bestever Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Pride Memorial King of the Mountain Tournament Seeing as I haven’t had time to do any podcasting, I have been thinking and I am strongly considering a rebrand of Pride in January. Same structure and style org but with my own logo and belt scheme and such. Along with that thought process, I feel the best way to memorialize the Pride Naming scheme is to conduct a best on best grand tournament. I have reached out privately prior to posting this to several orgs and all framework is tentative at this stage. Rules: 8 or 16 Man 185+ Open ID Tourney (depending on interest and participation) Round of 16 and/or Round of 8 3 x 5 minutes Final 4 and Finals 5 x 5 Minimum weight: 185 LBS and up Open to all eligible fighters and Orgs Orgs have the right to decline participation or choose fighters themselves for selection (with manager approval to participate). See Org List below. Alternate Slots may be required in case of manager inactivity Minimum 300 P4P or better required on date of entry (best on best tournament, The highest 8 ranked participants will be chosen to begin) All Contracts will be 4 fights 1/1/1 265+ All participating non-Pride fighters will be released after 1 tournament loss 3 week period between rounds Planned Start Date 8th January 2020 Signup Deadline December 22nd 2019 (participating fighters must be available for loan by this date) Prizes (MINIMUM VALUE) 1st Prize: 1.5 million direct manager transfer + 750k to the winning fighters org + TBD Sponsor Swag 2nd prize: 750k + 300k + Swag 25k fight bonuses for quickest finish each round Values above assume a 3 round 8 fighter setup, the more fighter participation and Company sponsorship we receive, the bigger the planned payouts at all levels. Participating Orgs Pride Empyrean CEC Syn (tentatively) Both GAMMA and Pulse were consulted and politely declined tournament participation for their fighters. Participating Managers BillyA (likely Akoni Gray) Camara (Chris Steve) Rei (Benson Whyte) TJMitchell (Likely Luc Gagnon) Action Jackson (Latrobe Arundel) Power Shark (Rick Piano) Jax Stark (Corban Storm) Louie Depalma (Latka Gravas) Alternates?

bestever Posted December 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Power Shark (Rick Piano) and Jax Stark (Corban Storm) have shown interest privately as well. Putting us at 9 interested managers. 8 + 1 alternate. Not sure if 16 looks realistic or not but I will certainly increase incentives and payouts if we get there. 3 weeks till signup cutoff.
