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

I totally agree with this - after all if some poor ******* has to put up with a career wrecking decision, why should some dip**** in a prediction league be allowed to complain?

But you might consider - long term - a sort of judicial review panel for fights which have the appearance of robbery. I'm not talking about close fights with loads of close rounds that could have gone either way, I'm talking about the kind of decisions that have the appearance of a fix.

It could be fun as well as a splendid aside to the predictions league. Once you got the thing up and running to the tune of 100%.

 

I would argue - let this year run it's course. Next year approach the top 3 placed posters with a view to starting a judicial review. That is to say, these three would have to re-watch the fight in question and decide if an actual robbery had taken place.

Tougher -

1 - How can we be sure that these three will remain impartial when their own scores could be riding on the review?

2 - How do we decide if a robbery has taken place (popular vote springs to mind but you know how that can go...)?

3 - And how will the rank and file react to having points stripped from them by the three guys most likely to finish in front of them?

 

Sure. Winners just seemed the easiest way to do things - but i'm quite happy to see judicial review members voted in, that would be fine too. Whatever is best is better than what is easiest, of course. It also means the guys who would get in would tend to want the job, crucially.

Be a serious responsibility though. It's basically changing history for ESB members, at least as far as the league goes.

 

Bloody democracy...

Smith, why'd you change your name? It threw me.
