Tam's prediction contest rules

Alright...

the possible picks and how they win are:

1. X wins by WIDE DECISION over y (if two or more judges have X winning by 4 or more points, you win maximum points)

2. X wins by CLOSE DECISION over y (if two or more judges have X winning by 3 or fewer points, you win maximum points. Also, if X wins by split decision, you win maximum points if one or more judges have X winning by 3 or fewer points)

3. X wins by EARLY KO (you get maximum points if X wins via KO within the first 3 rounds)

4. X wins by MID KO (you get maximum points if X wins via KO within rounds 4 thru 8)

5. X wins by LATE KO (you get maximum points if X wins via KO in rounds 9 thru 12)

6. Pick Y by any method (you lose 2 points)

7. Don't make a pick on this fight (no points)

8. Pick DRAW. (you lose 2 points, unless a DRAW. Then you get 2 points. You do not have to pick the type of DRAW).

Hypo:
A. X wins by WIDE DECISION
1. Gets 2 points for correct winner, 1 point for type of win (decision), and 1 point for exact type of win (WIDE DECISION): Total = 4 points.

2. Gets 2 points for correct winner, 1 point for type of win (decision). Total = 3 points.

3, 4, 5. Get 2 points for correct winner. Total = 2 points.

Hypo:
B. X wins by LATE KO
1. and 2. get 2 points for correct winner. Total = 2 points.

3. and 4. get 2 points for correct winner, 1 point for type of win (knockout). Total = 3 points.

5. Gets 2 points for correct winner, 1 point for type of win (knockout), and 1 point for exact type of win (WIDE DECISION). Total = 4 points.

So far...this right?

My next questions:

AA. Are DQ's treated as KO's?

BB. Is there a modification for Technical Decisions or do you just get a big advantage if you picked CLOSE DECISION since there is less room for a 4 point difference?

CC. If you pick DRAW, you should get all 4 points and not just 2. Isn't that more fair?

 

Fucken hell. I wish I didnt volunteer...

Correct

Not quite. Forget the idea of a split. The rules for a close decision are if two or more judges have the winner, by three or fewer points.

Yep

The orevious two are right. Picking a draw is the same as a perfect pick. You would get maximum points for picking a draw.

Thats correct.

This is all correct.

In the event of a DQ, maximum points are only two = if you pick the correct winner. We don't have room for a DQ pick. Never saw the validity of it.

You have it right, you get a large advantage in this case, if you pick a close decision. It would be a little too much work to change the rules specifically relating to this, IMO. You also get an advantage picking "close" in ten round fights, as the gap for a points decision doesnt change there either.

I agreed earlier and I think thats the right way to go. I thought thats how it was denoted though.

 

That's a :shit: LOAD of fights to score! If you take of 4 or 5, I won't hold it against you!

 

Don't sweat it, I won't be doing this by myself for very long. Im going to drag some sucker into helping me soon enough.::

I ran this on another site and one month we had around 35 fights and fifty competitors. I did it by myself. I think I quit soon after ::

 

sorry, but a split decision still isn't clear.

118-110, 118-110, 110-118 = WIDE DEC because 2 or more judges scored for the winner by 4 or more points.

115-113, 115-113, 110-118 = CLOSE DEC because 2 or more judges scored for the winner by 3 or less points.

115-113, 118-110, 108-120 = ?? DEC. The winner was scored by one judge CLOSE and one judge WIDE. That doesn't meet the criteria.

 

You know what, I've never even came across a scoring problem like that. But that qualifies as a CLOSE decision, as the winner of the fight has one judge scoring close, the other wide, while the other for the loser.

Does that make sense?

 

Yep. I think all of the bases are covered now.

haha...okay, i have one more...

I assume we go by the official record, but I frickin hate it when a guy gets credit for lasting until the 4th round when the fight is ended as soon as the 4th round bell rings without making any effort to fight in the 4th.

In my world, that should count as an EARLY KO (first 3 rds). Do you count it as a MID KO?

 

I gotta go by the official docket on that, but I DO hear what youre saying. The problem is that there isnt consitency from commission to commission. In some states and countries, a guy who quits in between rounds is credited the KO in the following round. Others, it goes on the round he just completed.

It could be problematic when it comes time to score these fights, if one or two are off TV and I don't have the exact details, ya know?

 

So this is a free contest then?

 

Jump in right now. Im not sure what the majority wanna do later down the line. This one for May is just a little training exercise. Work out the bugs before we start for real.

 

Is this thing still alive?
