Welcome back to the Armbars MMA Predictions League for those who played last time and kia ora to the new entrants.
The League will play much as last time with a couple of new features. The fights will be from all the major MMA organisations and includes Japanese events. Some known fighters fighting in a small promotion may also be included.
The scoring remains the same and is listed below:
10 points for picking the winner
5 points for picking the method
5 points for picking the round/decision type
30 points for picking a draw
To keep it simple, you are limited to the choice of method and round/decision type.
The methods are:
stoppage (referee, doctor, KO, TKO, DQ)
submission (fighter taps, choked out cold)
decision (any fight that goes to the judges)
The rounds are self explanatory. If you choose decision for the method, then you must choose what type of decision instead of choosing a round the fight ends.
The decision types are:
UD unanimous decision, all judges for one fighter
SD split decision, 2 judges for one fighter, 1 judge for the other
MD majority decision, 2 judges score for one fighter, 1 judge scores a draw.
All main events will be worth double points. In addition, you also nominate one fight as your trump fight, which is also worth double points. A trump fight can NOT be a main event. If a trump fight is not nominated, one will be chosen at random for you before the events start.
For UFC events, you will also be asked to predict the fight of the night, submission of the night and KO of the night. Each of these will be worth 10 points.
Your predictions should be posted on the prediction thread anytime before the first fight begins at any given event. If a round covers two events a week apart, you can post your entry for each event separately, as long as it is posted before the first fight of that event.
Each round will be a maximum of 20 fights from a number of organisations. I will try to keep it to main card fights and known fighters but will sometimes have to throw in the undercard of the WEC or Strikeforce events to ensure enough fights for a round. The very occasional boxing or K-1 match might also be added, but only major ones. A league table will be posted after every round.
I can't promise any prizes at the moment but someone might feel kind enough to donate something, as happened last year. I still haven't sent the prizes out to last years winners - definitely next week.
Hopefully I have covered everything. If you have any questions or suggestions, fire away.
The first round for 2010 will most likely be covering Strikefore: Miami and UFC 109, which is still some time away so I will post it once the Strikeforce card is finalised.
So then, who's in? The more the merrier. Could someone please post a recruitment message on 606, maybe some of those guys would be keen. Here's hoping for a shit hot year for MMA!!! You don't have to register now as posting an entry for round 1 confirms your entry into the league.
