I am thinking of changing how TKO's and subs are scored for the next season. How it would be is that a point would be awarded for if it is a tko or sub, what round it happened in, and the type of finish as written down on the sherdog fight finder.

So taking the Lewis vs Gonzaga fight as an example, if you predicted Lewis KO/TKO, round 2, punches. You would get 5 points for the win, plus 1 for the KO/TKO, and 1 point for the type of finish, for a total of 7.

For subs would be the same, but with the name of the submission instead.

Thoughts? Input?

i dont agree with changing it mid tournament. next one sure

@Zeph I have thought of this. I agree, picking the method of victory should give points regardless of the round

i dont like the round stuff and it looks like you want to take that out. i dont think the method of strikes will work though. a lot of places just list it as strikes. other times its a headkick then a few punches to finish it up and they call it punches

You would get a point for picking the round right. I specifically said Sherdog Fight Finder as that seems to have a standard for how they list them, rather than anyone can list it on wikipedia. Is there anything that could be better than Sherdog Fight Finder? A different thing to award a point for? It would need to be searchable after the fact, or I would say use what Bruce Buffer announces, but that would be very time consuming for me.

i like picking the winner and method of victory, 5 points for the winner and 2 for method of victory.
