The scoring is the same. The draw is new because you wanted it. The last time I asked about it, no one seemed interested.

I would leave the discussion open about the extra points for a draw for a few days. I think Gay For Longo @Gay for Longo and I would pretty much do whatever people agree on.

Adding extra points affects a few different formulas in the spreadsheet, so people would have to decide if/how they would count toward statistics, etc.
I'm ok if people decide that they want an extra point given for a correct draw prediction

My personal feelings are that you are not being forced to select draw, it should only be picked when somebody actually thinks it's going to happen, which thanks to you we have now given the opportunity to do.
Because of This, I see no reason to award extra points but again, if people decide that they want an extra point awarded, I'm fine with that

? How is the extra points for draw working? Shouldn't it be the same points as picking correctly normally is, if at all. Lets not fuck up the system and start giving points for everything including failed drug test and dq's.

I agree
As of right now it is the exact same only with an extra option of choosing a draw and receiving the normal 1 point for that prediction

We are just looking for opinions on if people feel there should be an extra point or not
We will put you in the no category lol

Any advice or changes anybody has to offer are always encouraged to brought to the table and we will decide as a group how to move forward

Hope this somewhat answers your questions man


Edit: I do have to say I love the addition of the draw though as there have been fights where i wanted to pick that and couldn't

Lol. Right now a draw is worth three points, because it works the same in the spreadsheet as picking the correct winner and the correct method.

I think since we're about to start the season and the response seems mixed, we should leave it that way. We can consider this the pilot season for the draw.

At the end of the season, we'll ask everyone how they feel again - should it stay in the template, and should the points stay the same.

Just my take at this point. Gay For Longo @Gay for Longo you ok with that?

There are reports that Jessica Aguilar is pulled from the card since her opponent is injured. Please leave the fight in the template. No points will be scored for it no matter what you put, but that way everyone's bout order stays the same for the spreadsheet.

Here's the link to the templates for the first two events

Just a reminder, they are on Friday and Sunday.

I'm going to totally forget to make my picks at some point!
That's ok, it's just for fun. Sometimes people just like to play when they feel like it and not really go for the championship.

Anyway, once you participate in one event, you get added to the PM reminders for the season.
