PICK EM CREW Tatabanya Joseph Citizen Koba

Firstly, BIG RESPECT to you guys for Pick 'Em - it's a great, fun way for forum users to test their boxing knowledge against each other and I appreciate the hard work you guys put into organising it. Sht can't be easy!

However, like I mentioned to Tata the other week, personally I feel that the multiplier spoils the game because it SKEWS the results. For example, if you look at the table as it stands right now, the guys at the top have used up almost all of their multipliers as opposed to the guys at the bottom. Kudos to them for picking wisely but they're so far ahead of the competition that it's going to be extremely difficult for everybody else to catch up (unless they also pick the right multipliers).

Therefore, I propose creating 2 tables:- one with the results of the multiplier and one without. Whilst I appreciate that this is a LOT of work and will probably take some time to put together, issuing 2 tables would give a better indication as to who has truly made the correct number of picks over a given time period. For example, in Football (Soccer), teams are awarded 3 points for every victory but you don't earn bonus points (akin to a multiplier) for beating a stronger opponent or scoring 'X' number of goals. Therefore, I believe that Pick 'Em should work in the same way.

For one, I would agree with the removal of the multipliers. But I feel like we are in a minority. This issue has already been discussed in the past, and I think that after your post the discussion will be reignited. What do you think, people?
