Of The Year Awards - Discussion


GBK16

Recommended Posts

Since we are nearing the mid way point of the year, I think it is a good time to bring up a discussion regarding the Of The Year awards.

 

Now, this past year we had over 50 different awards, and it covers many areas of the game. Just as a flashback, these were the awards from 2014:

All Weight Class Fighters Of The Year (135 - 265+) - This totals 8 awards

KT Fighter Of The Year

25 Year Old Creation of the Year

Under 25's Island Fighter of the Year

This totals 51 different awards. This is basically a discussion thread where we look at what awards we can take out of this year, and suggestions for any new awards that can be put in.

 

Could we merge some of the awards into one? Maybe one of the awards needs to be split into two to show the diversity?

 

Post your ideas and suggestions below with how to improve the Of The Year awards list.

I think an under 25 yo fighter of the year leaves too big a gap. Maybe a prospect of the year? Maybe restricted by the amount of fights they have had. Under 22 fighter of the year? Need's some fine tuning but i think a prospect of the year could be a nice award. One who hasnt had a load of fights but looks really promising, adds pressure and generates some hype for the fighter, for good or bad lol. It would be cool to look back in a year and say 'Whatshisface deserved the prospect of the year' or 'Uselesscunt failed to live upto it'

How about a special award for like MMAT Life Award :D. Dino wins that one too this year. Managers who are long with the game and i mean long and still do something for/with the community. Are a good read and still active as hell. This might be one that isnt given out each year, more like an award for every other or every 3rd, 4th, 5th Year

An MMA Tycoon Lifetime Achievement award sounds pretty awesome. I think we need some catching up to do with some people on that haha

 

 

 

Then I call bullshit since I made 2! :D

 

I don't think under and over 25 year old Island is needed. I think just having Island fighter of the year is enough.

Only 2 got nominated overall, but I enjoy seeing videos used to hype events or fighters. Beck's use of one to hype his fighter Chris Lancier signing to Havoc 260k is the one I think of most

Prospect of the Year is another good shout. Just like in different sports they have like a "Young Player of the Year" and then you look back to see who succeeds and who fails after being billed as the next big thing.

 

 

Few more maybe,

 

Post of the year. The post that made people laugh the most or what not.

 

Comeback fighter of the year.

I like these two ideas also, but I couldn't personally think of a "Comeback Fighter" so far. The best example ever though would be Jeremy Tonal though.

 

On from the Post of the Year, could also have a Forum Thread of the Year award, just as a way to remember the best threads of each year, and it will be easier for people to look back in years to come and remember them.

Here was my two. I might do a big event or something and throw another one together for it.

But yeah I like all the awards really. I think there's enough that you don't have to add more, and the ones that could be changed are very minimal. All looking solid.

Best New Org Owner of the Year/Best New Org of the Year - Merge

25 Year Old Creation of the Year - Delete, most of the time that will go to an Island fighter.

Under 25's Island Fighter of the Year - Delete, isn't most of the guys created on the Island 25?

Avatar Designer of the Year/Skin Designer of the Year/Poster Designer of the Year - Merge these into designer of the year.
