--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week Five Review

The Fights

Only three fights this week, Karl Place's opponent dropped out late on, adding to Danny Williams' withdrawal earlier in the week. In the fights that did happen, Jason Booth learned the lesson that you can't go on for ever, the younger Scott Quigg really did a job on him and his career looks to be over, certainly at super bantamweight. It comes to us all eventually. In the other fights, Donaire earned a shut-out 3 x 120-108 unanimous decision, confirming his lofty P4P ranking, and Marco Huck KO'ed his opponent in 6.

The Premiership

A fantastic week for compelling and rich, who managed to get all three fights spot on, earning himself 12 points, a big jump up the table to finish in 4th place, and of course a Predictor of the Week award.

It was the same old story for Knowsit17, the Prediction League's perennial choker once again failing to hold on to a lead when it matters, a measly 4 points drops him to a 3rd place finish. Second place went to sodhat, a case of ever the bridesmaid never the bride for our Prediction Cup runner-up.

Top of the tree though is Eyetoldyouso, our new champion claiming his title with an impressive 10 point haul. I am sure you will all join me in congratulating our new champ.

It's not all happiness and joy though, as alma, Michaels, ian_jamsie, JJJohnson and, believe it or not, Union Cane have all been relegated from the Premiership.

The Championship

School Project becomes the first Championship Champion, a nine point haul this week propelling him to the top. Dass, Jdandfries and 88Chris05 will all join him in next season's Premiership, however there is drama surrounding the fifth promotion place, with 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude tied on 29 points. They can't be separated by the Highest Weekly Score criteria, both having high-scores of 9 points, so a play-off will be required. Details below...

*Update*

The Play-Offs couldn't separate 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude, so given the exceptional circumstances, I have decided that Season 3's Premiership will have 21 places, they are both promoted.

Scoring and Rules

I will list fights 1 - 5, this list will be definitive, when predicting please list fights in the same order.

Predict the winner - 1 point

- Predict the method (KO*/Pts) - 1 point

- - Predict 'Early' or 'Late' (for KO) / 'Unanimous' or 'Majority/Split' (for Pts) - 1 point

Get all three above correct - 1 bonus point

Correctly predicting a draw (be it majority or even technical) will score you 10 points

Any entries that are subsequently amended will be void.

If a fight is cancelled, postponed, or if a fighter drops out and is replaced, that fight is then void.

Each season will be five weeks long.

There will be promotion and relegation between the two divisions, with the top five in the Championship replacing the bottom five in the Premiership at the end of each season.

If at the end of the season players are level on points, the player with the highest individual weekly score will take the higher placing.

Nobody is automatically entered into the Championship, anyone can enter, simply post your predictions to take part, using the format detailed below. You can enter at any point in the season, after all, 5 draws is 50 points which could win promotion in one week.

If the official result of a fight is changed within one week of the fight having taken place, the new result will be applied. After one week, the result as given will stand.

Union Cane's decision is final.

Example Entry - Please use this format :

1. Paulie Maglinaggi - KO Early
2. Edwin Valero - Pts UD
3. Calvin Brock - KO Late
4. Jessie Vargas - Pts M/SD
5. Nigel Benn v. Chris Eubank - Draw

I think that just about covers it, any questions feel free to ask.

It was last season, but that was because it co-incided with "the greatest undercard of all time, in the history of the world, ever"

It will just be 5 fights this time round.

I predict 28 points will be enough for survival, so you'll be ok to lock horns with the big boys in season 3!

Must say i much prefer a 5 week shootout with the whole relegation thing (i'm too good to go down though, relegation will never be an issue)...

Don't worry, my late season surge is about to happen! I'm just happy "Genius of PBF" (twonk) is in the relegation dogfight.

Imagine what will happen if Tino gets relegated?! Rowley might treat himself to a new pair of slippers to celebrate!

erm since last season a TD counted as a knockout...why does it now mean a UD?

knowsit should get 1 point instead of 4

by **Union Cane** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 3:32 pm

It was a decision, and it was unanimous. Therefore it's a U(Unanimous)D(Decision).

How can that be a knockout?

https://www.606v2.com/t7986p950-union-cane-s-prediction-league-12th-and-final-round

You can clearly see in the rules section that a TD counted as a knockout.

Scoring and Rules

For any newcomers and the forgetful, scoring and rules as follows :
• Predict the winner - 1 point

• - Predict the method (KO*/Pts) - 1 point

• - - Predict Early / Late (for KO) or Unanimous / Split / Majority (for Pts) - 1 point

• Get all three above correct - 1 bonus point

• 10 points will be awarded for correctly predicting a draw.

• *TKO, DQ, TD or Retirement all count as KO

As long as the rules are clearly stated at the start of the 'season' and remain consistent for it's duration, there shouldn't be a problem. Would you go back and change the result of every boxing match which ended in a stoppage after the twelfth..?

by The genius of PBF Mon 10 Oct 2011, 3:41 pm

If the rules changed this season you should have let everyone know.

by **Union Cane** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 3:41 pm

Coxy and The Genius ganging up on me. What chance have I got.

Last season I made a balls, this has been corrected for this season, a Technical Decision is a decision, be it unanimous or otherwise.
