Pick 'em! Week 1

Hello, there is quite literally too many good fights this weekend to not have a pick 'em. So here you go! This is on somewhat shorter notice, but I hope everyone gets their picks in. If there are any newcomers, the point of the game is: you look at the fights, and then you think about who will win and you post your picks. If you are right, you get points and you get to make fun of everyone who did worse than you. It's fun.

The rules:

-I don't know when it's going to end or if we are having byes, but this will be a 12 week session.

-Each player will have twelve (12) doubles and six (6) triples that can be used at any point during this session.

-Every player who submits picks will receive a 5-point participation bonus for the week.

-You don't get a participation bonus if you submit late picks, but there are no other penalties.

-You will be getting an extra multiplier on the final week depending on how many weeks you play (the more, the better).

-Players are allowed to pass on one (1) pick per week, unless they have late picks that have already been missed.

-A draw or no contest is a push if you're picking winners. Disqualifications count as KOs.

The example:

If you aren't familiar with the game, imagine you have to submit a pick for the following bout:

Z. Pick a winner: Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas (years ago)

1. Tyson to win - risk 42 points to win 1

2. Douglas to win - risk 1 point to win 42

If you wanted to pick Tyson with no multiplier, you would submit it as:

Z. (1) - 1

And you'd lose 42 points, like a real dummy!

But if you wanted to pick Douglas with a triple as a multiplier, you would submit it as:

Z. (3) - 2

You would win 126 points there, congratulations!

To pass (how could one not, with those odds), you would simply write:

Z. PASS

And so on.

Have fun! Thanks for participating! Let me know if you have any feedback!
