NEW Prediction League: ~ ESB's BIG FIGHT PICKS ~ Pavlik v Taylor & MORE! Please JOIN!

Yes.

We'll always go by the official judge's decision, fair or not, robbery or not. We'll take the good with the bad. :good

 

Results:

Pavlik wide UD; Valuev wide UD; Mijares close UD, Montiel KO4.

Pavlik v. Taylor was considered a "blue-ribbon event" and counted for twice the points, as has been known from the very beginning.

This week, because I didn't want to penalise anyone for picking one way of scoring over another, a system of scoring not having been finalised, I accepted 116-112 as qualifying as close UD in the case of Mijares. Also, because when posters picked winners, they didn't think the clean sweep would be in place, I didn't include the clean sweep. I will start a vote to decide how many points the clean sweep should add to the total and whether we should indeed have one; it seems some posters are strongly against it and some strongly in favour. A vote should sort it out once and for all.

Would you please check that I haven't left you out or got your score wrong? If I have, please resond in this thread!:good

So...to sweep clean or not to clean sweep?:!:

 

I think we should allow anyone who wants to join but couldn't join when this league started a fair crack at getting to the top. Assuming that any newcomer is on average average , they should be classed in the middle of the field, from where they can climb or fall. If they started on 0 points after a couple of months, it would take them years to reach the top, no matter how good they were - the difference would be too big.

A things stand, within a couple of weeks of starting, newcomer will "find their level" in the league anyway...this league doesn't need to end at the end of the year...it can go on and on and on...so it won't matter if for two three weeks a newcomer is ahead of you. You are competing with the rest of the field more than with the odd newcomer who comes along.

 

Trust me...the difference between your score and Asterion's score is pretty small, if you look at the number of extra points per fight...it's no big deal. Anyone can be top within a couple of weeks with up to 100 points on offer for the "blue-ribbon" fights and 50 - for regular big fights...
