Ja 606/Armbar Prediction league rules

So here is a full run down of the rules.

Each season will last 4 months and will cover all big events during that period.
Season 1 = Jan/April...Season 2 = May/Aug...Season 3 = Sept/Dec.

There is a year end total,but don't worry about that if you have missed a season,as really every season is basically a new competition.

Rounds featuring one or more events will be posted and you will be asked to pick the winner, method of victory and which round the fight ended or in the case of a decision, what type of decision.

You get points for the following:

10 points for picking the winner
5 points for picking the method
5 points for picking the round/decision type
50 points for picking a draw or a majority decision

You only get points for method and round/decision if you pick the winner correctly.

To keep it simple, you are limited to the choice of method and round/decision type.

The methods are:
stoppage (referee, doctor, KO, TKO, DQ)
submission (fighter taps whether by submission or by strikes, choked out cold)
decision (any fight that goes to the judges)

The rounds are self explanatory. If you choose decision for the method, then you must choose what type of decision instead of choosing a round the fight ends.

The decision types are:
UD unanimous decision, all judges for one fighter
SD split decision, 2 judges for one fighter, 1 judge for the other
MD majority decision, 2 judges score for one fighter, 1 judge scores a draw.

MD was the least common method for a fight to end last year so I have made this a 50 pointer, the same as a draw, if picked correctly.

Main events and title matches will be worth double points and will be listed in the rounds draw in red on the Armbar - stars on JA 606. In addition, you also nominate one fight as your trump fight, which is also worth double points.

You may NOT use your trump on a fight already worth double points.

Some rounds where there is 3 or more events in one round,you will be given 2 Trumps,but you can only play one Trump per event.

If a trump fight is not nominated, one will be chosen at random for you before the events start.

For UFC events, you will also be asked to predict the fight of the night, submission of the night and KO of the night. Each of these will be worth 10 points if predicted correctly.

Your predictions should be posted on the prediction thread anytime before the first fight begins at any given event.

Changes will not be accepted to an event once the first fight of that event has started.

If a round covers two events a week apart, you can post your entry for each event separately, as long as it is posted before the first fight of that event.

If for any reason you have to miss a round of predictions during the season,you will automatically score whatever the lowest score of that round was.

The armbar cup will also be kicking off soon,P4P will be running this,so any questions about that,aim them his way.


I think that covers everything,but if I've missed anything or you have any suggestions,please feel free to let me know.
