Okay gentlemen, back by popular demand ..or something.. we have the first UPCOMING thread of 2020. For those who weren't around for the 2018/9 pick ems we ran (a bit sporadically) threads in both years which would serve the dual purpose of both notifying the players of which fights were likely to be included in the following months pick 'em games and also to allow players some kind of input in deciding which fights they wanted in the game. Although we weren't particularly consistent with it (it was mainly just in a few of the summer months) I believe it was successful enough that it should be a continuing feature of the game.
In general major title fights, fights involving anyone widely held as a top P4Per, fights between two fighters both ranked in the top 10 (per TBRB/Ring/Boxrec) and all other fights of major public interest will be included in the game, but there's always going to be many borderline fights, maybe between guys a little further down the rankings or between less well known fighters or step up fights for hot prospects which don't fit these croiteria but may still be of interest to many players. Players will be given the option of voting whether to include a selection of such fights in the game. Polls will be public, though only votes of current PICK EM players will be counted, and multiple choice, so you can vote for as many of the fights on offer as you wish or vote for the 'none' option if such is your preference.
OK so the fights on this thread will in fact start on the 30th of January - an early weekend. Fights on the following list in BLACK lettering will be included in the PICK EM game, fights in RED lettering will be put to the poll for players to vote upon:
POLL IS MULTIPLE CHOICE.
20/01/30
20/01/31
20/02/02
20/02/08
20/02/14
20/02/15
20/02/22
20/02/29
The Wilder - Fury undercard is yet TBA but obviously inclusion will depend on the quality of any fights involved, also, obviously we are not responsible for any changes in scheduling or cancellations etc, though we will do our best to work with any such changes.
If there are any fights which have not been included in the list which you would particularly like to see in the game, please post your interest in the thread below.
In general we will work on the basis of fights being included if they reach a simple majority (over 50%) of votes cast by current PICK EM players - ie those with their name on the leaderbord. For instance if 19 players vote any fight that receives 10 or more votes will be included in the game.
OK gentlemen, I think that's about it. Please make your feelings known, after all this is all about naking the NSB PICK EM the kind of game that you enjoy and including the fights you want to see in as much as possible.
Regards

EDIT: Oh, and please accept my apologies for the misspelling of Michal Cieslak's name on the poll.
If the mods will sticky this thread and unstick the NEW PLAYERS WELCOME thread it'd be much appreciated.
