MMA RULES:
DATE & TIME - Fights must take place within one week of the listed date of the fight or the bout will be graded "no action" (unless otherwise noted). Venue changes within the same country will not affect the status of pending wagers. Venue changes to a different country will result in a grade of "no action" on all pending wagers.
WEIGHT CLASS - If a fight weight class is changed for any reason, this will have no effect on any pending wager status. No wager will be voided based on a weight class change.
ROUND CHANGE - If the number of scheduled rounds in a MMA match is changed or misposted, only the moneyline to win the fight will have action. All fight totals, fight props, exact round of ending, fighter to win inside distance, win by decision, and goes distance props will all be no action if scheduled rounds are changed or misposted.
GRADING - Results will be graded/regraded based on the official result at ringside. A result may be revised or altered after initial presentation by the ring announcer. Results are not official for wagering purposes until verified by officials at the fighting venue. Official or unofficial sanctioning body overturns of a fight decision based on appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug testing result, or any other fighter sanction will not be recognized for wagering purposes.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER - A win by decision is not a win in the final round. For example if round 5 ends of a scheduled 5 round fight and Johnson wins by a decision, Johnson to win in round 5 will be a loser since round 5 ended and Johnson won by a decision.
Bet Definitions and Rules:
INSIDE DISTANCE - A wager on a fighter "Inside Distance" wins if the selected fighter wins by KO, TKO, DQ, submission, or technical decision.
SUBMISSION - A submission is a term for yielding to the opponent, and hence resulting in an immediate defeat. The submission (tap out or tapping out) is often performed by clearly tapping the floor or the opponent with the hand or sometimes with the foot, to signal the opponent and possibly the referee of the submission to end the match. A technical submission is also considered a submission.
KO/TKO - A wager on a fighter to win by "KO/TKO" wins only if the fighter wins by KO, TKO, DQ, or corner stoppage. A win by submission is not considered a KO/TKO in MMA.
UNANIMOUS DECISION - A fighter wins by "Unanimous Decision" when all three judges score him as the winner.
SPLIT DECISION - A fighter wins by "Split-Decision" when two judges score him as the winner and one judge scores the other fighter as the winner.
MAJORITY DECISION - A fighter wins by "Majority Decision" when two judges score him as the winner and one judge scores the fight a draw.
UNANIMOUS DRAW - A fight is a "Unanimous Draw" when all three judges score the fight as a draw.
SPLIT DECISION DRAW - A fight is a "Split-Decision Draw" when one judge scores the fight a draw, one judge scores the fight for one fighter, and one judge scores the fight for the other fighter.
MAJORITY DRAW - A fight is a "Majority Draw" when two judges score the fight a draw and one judge scores the fight for either of the two fighters.
TECHNICAL DRAW - A fight is a "Technical Draw" when a fight ends before an allotted number of rounds (between four to six rounds, depending on sanctioning body rules) usually because of an accidental head-butt.
DRAW OPTION - If the wagering offer on a match includes the draw as a third option and the match ends in a draw, wagers on the draw will be paid, while wagers on either fighter will be lost. If the wagering offer includes only the two boxers, with the draw either not offered or offered as a separate proposition, and the match ends in a draw, wagers on either fighter will be refunded.
