UFC party pick 'em sheet/contest?

[MMA Gongshow]

I'm hosting about a dozen people for UFC 171.

I'm looking to do some kind of pick 'em contest for a couple bucks. I'm trying to find the best way to do this... as far as point values for picking the winner/round/and method of victory.

Anyone hosted some type of pick em thing like this and found a good method??

Do a sheet with all the fights. You get 5 points for picking the winner plus 3 for picking the method I.e. Ko/sub/Dec.. plus 2 point for picking the round.

You only get method and round points if you got the correct winner. Total of ten points per fight. Have everybody throw in a few bucks. Good fun.

I've seen scores from low 20s up to mid 80s.

I like it. My only question....If you pick a decision....Do you get the 5 pts for method and round? or just the 3 pts for method?

I'd say just 3 since decisions are more common. Higher risk and also reward (possible 5 over 3) for predicting a finish

We do 3 for method and 2 for round still so a correct Dec is still 10 points. That's where the strategy comes in...kos in the 3rd are uncommon, but not a bad pick because a ko in 1 nets you 8, and a decision nets you 7...me and a few friends do these sheets for the whole years worth of fights.

And until the recent decision lull, picking all decisions would have lost you a lot

This is how we do it.
