How do you decide OTN Awards?

[tp61503]

Hey i was just current how you guys decide awards, also how do you guys prefer your org owners to decide the awards?

 

Personally i always handed out post fight awards to the Fastest KO/SUB, and the highest rated long last fight for FOTN. (except rare special circumstances like TDPW)

 

That is also how i prefer org owners to do it, its more unbiased IMO.

I usually go by fight rating. It's a good way to reward more exciting fighters.

 

Other ways I judge are based on suprise finishes IE: Striker getting a Sub, and vice versa.

 

ocassionaly i'll go based on the technique used. Superman punches, spinning back fists. etc..

[Guest]

For KO/Sub, I use many factors together. Head kicks, flying knees and superman punches clearly beat out regular punches. Heel hooks and americanas beat RNC and guillotine. Speed is also a factor. If you finish really fast, that is impressive. A comeback sub or KO gets rewarded. If someone is kicking your ass and you land a monster shot out of nowhere, you get rewarded for it.

 

For fight of the night, I look at the fight stats far more than fight rating. Fight rating is horribly skewed in favor of standup fighting, so I look at close, competitive fights with lots of action. I usually choose something that went to the judges or at least made it into the third round.

 

Whether it is fair or not, I also take a look at the managers of the fighters when I have a hard time deciding. A noob who is struggling to get money will appreciate it a lot more than a vet with a mil in his manager account. It isn't a major factor, but more of a tie breaker.

I go with the fastest KO and Fastest Sub and as for the fight of the night I go with the highest rated fight that was the closest scored ie 29-30 or if a fighter got rocked then came back to win the decision.

I always went with the fastest, most impressive sub or knockout. Meaning if there were two KO's on a card and one was 1:31 into the first and was rated 84% and the other was at 4:54 into the second but rated 100% I would give OTN award to the second rounder based on it being the higher ranked overall fight. That being said the old come from behind sub/knockout almost always trumped any others on the card.

 

For Fight of the Night I always tried to select one that was a decision if possible but a close back and forth decision that either guy could've won. If not that it was usually the longest, highest rated fight on the card.

Hope Jug changes his criteria... Still can't believe Ken Oath didn't get KO of the night on the EVO: Legends card after he won via a slam.

When I ran my org(s) I went with:

 

1. Upset wins or finishes

2. Flashy finishes (slams, spinning shit, rare subs etc)

3. For FOtN I always looked for wars and the level of the fight (ME / co-ME) was a factor aswell

4. Fight Ratings

[TheMould]

In my opinion since I don't run a org;

FOTN: fight rating - if tied fight length, If both went the distance I'd give to the 2 fighters with the lower pay check.

 

I think KO/SUB is more controversial but it should be;

1. Flavour text - flying knee more impressive than one punch

2. How the fight went prior - was it a early finish (early first round), did the winning fighter make a comeback after getting battered for two rounds or did the KO/SUB come out of nowhere (i.e. flash finish)

3. Context of the Fight - was one fighter heavy underdog or were they evenly matched.

4. Fight rating - ONLY if nothing separated two choices above, as I feel the overall fight should have little-to-nothing to do with the KO/SUB awards, it's an award for a finish not for the overall fight - that's why you have a FOTN award too!

This is something that I've always wondered because some of my fighters seem to pick up Of The Night awards quite regularly while others who I think deserve an award never receive one

[ludovik]

I take a look at the whole event and imagine how the fights played out. Which fight was more impressive and well fought (Stats here are a good factor to analyze as well). About KO or Subs, I see how the fight was going... Was a great finish? A rare/different than usual? Quick or last seconds? Comeback or domination? All that stuff plays as factors for me to pick a prize.

I would think 100% for FOTN

 

One punch KO or a pure KO over TKO. Flavour text i think should play a part.

 

Same with a sub i think it should be based off of flavour text

This is something I've always wondered about as well.
It's especially disheartening when one of your fighters had the very definition of a legendary fight, but then the org owner doesn't hand out any awards at all for the event.
I've also grown mildly suspicious towards these awards when I saw that some org owners hand these out to their own fighters that fight in their own org.

1. Style (Spinners, knees, supermans, TDPW and stuff)

2. Fight rating

3. Time

[coton81]

For ko i went with what ko finish i liked the best the flashier the better mind you a head kick would win most of the time

Same for sub of the night

 

If there was more than 1 sub or ko and i couldnt choose between em id go with highest rated fight

 

And fotn would b highest rated fight if more than one had a high rating i read pbp and go with the one that impressed me

I read the text of the finish to decide the KO and Sub of the night bonuses.

 

For Fight of the Night, I look to see which fights were 100%, if there is a 3 round fight that is 100% they usually win. If there are not any 100% then I take all the fights and give them an extra 10% for each round that is finished, so 3 rounds get 30%extra, 2 gets 20 and 1 gets 10. If it is finished in the first round then it gets 5% extra. Highest wins for me
