My first time doing this so excuse if this is a silly question BUT:

I notice that I am only one of a few who has predicted a KO with a round.

Some people have just put TKO.

Let's say I pick a fighter to win tko in the 3rd but he gets the tko in the 10th, do i get six points? Three for picking the winner and three for the tko? Does the only real difference the round make is if you call it bang on the round (15 points) or if you were 1 round out you would get seven points (instead of six)?

If you just call a TKO and he gets it, no matter what round, you get 6.

If you call a TKO in the 5th round and the fighter wins by 5th round KO you get 15

If you call a TKO in the 5th round and he gets it in the 4th you get 4

If you call a TKO in the 5th and your fighter wins by points you get 3.

We didn't come up with the rules, this has been going on a while before we took over, but the point is that its a high reward move but its hard to pull off. Not to mention if you were to say TKO 5- joker and it worked out you get 30 points and one 30 point pick will almost certainly win you the round.

So, in theory, it's best off/safer to just say TKO instead of naming a round?

Or do you get 6 points for naming the TKO plus (say i called 5th but it's in the 4th) an ADDITIONAL 4?

Nice try BB, but I'm afraid if you're one round out you just get the four points. Calling TKO is the safe play, but string a few correct round predictions together and you can start to really see the big numbers roll in.
