Scoring System
Winner of Fight: 5pts
Method of Victory: 2pts
Round of Victory: 3pts
If you correctly pick the winner, method, and round for a given fight, you receive a 5pt bonus.
If a fight ends in a draw, no contest, or DQ, that fight will be scored as 0pts for all users.
So why is round worth more than method?
The way we see it, method can be "easy" to pick for some fighters. Derrick Lewis is looking to land bombs. Alexey Oleynik wants another Ezekiel choke. Round is less obvious, so we gave a bump in points to it.

Scoring system philosophy
Our goal is to create a scoring system that encourages users to predict the result they think will happen. With that in mind, we kept the point values for decision, KO/TKO, and submission the same to avoid favoring one outcome over the other. If you think the outcome will be decision, we want you to pick that. We don't want you to feel forced to pick 3rd Round submission just because it's worth X more points.
About FightPicks
FightPicks is a fantasy sports mobile app built
just
for fantasy MMA.
We were unhappy with the limited number of fantasy MMA options, so we decided to build our own. When we first began building, we decided to focus on the fundamentals of predictions – winner, method, and round. The FightPicks scoring system is meant to match how fight fans think about fights.
"Conor is going to knock out Khabib in the first round."
"Khabib is going to win by decision."
FightPicks focuses on two main forms of competition: league play with friends and large competitive tournaments. We’ll be adding a third option soon – Head to Head – where users square off against each other 1v1 and submit only their top 5 most confident predictions.
