Boxing Sheep NEW GAME 22/06 PM me answers by 3:30pm

by paperbag_puncher Tue 12 Jun 2012, 1:23 pm

First topic message reminder :

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.
Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit.

Name a boxer from Scandinavia
Name an active counter puncher
Name a retired counter puncher
Name a fighter who quit in a fight
Name someone who defeated Antonio Margarito
Name an attractive TV character
Name a character from the sitcom "Friends"
Name a U.S state
Name a fight where a Brit beat an American for a title
Name a 606 V2 boxing member whos name is boxing related

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 3:30pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most common answer.

Ermie -Took a risk and hoped for amateur fights to count. Big fan of Ali and many people automatically assume he won gold at heavyweight in the Olympics.

By all accounts he was beaten handidly by Price...both in the ring and verbally if rumours are to be believed.

by bhb001 Wed 20 Jun 2012, 4:38 pm

Just a check on calculations. If you get an incorrect, do you get the points of the most popular plus the points of the second most popular answer added together as a penalty? Would seem fair, but just checking.

by PF4EC Wed 20 Jun 2012, 4:39 pm

1.5 times the most popular answer i think, then rounded up if needed

I didn't make these rules up I just found them.

Incorrect answers are scored in one of two ways:

Method 1 - Incorrects score 1.5 times the highest correct score (rounded up). So if the highest correct score was 7, incorrects would receive 11.

seems fair to times it by 1.5 cos there is always a correct answer people will know if they are not sure
