NSB PICK EM 2024: ROUND 3. PICK EM #34: SATURDAY 14th DECEMBER

Damn you I almost replied to you before I noticed the spam. AI out "learning" again.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the scoring system and multipliers. It’s helpful to have all the fight categories and point structures clearly outlined. This will definitely make it easier for participants to understand how to maximize their points. One quick question—regarding the multiplier usage, is there a specific cutoff for when a multiplier can no longer be applied, or can it be added at any point before the fight starts as long as it’s on the underdog? Just want to be clear to avoid any issues with timing. Damn you I almost replied to you before I noticed the spam.

Perfect pick in a wrong thread... but I'm counting it! :boxing: Lol thank you. Was still getting the boogers out of my eyes.

Mammoth, Opetaia, KO, Early Perfect pick in a wrong thread... but I'm counting it! :boxing:

Mammoth, Opetaia, KO, Early

I always liked him as a writer, I enjoyed his Dougie's Mailbags. Maybe Oscar made an executive decision? Of course! I hadn't considered that the decision to kill the forum likely came from the top. The poor editor probably had nothing to do with it.

So, what you're telling me is, Fischer is a great guy with excellent communication skills. :lol1: I always liked him as a writer, I enjoyed his Dougie's Mailbags. Maybe Oscar made an executive decision?

as far as I know there was no explanation - just from one day to next it was gone So, what you're telling me is, Fischer is a great guy with excellent communication skills. :lol1:

This site may start losing posters if these failures continue. The senseless AI-driven censorship, inexplicable bans, killing the pick 'em cash award, biased editor's posts, and failure to acknowledge pick 'em bump requests are beginning to get old. Great point. I mentioned this a while back when they started banning posters with a long post history from the Lounge. Unfortunately this site is going downhill fast. I only come on here on occasion for the Pick 'em. Even the daily boxing news is watered down and bias.

I can see how continually screening and censoring abusive posters can get frustrating. However, with today's technology, AI can do the initial screening and humans can do the final editing. To throw one's hands up and eliminate forums altogether is a cop-out and a disservice. I wonder what Fischer's explanation was. as far as I know there was no explanation - just from one day to next it was gone

Hanging onto the Top 5 by a thread.

It could be worse - Doug Fischer the editor of the Ring just deleted the whole comments section about 2-3 years ago - years of history of posts gone. No sensibilities whatever - I'm not sure who Turki will employ to edit and write at the Ring but I hope Fischer loses his job I can see how continually screening and censoring abusive posters can get frustrating.

It's actually a mirror of what's happening worldwide, more or less in ANY field. Human sensibility and talent be damned, welcome mediocrity! It's a damn shame.

Thanks to BigZ44 and SteveM who made my maths extremely easy for the weekend... the one week I didn't even consider a draw :lol1: Result: Rocha vs Curiel, DRAW Standings on December 15, 2024: PLAYER POINTS x2 x3 x5 PERFECT PICKS SceneBoxer 950 1 1 1 8 anonymous2.0 940 2 0 0 9 mlac 920 2 1 0 2 PBRStreetgang 910 0 0 0 7 Joseph 860 0 0 0 4 Idunnoshet 810 0 0 0 8 Chrismart 790 2 1 0 6 joe strong 790 1 1 0 3 KING S.O.G. 760 1 0 0 4 crimsonfalcon07 750 1 1 0 6 BigZ44 720 0 0 1 6 SUBZER0ED 720 1 0 1 8 Citizen Koba 690 0 0 0 4 NCUppercut 680 0 0 0 4 Damn Wicked 650 0 0 0 3 MikeyG 640 1 1 0 6 jas 620 0 1 0 5 eco1 600 2 0 0 4 Rockybigblower 590 3 1 1 2 Mammoth 570 2 1 0 5 SteveM 560 2 1 0 3 Tatabanya 500 1 0 0 2 Baltimore 460 3 1 0 4 bobbybobberton 420 2 1 0 3 MulaKO 150 2 1 0 0 Handsofiron 80 3 2 1 1 Big Ron 70 3 2 1 1 The plunger man 40 3 2 1 0 alexnation 20 3 2 1 0 dan_cov 0 3 2 1 0 ​ ​
