2) Your picks should include each of the following for every fight on the card:

Winner/Method/Round

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.

Mine are in.

Ryduce · 09-17-2006, 09:42 PM

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?

GSPALLTHEWAY · 09-17-2006, 09:51 PM

i think its the same

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?

Pitbull · 09-17-2006, 10:15 PM

My picks are in!!!

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.

stillstanding · 09-18-2006, 02:30 PM

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!

LastExit34 · 09-18-2006, 02:45 PM

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.

stillstanding · 09-18-2006, 02:56 PM

NO prob Lastexit.

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.

spiritofbattle · 09-19-2006, 09:31 AM

Good stuff got mine in.

Ryduce · 09-20-2006, 06:52 PM
