Charity prediction comp.

cowzerp

O'K we will be doing the 2009 prediction competition in the next couple of weeks, now this is the idea? Rockman suggested that we pay 10 euro to enter and the winner can donate the winnings to a charity of his choice, when entered you can state your chosen charity..

anyone interested let me know here, we can work out a way of paying, i would ask that 1 of the mods looks after this=:D

Bigears maybe? as he always plays the comp!
paypal or something

Even if your not in it to win it it would be giving money to charity so its a good cause either way...

Not me Paul; as I am skeptical of charity
to be honest! I'd hate to think MY money
went to a charity and the charity didn't really see much
of it!

But, fair play for the idea and I hope it works out.
Just my view!

^^^^^^^
:rolleyes:


Anyway ,Think it's a great idea,
What great example of humanity thought of this

Count me in.

MBC

Yep count me in to Cowzer mate.

Dr_MaSoN

megadodge

I'm in as well.

cowzerp

Great lads, now, how are we going to go about it?
we need a way of getting the money secured, anyone any ideas?

03mcgs0

Count me in.

Fair dues cowzerp it must be a pain in the arse adding up the points all the time

Big Ears

Well count me in, but unfortunately I can't really organise the money side of things. I don't have a paypal account myself so I'm going to need my sisters or a friends help just to enter.


Paul I'm sure people would trust you over the money side of things but I realise you perhaps wouldn't want to have the burden of doing that aswell as running the comp.

Walshb you mightn't be keen of entering but perhaps you be willing to look after the money issue for us ?

cowzerp

i'll do it! I have a paypal account, we'll organise it during the week.

I have a pay pal account if that is any use?

BTW, just so we're clear, my issue is with the charities, not you
guys. Some very god charities, but some real dodgy ones

The first week of the New Year would suit ,With a 3 year old and a 5 year old to say the credit cards are stretched would be an under statement Just need to wait for some cash to start flowing back the nice direction:D . Will be ready by the 5th.

Ya that's understandable, and I think that's the impression most of us got from your first post.

It's why I was wondering if we could have the money donated to a boxing club in the terms of equipment so would could physically see the improvement, but then again with part of the prize being our choice of charity that's not really possible.

Great stuff, hope numbers will be good.

menoscemo

count me in, But I am going to be away for about 3 weeks from tomorrow. I will sort whoever out when I come back.

ODD-JOB

Im in !!
I havent got paypal though , and cant get my account organised due to a few difficulties.

Im happy to send a 10'er cash , I'll trust Cowzer-P :eek: .....:D:D

Yes ,... I say a charity of our choice, and if somebody prefers then they can give to a boxing club should they win.

Excellent idea.

And also just a small note to say:
THANKS A MILLION to COWZERP for all the effort he took to post the entire years competition poll's , keep an eye on the participants, tot up the scores and re-print a updated competition standings !!

In case people dont realise, ... all this is very very time consuming , and he gets nothing in return !!

Big Ears your chosen boxing club is a fine choice for the money if you choose that, i would be all for the money going to an actual charity or else a non profit boxing club as they provide a great service and would make use of the money, even if it just bought 1 bag for the club!

Ps, we'll start the comp at the start of 09 but after january we'll delete players who are not participating in the charity event! this will give everyone time to get your money into the comp, my paypal address is cowzerp@yahoo.com, as far as i know you'd need to put about 11 euro in for it to be worth 10 euro! as they have there own charge for payments.also leave your nickname on boards on the notes so i know who sent the payments!.if anyone wants to post the money to me pm me and i'll give you my addres!

Hear, hear!

cowzerp

This year we are doing the competition for charity, the winner of the competition can donate the money to any charity or non profit boxing club if they choose! to join the competition its 10 euro or 11 euro if paying through paypal! anyone can predict for the 1st couple of weeks but the paid up members names will be in a different colour, after a few weeks the non paying players will be removed from the comp.

Even non players are welcome to donate money to the game, the more money we can build up the better for the winners charity..Enjoy.


scores.
10 points for correct winner
30 bonus for correct round
50 for a draw as they are harder to guess
5 for guessing a decision or KO win.

does the comp start again at the end of January or just continue on from where it is now with the people that put there money in?

Dr_MaSoN

any chance i can just mail you the cash

cowzerp

The comp has started, just waiting for payments still-the cash can be mailed to me or by paypal, its a yearly comp, jan-the end of dec, people can join at any stage, remember its for charity so it does not matter who wins, and its a bit of craic!

i will be removing all the unpayed players at the end of jan and the comp will continue with the payed players in it.

Me missing out on getting the Khan fight completely right made me realise something. I think too many points are put on getting the correct round right.

Eg.lets say the following fights were in the comp poll last week
Arthur Abraham v Lajuan Simon
Enzo Maccarinelli v Ola Afalabi

Poster (A) picks Lajuan Simon by first round knockout and Afalabi by 9th round tko.

Poster (B) picks Arthur Abraham on points and Afalabi by 8th round tko.

Poster (A) receives 45 points for his efforts
Poster (B) receives 30 points for his efforts


Does anyone else see something wrong with that ?

ODD-JOB

And possibly not enough points awarded for a draw !
make it a round 100 points !
Only a 3% or 4% chance of a draw generally speaking !

Anyway , I came to suggest a fight that will be televised (I presume) and is a 50/50 fight too.

Anthony Small v Ryan Rhodes !

Its open to change if enough people want it to change, the only thing i'd say though is that it stops people going for the easy option of points every time..

ps, i had actually thought i'd predicted an 11th round win for dunne but it did not register-:(

I,m posting off my phone for a week or so so thats why, also why i might be slow getting the comp results up, should be back to normal next week..

sam peter eddie chambers is tomorrow. Thats a fairly 50/50 fight. You could use it if you need one.

True but it makes the competition less accurate in judging the skill of predicting fights.

I mean in the example I gave does the poster (a) really deserve to have 50% more points from their predictions.

Is picking Lajuan Simon by first round knockout and Afalabi by 9th round tko 50% more accurate than picking picks Arthur Abraham on points and Afalabi by 8th round tko ?

Perhaps seperating the rounds for a stoppage into different groups, rather than an individual pick eg 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 or 1-4. 5-8, 9-12

In that situation, poster (b) who imo has shown more accurate predicting skills has 15 more points than (a).

I would suggest:
20 for correct fighter
10 for correct group of rounds(of of the 3, 1-4, 5-8, 9-12)
10 for guessing a stoppage
10 for points
60 for draw
