    Prob should of posted a new thread though

    As requested :p

    How to register:
    Head over to Sherdog.com and with a simple email activation that takes 2 minutes at most you'll have an account to play with.

    How to join the pool:
    The Boards.ie pool is private which means you need the name/password:

    Name: BoardsIE
    Password: boardsiemma


    The rules:
    A full set of rules are available to view here but for ease of access they're listed below:
    Time: You'll have from approximately one week up to one hour before the event to make predictions.
    Scoring: You can predict fighter alone (50 points), fighter (50) method of victory (30 points) and round of victory (30 points) or fighter (50) and decision (60 points). Incorrect winner but correct victory/round will result in 0 points.
    Boosts: You'll have a number of boosts per event (No. of fights / 2, rounded down) which increase the number of points awarded for a win, but are optional to use:
    3.1: Correct winner - 100 points boost.
    3.2: Incorrect winner - 50 points deduction.
    (Only a winner affects the boosts applied)

    TL;DR
    Register on Sherdog.com
    Pool name: "BoardsIE"
    Pool pass: "boardsiemma"


    **There was debate in the last thread about whether or not we were including Strikeforce events, obviously this only applies for tonight but, YES, it is included. Any card that is on Sherdog counts towards the leaderboard.**

    I suggest we do 2 a year but not sure how others feel about that. This way, we can kick it off again in June/July. If someone runs away with the lead people can and will lose interest.

    That's strange because when they wiped the score from the last pool I checked and it still had the ~25 or so members in it.

    I'd be up for the 2 pools a year idea, if others were

    Needed that one... Had a shocking start. Not that the weekend was great but definitely better than my previous picks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,959 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    5 fights in, -40 points, 3 boosts all failed.

    Gonna be one of them nights


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,959 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    6 fights now, -90 points (well, 0 points but 90 down), 4 failed boosts. FFS :mad::mad:

    Top of the pile 2 events running and I'm still 4th. I'm so bad at this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,902 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    Just noticed my Aldo v Edgar pics aren't there. Balls
    At least it wasn't too high scoring an event, but I'd be joint third without that event included. Better not let that happen again
