WeBL Prediction Contest Rules.

  

The Scoring of the fights will be as follows:

 

Call the correct winner of the fight AND the correct round = 10 Points.

Call the correct winner by decision victory = 6 Points. Please Note - If you call a 12 round decision win and the fight ends in Round 10 or Round 11 on a stoppage, this DOES NOT count as a near miss. 

Call the correct winner and near miss (out by 1 round either side) = 5 Points.

Call the correct winner and near miss (out by 2 rounds either side) = 3 Points.

Call ONLY the correct winner of the fight = 2 Point.

Call the losing fighter = -3 Points.

Calling the draw = 15 Points (In the case of calling the draw, you will lose just 1 point if the fight is not drawn)

The highest scoring player or players (in the case of a tie) will be awarded a 5 point bonus on that week.

 

1)     The tournament will run for 12 rounds and will consist of 3 fight predictions each round, this is a total of  36 fights that will be predicted on.

 

2)     You can only predict on a maximum of 30 of the available 36 fights that are selected for prediction, the total of fights you have predicted and the total of fights that you have left for prediction will be displayed on the leaderboard on my website. This gives you the option of missing out a fight you don’t like the look of or a fight in which you are unfamiliar with the contestants, thus making the contest slightly fairer. There is no minimum of fights you have to predict on but obviously the less fights you predict on then the less points are available to you.  Once you have hit the selected 30 fights you may still predict, but no further scores will be recorded.

 

3)     Each player will receive ONE Joker to play during the contest, when playing your Joker you will receive DOUBLE points for that fight, However should you pick the wrong winner in a fight that you play a Joker you will be deducted 5 points. You may play a Joker at any time and on any fight, but you must notify this on the prediction thread.

 

4)     Each player will receive ONE Wildcard to play during the contest, when playing the Wildcard you will receive an EXTRA 10 points (ie, if you predict a decision victory for Fighter A and Fighter A wins on points, you will receive 6 Points AND a further 10 Points for playing the Wildcard)  However playing a Wildcard and selecting the wrong fighter will result in you being deducted 5 points. Again, you may play a Wildcard at any time and on any fight, but you must notify this on the prediction thread.

 WILDCARDS AND JOKERS CAN NOT BE PLAYED ON THE SAME FIGHT.

5)     The thread for the coming weeks fight predictions will be displayed on the WeBL boxing forum on the Monday previous to that weeks fights, I will need to have ALL the predictions in by around 8 PM (UK TIME) This is I believe (3 PM for most of the USA and Canada) on the Saturday that the fights take place. I will however post on the WeBL forum, once the thread for predictions has closed.

 

6)     You may predict on the fights in 2 ways, option 1 is to simply leave your prediction on the WeBL Boxing forum thread or, option 2 is if you wish your prediction to remain confidential then you may send me your prediction Via Email…At 8 PM (UK Time) on the day of the fights I will post ALL the predictions for that week on the forum.

 

7)     At the end of the competition I will provide the highest scoring TWO players with prizes which will be one of the following…A video of fights (all of which will be selected by the winner, you may pick ANY fights you can think of and I will fill 2, three hour videos, 12 hours if you have a video with twin speed facility) Alternativley I will make a short list of hard cover books and some framed boxing prints which you may then choose from.
