FightBeat Prediction League - ROUND ONE. Khan Vs Barrera...your picks please

Alright ladies heres the first round of the prediction league, get your guesses in and lets see what you got!

Just some rules, please take note:

(1) You CANNOT change a prediction - I will take only your first post with your predictions, make sure and double check what you post is what you are actually predicting.

(2) No editing posts. Any evidence of editing your predictions means you're a cheating little fooker and no one likes a cheating little fooker, so you will be disqualified

(3) Please post your predictions before the deadline, in this case the deadline is midnight friday 13th (just noticed that, spooky eh), I'll go by board time.

(4) You can predict in as many rounds as you want to, leave and come back as you wish, although obviously it makes sense to post predictions every round if you want to accumalate enough points and have a decent shot at winning!

Those are the rules...Shimples!

How it works:

The points system works as follows:

3 Points for predicting the correct winner

6 Points for predicting the correct winner and the correct method of victory

10 Points for predicting the correct winner, the correct method of victory and the correct round/type of decision

For ease of tallying up everyones predictions, please don't write an essay because no one wants to read it, just keep it simple like the example below

If you pick Floyd to beat Hatton by 10th round KO put your prediction down as

Floyd KO 10 Hatton

I will make no differences between a one punch knockout, a corner stoppage, bla bla, it all comes under KO. In the event of a between rounds stoppage, I will count a correct round prediction as being the round before or after, for example, if Hattons corner pulls him out between rounds 10 and 11, anyone who predicted Floyd KO 10 Hatton or Floyd KO 11 Hatton would get 10 points.

If you pick Floyd to win a unanimous decision over Hatton, please put your prediction down as

Floyd UD Hatton

Make sure you specify as to whether its a UD or a SD as if you get it correct it will give you the full 10 points, where as just saying "Floyd wins on points" would only get you 6. For the benefit of the rules, and to not be a petty twat, there is no difference between a majority decision and a split decision in this game.

I think that's everything, if anyone has any questions about the rules or anything let me know. Sorry to go into one, but its just to save further hassle down the line.

Now onto the important stuff.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I did say I wanted to do 5 fights per round, preferably 2 from europe, 2 from USA, and 1 random, however unfortunately due to the Dawson - Tarver fight being cancelled and there being no big fights stateside on the 14th to take its place, there will be more fights from Europe this round. However looking at the schedule for round two it looks like it will be the other way round the week after...

Quick Question about SCORING...

Only CORRECT Predictions R Tabulated, Right???...NO Deductions for WRONG Predictions???....



REED:dunno:

 

what if you correctly predict a draws, SDs, MDs etc...?....only the same amount of points as correctly picking a UD?

 

thats right, if u get a wrong prediction it just scores 0 points, no deductions or anything

 

if you correctly predict a draw its 10 points, same as if u correctly predict a SD or a UD, its 10 points. if you guess its a SD but the actual result is a UD or vice versa, then its just 6 points
