[PICK EM CREW]

Okay Gentlemen, the new season is upon us - and we might have a slightly deceptive one on our hands to kick off the New Year and the 2023 season. Course Tank is the rightful favourite but the bookies have it absurdly wide given that Hector Luis is an unbeaten contender who's displayed some great skills in overcoming Gutierrez and blue chip prospect Colbert.

I expect most of you know what you're doing by now but for the benefit of any new players we might entice in for 2023 the basic system is explained in the post above and further details on the rules can be found in the upcoming 2023 Masterthread - although in the meantime the 2022 Masterthread still stickied should give you a pretty good idea to be going on with.

There is likely to be a few minor rules changes which are still under discussion but there won't be anything that changes the fundamental nature of how you make picks and so on.

For veteran players the only immediate thing to take note of is that I made the decison to not allow the use of optional multipliers on wide favourites - the final detail of the rules is yet to be decided... possibly it'll be a case of no multipliers to be played on the favourite if there's a multplier on the underdog (ie the underdog is +300 or greater) or possibly it'll be that all multipliers (not just x5s) will only be playable on the bookies' underdog (ie fighters with aggregate odds of +100 or greater).

In any event you will not be able to play multipliers on Tank in this Pick Em although if you wish to play one on Garcia you will have the option of either a x2 a x3 or a x5 - we are keeping all 3 types of multipliers in 2023 although you may have less of em this year so the advice would be to use em a little more sparingly that perhaps you got used to in 2022.

OKay - I reckon that's enough to be getting on with for now and I gotta go anyway cos it's Juniors 15th Birthday today and he just crawled out of bed looking for presents so Ima have to go.

Best of luck gentlemen - and as ever, a pleasure having you with us for another year.

Kind regards

EDIT: And of course as ever a warm welcome to any new or returning players who wish to join us in 2023.

In regards to the multipliers, maybe cap it at around -200? (1/2 UK odds) I think it would still be fair to use them on fighters who are 10/11, 4/5, 4/6 etc as it’s essentially still a 50/50 fight in those cases.

Davis, Dec, Clear, x5

We can't use multipliers on Tank as per the new rule (read above what Koba wrote)... and in any case x5 multipliers are only for underdogs, my friend.
