iLuke92 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi all, Im thinking of going down the route of having my own org for a change are KT/Grappling orgs any good? Im thinking of making a different org that may not be as popular especially grappling. What are your thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzy1051 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I just developed a KT org, its a little slow but i feel that it could be good once i get enough fighters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLuke92 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 im thinking of going grappling only to test the waters with it, but i would like to here peoples opinions and where they think one should be located first lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwynd Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Location doesn't really matter at the moment since Mike turned off locations, but you need to have lots of money to send out contracts and book venues etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 turned off locations? erm... how much we talking? ive got 1.5mill to burn That would be absolutely plenty. More than enough to get going. Also the location is just flavour at the moment so whatever is your favourite really. The biggest problem with KT/Grappling that I've heard is that the tycoon tools helper doesn't work. That thing is very helpful and I can't imagine running an org without it. Also, just my opinion but with the lack of managers and fighters available I would definitely consider just concentrating on 2 or 3 divisions and perhaps even doubling them up. For instance 135/144, 170/185 etc. Nothing worse than having only 6 or 7 fighters in each division. It's boring for the fighters having to fight the same people over and over and makes it difficult for matchmaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamesnoopy Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I ran a KT / grappling org for a while there. It was fun, just not enough kickboxers to have two fully fleshed out orgs. The tycoon helper not working for KT & grappling is a bummer, but it's not anything you can't figure out on your own. I especially wouldn't recommend a grappling org, as you can't even search for/sort fighters via grappling hype and most fighters don't even have any. For both types, as they're specialty orgs, recruiting is a pain. Most managers have absolutely zero interest in doing KT, and very few dedicate a slot for a kickboxer or a grappler in the first place. Running an org takes a lot of effort, and expect to put in extra work simply because it's a KT or a grappling org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imcool Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Id like to see an open ID KT org personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLuke92 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 So a normal org is much better? All the write ups etc do I have to be good for that do like event reviews previews etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwang Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 You don't need to do write ups and previews etc, they are nice but not essential. A smooth well run org with good matchmaking, regular fights, and a slow steady increase in the org in terms of the roster, the arenas and the wages, and that's enough. Personally I would like a grappling org. You could run some weight classes as open ID and some as restricted ID. I've had success in MMA and KT, I'd like to be able to dedicate a couple of fighters to climbing the grappling rankings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLuke92 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 The issue I could have is the number of grappling fighters to recruit as well, depends how many would be willing to join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffMinion Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 The game is in desperate need of an open id Grappling org. I've got two fighters that could join after TWGC finishes & another after his contract finishes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwynd Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 turned off locations? erm... how much we talking? ive got 1.5mill to burn Should be plenty. So a normal org is much better? All the write ups etc do I have to be good for that do like event reviews previews etc? Also you can often find people willing to do write-ups, rankings and other fun things like that for a weekly fee. There are some good writers out there that would step up if you started a thread to that effect. You could also send a mass e-mail out to all the managers in your org once you're up and running to let them know and you can find writers that way too.

jsdaugh Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I did a few KT events, with some highly ranked p4p kickboxer and lost money, the tycoon tools didn't help and so I gave up on it. I had more success with grappling and made decent profit with experienced grapplers on the cards. May do some more in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLuke92 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 How much would I need to start up with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamesnoopy Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I literally only lost money with my first KT event, when I started from scratch. Everything else was profit. With grappling events I think I lost money on the first two, then started to break even and finally started to make money. As for how much money you need to spend, $400-500K should do. This way you can send out a lot of contracts (pending contract proposals take away a lot of the org money), hire arenas for your shows and prepare for the possible rocky start you might have.
