The Synchronicity Millionaires Tournament

For the first time, world-leading organisation Synchronicity is running a tournament to see who is the best of the best in the MMA Tycoon world. The first prize for this tournament is going to be an incredible ONE MILLION DOLLARS!! This is to ensure that this tournament truly is the best of the best of both fighters and managers.

 

The tournament will involve 32 fighters, at a semi-open weight, accepting all fighters who can weight cut to a maximum of 205 lbs. Rounds will be 3 weeks apart, so injury is not a factor. These 32 fighters will be selected based on their p4p rankings at the time of application.

 

However, if you have an untested project fighter who is not high enough on the p4p ranks to qualify in the top 32 entrants, you can elect to pay an entrance fee of $50k to ensure a place in the 32 fighters selected. Fighters entered in such a way will be entered in the bottom part of the bracket, with the last fighter entered this way taking position 32. At least half of the entrants will be chosen based solely on p4p ranking.

 

The tournament will be started in late October, giving managers plenty of time to make their intention to join known, and to arrange contract release with the fighter’s current organisation. To help negotiate this release, Synchronicity makes an undertaking that once a fighter has completed their participation in the tournament, they will be released if the manager requests it. Equally, if the manager wishes for his fighter to stay with Synchronicity, a contract can be negotiated.

 

For interested managers, make your intention to join known here, or send a PM to Paul Keating or Franky Fin. Good luck and I hope to see your fighters in the SynCity cage!

 

For more details see the rules listed below.

 

 

 

Tournament Rules & Details

 

1. The Syn Millionaire Tourney will have a one million dollar first prize. The million dollar prize can be paid in a form the winning manager requests.

2. Semi-open weight, max weight (after cutting) is 205lbs.

3. Thirty-two fighters will be selected for the tourney, as well as two alternates. These are not expected to be needed unless a manager pulls out or becomes inactive.

4. Fighters will be selected by pound-for-pound ranking, based on the ranking recorded when the application is received. Tourney brackets will be arranged based on the same pound-for-pound ranking.

5. However, if a fighter wishes to be part of the tournament but does not rank in the top 32 p4p fighters, that fighter’s manager can elect to pay a $50k entrance fee to ensure a place in the tournament. Fighters who are looking like they will not qualify will be notified at least one week before the closure of applications. We will be aiming for early October, but it will depend on the number of applicants.

6. The initial matchups will be on the basis of number 1 vs number 32, number 2 vs number 31, etc.

7. All competitors will be signed for 1 / 5k / 5k for 5 fights. If a competitor is eliminated he will be released if requested.

8. First round will be the weekend of October 30

9. Second round will be 3 weeks later to avoid injury problems, on the weekend of November 20

10. Third round will be the weekend of December 11

11. NCs will cause the fighter to be instantly disqualified from the tournament, and the offending manager set on fire :-P Synchronicity recommends the use of the “Book Flights” feature to ensure your fighter makes it to Las Vegas at the right time.

12. If a manager wishes to move their fighter to LV for the duration of the tournament, a training place can be arranged at elite gym The Beez Nest

[Guest]

I think Jerry may want a part of this, world's baddest man sounds like a title he would love to own, we will have to see

[Guest]

John Smith is in, dont be scared.

[Guest]

It's not really the baddest man in the world if there's a weight limit...

[Guest]

Awww.... I'd love to be in this but don't have anyone free or good enough. Gutted.

[MrCee]

Gotta agree with Opa, go openweight all the way

[djohn]

If you go open weight all the way it's going to turn into a strictly HW and SHW tourney, all the little guys will back out.

 

As it is it's prolly going to be a buncha MW and LH's.
