Master v TIC v Big J new lineage boxing prediction challenge

[Ron Swanson]

Exact round being worth a point brings a bit more luck than knowledge into it. Breaking it up into grouping rounds 1-6 “early”, 7-9”mid”, 10-12 “late” would play more towards understanding how a fight will play out, “predictive knowledge” than luck. Just a suggestion that would help determine who really understands these fights better

good suggestion, i was thinking something like a round either side of predicted round counts or gets a half point or something. i also think make your prediction after the weigh in is better than forty eight hours before the fight. my original challenge to primo carnera was spare of the moment, so the basic rules were just thrown together. primo carnera ducked my challenge by refusing to predict on a lineal/ ring belt fight, then a challenge was issued to myself, so the basic rules just followed on. unfortunately only two members showed interest to participate, so i doubt the contest will continue after june but i'll always be open to a challenge

I prefer closest round either side as it covers Ron's point about breaking the rounds into groups anyway.

The person who predicts first should have the privilege of the opponent not to be able to copy the exact prediction as it is a disadvantage to go first from now on.

it's only been two rounds & you're already making excuses? i asked you in post number thirty four of the other challenge thread if you want to select someone to send our predictions to, your reply in post number thirty five was i have nothing to hide
https://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfo...a-v-tic-3.html

i'm sure you are not accusing me of copying your predictions, i took josh kelly last week as the underdog & have even chosen luis alberto lopez this week, another underdog. no one has made you make your predictions first, i have posted fights & asked if you were okay with them, because there might be fights you want to add, like you did with dillian's fight in the first week. the only exact prediction we have had so far is the upcoming teofimo fight. your idea is not great because sometimes we will have the same feeling about a fight, but i understand your concerns, i could just copy every one of your predictions if you post them first & hold my lead to the end, as you can see i had no intention of doing that by choosing the underdog luis alberto lopez this week. here are my suggestions on what we could do

my suggestions
we void this weeks fights as both have been posted publicly & you have only raised this issue now after falling behind
we ask spicoli if he is happy to receive our predictions by private message & then post them in the thread once he has received both
or
the player in the lead must post his predictions first
or
we flagged the current challenge & come back in the new year with refined rules, i'd like to add that knockout thing we spoke of about either side of the round predicted, maybe something for backing the underdog & to slightly adjust the point scoring system (maybe increase it to two points for exact round of knockout & exact decision type for example, half a point for a knockout on either side of the exact round a knockout was predicted, maybe an extra point in a face off to the correct prediction if we have chosen opposite fighters for example)

at the very least i think this weeks predictions should be voided while we decide the best course of action

[Master]

It is not an excuse just a suggestion. I am not accusing you of copying or playing it strategically.

I am just saying the first person that predicts a specific fight like UD then the other person can not do the exact same prediction they can go SD or MD.

Keep going, this is enjoyable and very simple. No need to void this week.

i was only kidding about the excuses. i think taking away a players ability to make a certain prediction limits the contest, sometimes we might make the same prediction. i would suggest from the next round that whoever is in the lead must post their predictions first, so whoever posts fights for the week just has to confirm if the other player doesn't want anything added, then the player in the lead must post their predictions first

OK but still think it is not too much trouble to not have the same exact prediction as there is only 2 of us.

it's a prediction contest, you should be able to make any kind of prediction on the outcome

[Master]

When there only 2 of us then my suggestion is first predictor gets first dibs. It is not that controversial if I predict KO 7 you can pick KO6 or 8 Instead.

it's a contest to test our prediction abilities, restricting a player from making a prediction type won't be an accurate reflection of the players predictions

I disagree and it was only a suggestion. So fine with carrying on.
