NSB Pick 'em 2017

[siablo14]

Hey guys, question - Should I accept a pick made through an alt for a user that is banned?

Who is it and what was he banned for?

Hey guys, question - Should I accept a pick made through an alt for a user that is banned?

Make a poll for it, we'll have an answer.

But I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a no for most of us.

Who is it and what was he banned for?

I decline to release that specific information

Well so far that's 2 against and 0 for.

Hey guys, question - Should I accept a pick made through an alt for a user that is banned?

To me it would depend on who the user is and why they were banned.

If I thought they were a good poster and proved that they were banned for a bs reason then I would probably allow it. But this might make keeping score alot harder so idk

Introduction:
Freedom brought my attention to a game on the BoxRec forums where you make fight predictions and receive points based on how accurate your prediction was. Over the course of the year players have the opportunity to score dozens of fights and maneuver their way through the rankings.

To start, I'd like to gather some input from everyone here on NSB. I'd like to know who is interested in playing & what people think the rules should look like.

Throughout the year I'd also like continual input from everyone playing on what fights are big or interesting enough to include in the game.

If the game ends up being a success, we can always discuss ways to change/improve the game for the upcoming year.

Ground rules:
- At least one week prior to each fight, a new thread will be made for the purpose of allowing people to record their predictions.
- Predictions must be made prior to the start of the fight
- You do not need to make a prediction for every fight to stay in the game, but obviously you will receive no points if you do not pick.

Terminology:
RESULT METHOD
KO = Will cover all type of stoppage wins - TKO, KO, DQ
Decision = Will cover all type of decision wins - UD, MD, SD, TD

RESULT DETAIL
If you picked KO, either 1-4, 5-8, 9-12. (Or 1-3, 4-6, 7-10 for a 10 rounder)
If you picked DEC, either 'CLOSE' or 'WIDE'.

CLOSE = Total score difference is 12 pts or less
eg. 116-112 on all three cards or closer

WIDE = Total score difference of >12 pts
eg. Wider than 116-112 on all three cards

If the fight is a 10 round fight or ends in a technical decision, the cutoff line of 12 pts is scaled down to the number of rounds fought.
eg WIDE for a 10 round fight will be wider than 97-93, 97-93, 96-94.

MULTIPLIER
Every player will have the option to use multipliers throughout the game when they feel especially confident of their prediction. It can also allow players who joined late an opportunity to get in the game by scoring a big pick.

2X = Get twice as many points for this prediction. You will have three of these in the game.

3X = Get triple as many points for this prediction. You will two of these in the game.


How scores/rankings will be updated
After each fight, your score for that fight will be calculated as follows:

Correct Fighter = 20 pts
Correct Method = 5 pts
Correct Detail = 5 pts

Wrong Fighter = 0 pts

Draw = 0 pts for all. If you correctly pick a draw, you will win 75 pts.

The total of above results in your BASE SCORE. Your BASE SCORE for a fight will multiplied by all applicable multipliers / bonuses.

Rare-Pick Bonus = 1.5X Multiplier
If you pick a fighter to win correctly that is picked by 25% or fewer of players, this bonus will be applied.

Impossible-Pick Bonus = 1.75X Muliplier
If you a pick a fighter to win correctly that is picked by 10% or fewer of the players, this bonus is applied instead of the Rare-Pick Bonus.

Perfect Rare-Pick Bonus = 1.80X Multiplier
If you guess the correct fighter, result type & detail, and 25% or fewer of the players picked the correct fighter, this bonus is applied instead of the Rare-Pick Bonus.

Perfect Impossible-Pick Bonus = 2.00X Multiplier
If you guess the correct fighter, result type & detail, and 10% or fewer of the players picked the correct fighter, this bonus is applied instead of the Impossible-Pick Bonus.

Other Details
-Score and rankings updates will be made within 24 hours after a fight.
-Rankings will include number of remaining multipliers you have left.
-If you attempt to use a multiplier that you do not have, I will use the highest available multiplier that is less than the one you tried to use. For example, if you say 2X without any 2Xs left, I will treat it as a 1X play. If you use a 3X without any 3Xs left, I will try to use a 2X.

I got 3X on late round KO

Doesn't that give me (20+5+5)x3?
correct me if I am wrong thanks man

[Prince Madison]

the poster in question is myself by the way. i havent missed a pick em yet and i got unbanned literally the day atfter that fight (today). Ive never posted off the other account, so its not like im using alts as such, even if you think im a twat (which many do) ive always enjoyed doing the pick em and been grateful for brometheusbob for doing it as you can see in this thread.
the ban was ridiculous, and theres been threads in the past about what i said not being a bannable offence. just spoils it cause my records been pretty good so far and lets face it if you miss a pick theres not much chance of winning, especially when it was probably the easiest pick of all. i think it should be up to bobs discretion cause people are always going to vote 'no' lol

I decline to release that specific information



Well so far that's 2 against and 0 for.

I believe that's correct (I picked the same) but he said he needs a couple days before he updates the tallies.
