-Draws are worth 120pts. A perfect pick without a multiplier is 30pts.
-CLOSE is <12 pts difference, or anything closer than 116-112 on all three scorecards. WIDE is >=12 pts difference, or anything equivalent to 116-112 on all three cards or wider.
-If you'd like to change your pick before the fight starts, post in this thread to do so. Ideally tag me so that I don't miss it.
-2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 5 doubles and 3 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread.

Ok Gentlemen. Apologies for not having the leaderboard up to date yet... but y'know... Christmas.:lol1:
Finally managed to get a hour or two to do the tallies this morning with baby Koba parked in front of cartoons and Jr still abed after a late night playing PC games with PEGI ratings far higher than his actual age... Parent of the Year, I probably ain't winning.
I will have that ish done in thew next coupla days, but just wanted to get the final Pick 'em up and running ASAP to give everyone to get their final picks in.
At a quick guess there ain't gonna be many changes on leaderboard.. all the top players made pretty similar picks in the last few games with he exception of Dramashow who may move past myself with his pick on Josh Warrington last week.
Anyways. Good cheer and good luck to y'all.:beerchug:

whyte > chisora KO early 3rd round to be exact :D 2xs
Warrington > Frampton by Split Decision (one card wide)
:lol1: Ima choose to read that second one as 'CLOSE' dec in the spirit of the season, though technically a split dec could be wider than 11pts (very unlikely mind).
:beerchug:
I forgot about the UK start times. :grr:
Got both picks wrong anyway.
Yeah. I think a few people still get caught out by that, I could include the UTC in the thread title but I know how it works.. if you ain't thinking it's on you just don't see it anyway.
And I underestimated Warrington - again. For some reason he's one of those dudes I keep thinking the more polished guys gonna outclass, but I forget just how far sheer determination and a really good engine can get you... not only that but the kid's also developing more wrinkles with the high level experience. He's getting to the stage where I ain't gonna confidently pick against him even against LSC or Russell or (and this one would be a war) Valdez.
