In the Finals stage ... the championship bout is 12 rounds ... the other bouts are 10 rounds.

Win your map and you win the round (10-9 score in boxing lingo)
A couple special rules ...

But we can get started soon.

Good luck to all.

[flexmaster33]

The opening bouts have been started...sent out the first 4 rounds.
The last four rounds of these bouts will go out sometime early in the week.

Prize money for each of these opening bouts is $1,170,000.

Also note, that the first six bouts for each boxer in Stage 1 have been pre-determined by random draw.

[Craig25]

How about showing the full draw and the current Scoreboard? Your Rules are immense so it would be really cool to see how this Tournament develops blow by blow so to speak.

If you have a Excel, it's easy to put it on a Google Sheet for us all to view M8.

[kongming3]

So how do knockouts work? Do you still play out the other games of the bout? What happens if both boxers were to get a knockout?

[flexmaster33]

So how do knockouts work? Do you still play out the other games of the bout? What happens if both boxers were to get a knockout?

Good question...the first player (by round) to score a KO wins the match.

Win any map in 4 rounds and it's an immediate KO
Win in 5 rounds or less twice and it's a KO in the round where you get your second quick win.
Win in 6 rounds or less three times and it's a KO, also taking effect in the round of that third quick win.

[Craig25]

How come I am playing a RANDOM MAP? I thought My Boxers Map is Italy?
