I say new rule: if you miss a week of course it was accidental, the following week your joker should count double. :)

I say new rule: if you miss a week of course it was accidental, the following week your joker should count double. :)
to be fair, I haven't made any picks in like a month. I was busy and realized it was futile.
@CutMeMick - you're a whore of the 2 cent variety, which is very much my style. ;DQuote:

But something tells me they both sucked off Oumafan to get extra points along the way... :DQuote:

Those 2 missed weeks have hurt me. What makes it worse is those were perfect weeks. I was gonna get every outcome right. Every round right. And hit on both the joker and star fights.

Such a tough week to call, so many good fights to watch, but I've got my dissertation in for a week on Monday so I don't think I can watch many of the fights :(.
If you've not put your picks in yet, what the heck have you been doing? Wrapping this up for the last time this season. Next time I see you I'll be announcing my glorious victory in the prediction competition.

Ha....Cutmemick....as if!
Congratulations to the real winner:
:drunks::party::cheerleader: COMEGALLETAS :cheerleader::party::drunks:
Another great season, and on behalf of the management I'd like to thank you all for playing and for providing a few players poor enough to make even Oumafan and I look like we might know a little something about predictions!
2nd or 3rd win, right? Congrats.Quote:

Thanks to all who run this league for the time they put in and next season I will try to take part from the start
congrats to the winner. :)
Congrats Comegalletas and to all for a great competition.
Thanks to Ouma and Super for a job well done.
Although I'm not a veteran of this competition and I'm sure it's evolved quite a bit over time here are some observations that may or may not be useful for future comps:
- Number of points should be increased for ko round prediction and for one off ko round prediction (or decreased for UD and KO predictions)
Justification: Odds and fun factor. Let's be really generous and say that 50% of all fights (not counting draws) end in a KO/TKO. Usually the fights that we're predicting are between 10-12 rounds. Given that a KO is equally likely to happen in any 1 round then there's a 1/2*1/10 - 1/2*1/12 chance that a fight will end in KO in a given round or 1/20 - 1/24. However you'll only receive 18 points if you guess spot on. I looked it up and couldn't quickly find an average ko percentage but I imagine it's lower than 50% which makes the chances even slimmer (even lower once you work in draws) and the point to odd ratio even weaker. If we use the same 50% KO average then picking just KO gives you 8 points for a relatively 50/50 shot. For a long competition like this it means that picking KO rounds makes no sense at all (unless it's a mismatch heavyweight fight where first round KOs are more common). Increasing the one off KO round prediction mitigates this. Also predicting round KOs is a lot more fun and would be more tempting if the score matched the odds. Another possible solution to make this choice justifiable is to throw more mismatches into the mix for predictions as I've noticed most of the choices are close fights.
Thoughts on this one? More rambling suggestions to follow.
i like making ko round picks but have learned that you can't win this competetion by making them. i'd be more inclined to make round picks if there were more points involved. in previous years a correct ko round pick got 25 or 30 points (if my memory is correct)... that made it a more exciting and unpredictable contest.Quote:

I lost my third place in the final week :( o well, onto the next comp, when is it starting up??
How many titles is that for @Comegalletas?
We might have to start handicapping this shit
comegalletas is doing something fishy. with his luck why isnt he in the goddam casinos winning big bucks, instead of beating all our asses?
My first top 5 finish :clap: :box3:
:bowdown: Comegalletas
So when would the new one start?
Ease up now son, it'll be a few weeks at least. Me and Oumafan are getting our all-expenses paid rickshaws over to Saddo's house for a cup of horlicks and a rusk before we discuss what's happening next.Quote:
