way to fairly regulate changes in a way that improves the experience for all of us without completely overhauling the format of the league. We would have to load matches into a VBookie or Sportsbook type format, where a cut off time is established and picks are collected without publicly revealing who picked who until the event closes. The moderator of this format would not be allowed to participate in the league, and it just wouldn’t be the same experience as this league.

In closing, “Kirks Championships” is a GREAT prediction league and I am proud to be a part of it. We all need to agree to act like gentlemen, treat each other respectfully, and enjoy the ride!

Wach out we got.a badass over here!

 

Great post @Drinquor!

 

MAGRAMO KO

 

I'll challenge Chuck with my Magramo pick, if no one has challenged already.

As for a possible rule change regarding changing picks, I'm up for what @kirk has suggested but I also don't think a rule change is necessary. The league has done fine before and regarding similar situations in terms of changing picks to stay ahead in the past, I guess it all comes down to strategy and the individuals involved. When it was down to me and UTF a couple years back and it came down to the last fight of the year, I didn't even want the possibility of that happening so I let UTF take the first pick, which in turn decided my own pick. But I get it what everyone is saying....maybe a strict no changing policy for fights in the last week of competition?

 

Damn, i would have challenged him too but i lost the last challenge....Congrats to all Magramo backers, he did very well and deserved the stoppage. Good start to the new season!
