LastExit34

CONTEST RULES:
1) Private Message all picks directly to me, LastExit34. DO NOT post your predictions in this thread. If predictions are posted in the thread, your entry will not be included in the contest.

2) Your picks should include each of the following for every fight on the card:
--Winner of the fight (worth 1 point)
--Method of winning: TKO/KO, Submission, or Decision. A fight won by DQ will count as a TKO (worth 1 point)
--Round the fight ends in: The title fight is 5 rounds, all other fights are 3 rounds (worth 1 point)

Please use the following format when submitting your picks:

Winner/Method/Round

Example:
Franklin/TKO/2
Lister/Sub/1
Sylvia/Decision

There is no need to make your predictions look pretty or space them out or use a different font or copy the whole fight card. All it does is make more work for me.

3) Points will be tallied as follows. Winner/Method/Round. You must have predicted the Winner correctly in order to have a chance to get the point for the Method. And you must have predicted the Winner and Method correctly in order to have a chance to get the point for the Round. Any correct choice of Decision for the Method will automatically get the point for the Round.

4) Whoever has the most points at the end of the event will be declared the UFC 63 Predictions Contest Champion.

5) If there is a tie for most points at the end of the event, the person who sent the picks to me first will be declared the winner. So get your picks in early.

6) This contest is open to all forum members, including mods and admins, with the exception of myself.

7) The results will be posted and the winner will be announced in this thread within 24 hours of the end of the event. Only one entry per person.

The winner will receive 10,000 forum points and title of UFC Predictions Champion.

DEADLINE is Saturday, September 23rd at 7:00pm EST. No picks will be accepted after that time.

Make sure your picks are complete when you send them to me because once you send them in, they are final. No changing any picks and any incomplete picks are not included in the contest.

Again, do not post predictions in this thread. Use this thread only if you have any questions regarding the contest...or if you want to do a little friendly trash talking.

There is one thing I have been curious about though.

If the outcome of the fight is a TKO,but we chose KO do we still get the points for it??Or are they looked at as completely different outcomes???

Get what I'm saying?

i think its the same

Snow Patrol

I've been wondering about that as well, especially since in the UFC rules it says that KO is not an official outcome. So I tend to go with the TKO over KO because of that. For the purposes of this competition, I'm assuming KO and TKO are different outcomes?

As far as the TKO/KO things goes, I may be mistaken but I believe Last Exit has counted them as the same outcome. So either way you pick, you get your points.

I am finishing up my picks. My only goal is not to get dead last. If i do not get dead last. Im doing great!

TKO-KO-DQ all count as the same outcome.

And seriously, is it that hard to send the picks in the format I ask for? I already know the fight card. I don't need it pasted within the picks.

Many thanks to the 90% of you who actually do send them in the format I ask for.

Harms

From what I have been able to gather, in boxing if a fighter goes down and is unable to get up, that is a KO. A TKO would be when the ref actually stops the fight because a fighter would/should not be able to continue. Since in MMA if a fighter literally is knocked unconcious, the opponent is expected to continue attacking until the ref stops the fight, resulting in a TKO. Hence there is no KO in UFC.

I agree, it's just that the commentators say often refer to the KO as well as fight finder. Look at Arlovski's wins for example: http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/f...?fighterID=270

When Rich stopped Quarry, he didn't follow up after the KO punch, so technically the ref didn't stop the fight... Ace stopped the fight with that awesome punch and knew he didn't need to follow it up.

But just calling it a TKO instead of KO would make things less confusing.
