The Alliance World Championships

[Marky]

OK, I like the idea but I just want to be clear that we're all on the same page.

 

When you say team playoffs are we talking the following scenario...

 

Teams 1-4 qualify for the playoffs. 1 v 4, 2 v 3 face off in semi-final to decide who goes into final.

 

Hypothetically say the teams finish as 1) Stepdads, 2) FinnFighters, 3) YABAI, 4) Heritage

 

The semi-finals would be ALL of the Stepdads fighters facing off against ALL of Heritages and ALL of FinnFighters facing off against ALL of YABAI's REGARDLESS of where their individual team members ended up?

 

I'm assuming the way to decide who moves on and who becomes champion would be the total score of the show down (i.e Stepdads win 3 out of the 5 fights to make it 3-2 against Heritage)?

 

If this is what we're talking about then cool, sounds great and actually adds a lot of excitement to these last remaining rounds as all the lower placed teams have a shot at 4th place

 

If not then someone is going to have to break it down for me lol

 

 

Thaaaat's correct!

 

[Marky]

Awesome, we can go this route but we would need to agree what a tie-breaker would be in case of a 2-2 + a draw result in the semis/final?

 

I would probably suggest the same as the league table. Manner of win (KO/SUB trumps Dec win) then total time of wins combined in that round as last resort.

 

Sounds good, as long as we know the method beforehand it's alright.

[Bleakardor]

Damn, wish I had seen this before. Great idea guys, this should be a reoccurring event.

[Alfred]

Damn, wish I had seen this before. Great idea guys, this should be a reoccurring event.

 

I will be doing another one as soon as this finishes but it'll be a slightly different formula. 18 year old creations and no restrictions on how many from an alliance can enter. I'll explain more nearer the time though.

Alliance World Championship - Round Four Recap

135lbs

1 (1) (YAB) Shu Feng Tzeng (3-1, Fin Win 3, Dec Loss 1 = Points 9)

2 (3) (EE) Evil Empire (2-1, Fin Win 1, Dec Win 1, Fin Loss 1 = Points 4) *Time -00:31

3 (2) (Her) Sergej Tkach (2-1, Fin Win 1, Dec Win 1, Fin Loss 1 = Points 4) *Time -14:31

4 (7) (FF) Urho Viikate (2-2, Fin Win 1, Dec Win 1, Fin Loss 2 = Points 3)

5 (5) (GBU) Randy Rutherford (1-3, Fin Win 1, Dec Loss 2, Fin Loss 1 = Points 2)

6 (4) (TSD) Markus Haland (1-2, Fin Win 1, Fin Loss 2 = Points 1)

7 (6) (CD) Chrollo Lucifer (1-2, Dec Win 1, Dec Loss 1, Fin Loss 1 = Points 1)

(The GBU) Randy Rutherford vs. Evil Empire (Evil Empire)

(Empire def. Rutherford by Unanimous Decision)

Evil Empire managed to take away two points for his alliance after outpointing The GBU’s Randy Rutherford in a Unanimous Decision victory. The win moved Empire up from third into second position in the 135lbs class and also into contention for the group overall. Though five points behind league leader Shu Feng Tzeng, Empire has a fight in hand in which to close that gap.

He will next take on The Stepdads Markus Haland who hasn’t exactly set the tournament alight with buzz but will still likely be a tricky opponent and not to be overlooked.

Randy Rutherford maintains his fifth place position though those underneath him both have a fight in hand over him meaning he could very much find himself scrapping to avoid a bottom place finish if those fighters both get decent results in their next fights. He actually faces one of those very fighters in Cromulent Doom’s Chrollo Lucifer next. Lucifer has a victory over group front runner Shu Feng Tzeng so he is definitely not to be overlooked but Rutherford might just have the wrestling credentials to nullify Lucifer’s BJJ Brown Belt ground game.

(The Stepdads) Markus Haland vs. Shu Feng Tzeng (YABAI)

(Tzeng def. Haland by Sub (Triangle Choke) at 04:57, Rd 2)

YABAI team captain Shu Feng Tzeng captured his third victory of the tournament this time at the expense of The Stepdad’s Markus Haland. Haland, with a tournament record of 1-2, is currently seen to be the least performing member of his alliance though certainly not the worst record amongst others competing.

Tzeng’s second round submission victory gives his alliance some much needed points and keeps him at a comfortable distance at the top from his closest rivals in the group. He will next face Heritage captain Sergej Tkach who up until this round has been performing brilliantly. Still, it should be an interesting match up and definitely a result to keep your eyes on.

For Markus Haland, he drops down from fourth into sixth and technically joint last on points. Still, he has four fights left to go so there is still time to turn things around from here. How much ground he could make up for? I’m not sure but certainly a victory is needed at least to start and that will need to come against The Evil Empire’s Evil Empire who currently resides in second place with a 2-1 record.

(Heritage) Sergej Tkach vs. Urho Viitake (FinnFIghters)

(Viikate def. Tkach by Sub (Brabo Choke) at 02:58, Rd 1)

Heritage team captain Sergej Tkach suffered his first loss of the tournament after getting caught by submission against FinnFighters Urho Viitake.

You have to wonder just how much of that loss is to blame on the fact that Tkach’s manager was absent from the fight and that game planning might not have even been discussed beforehand. Whatever the reason, it was a tough result to swallow and the Heritage man now drops down from second into third and four points behind group leader Shu Feng Tzeng. He will have a chance to potentially cut that lead down to a single point however as he faces Tzeng next in round five. Tzeng will pose many of the same problems as Viitake however so Tkach will need make sure he is properly prepared this time around if he wants the victory.

A nice win for Urho Viitake to both keep his alliance on the heels of The Stepdads and drag himself out from the bottom of the table up into fourth place. With a record of 2-2, Viikate has three fights left and being some six points behind leader Shu Feng Tzeng you would have to say a top place finish is unlikely though not impossible. Viitake will now take some rest during his bye week.

155lbs

1 (1) (TSD) Chubby Funster (3-0, Fin Win 3 = Points 9)

2 (2) (YAB) Maximus Furioto (3-1, Fin Win 3, Fin Loss 1 = Points 8)

3 (3) (FF) Digi Box (3-1, Fin Win 2, Dec Win 1, Fin Loss 1 = Points 7)

4 (5) (CD) Walter Sobchak (1-2, Fin Win 1, Dec Loss 1, Fin Loss 1 = Points 2)

5 (4) (GBU) Stig Statham (1-2, Fin Win 1, Fin Loss 2 = Points 1)

6 (6) (EE) Garth Wader (1-3, Dec Win 1, Fin Loss 3 = Points -1)

7 (7) (Her) so Bitch (0-3, Fin Loss 3 = Points -3)

(YABAI) Maximus Furioto vs. Stig Statham (The GBU)

(Furioto def. Statham by Sub (Triangle) at 04:57, Rd 1)

A solid performance for YABAI’s Maximus Furioto against The GBU’s Stig Statham keeps him in second place and hot on the heels of group leader Chubby Funster.

With a record of 3-1, Furioto has been one of YABAI’s most reliable fighters so far in this tournament and his first round submission victory once again gives his alliance maximum points. Statham could have proved to be a very awkward opponent but Furioto handled him with relative ease. He next faces Cromulent Doom’s Walter Sobchak who is one of a handful of fighters languishing in mid table of the 155lbs class. Furioto should be the strong favourite going in but must make sure not to give way to complacency.

Stig Statham loses a little ground here dropping down from fourth place into fifth with only a single point to his name currently. At 1-2, Statham still has four fights to go so the opportunity to improve is still there but it is going to take some doing to climb up into the top three from here. He will next face The Stepdads Chubby Funster who is amongst a handful of fighters still undefeated so far in this tournament. Statham will be a huge underdog in this fight and in truth, isn’t being given any chance of a good result at all. A very tough match up for him indeed.

(The Stepdads) Chubby Funster vs. Garth Wader (Evil Empire)

(Funster def. Wader by Sub (Triangle) at 02:32, Rd 1)

Chubby Funster maintains his undefeated run in the tournament with a decisive submission victory over Evil Empire team captain Garth Wader. Wader has been frustrating to watch so far as he seems to have a versatile skill set that should make him competitive against any style of opponent but so far he really struggled against the submission fighters of which Funster is among the most impressive.

With the victory, Funster takes a firm stance at the top of the 155 table. Though only one point ahead of his closest rival, he has managed to gain this lead whilst still having one fight less. He faces The GBU’s Stig Statham next and whilst it looks to be something of a mirror match up, Funster will still be the heavy favourite.

For Wader, he has been disappointing for his alliance so far and will no doubt want to finish out his tournament with a bang. He is scheduled to face Heritage’s so Bitch in the next round but unfortunately Bitch seems set to become to first withdrawal from the tournament meaning that Wader will be awarded an automatic three points. With his alliance still in the running for a fourth place spot I’m sure no one from Evil Empire will mind taking a win this way.

(Heritage) so Bitch vs. Digi Box (FinnFighters)

(Box def. Bitch by Sub (Armbar) at 00:29, Rd 1)

After his loss to group leader Chubby Funster, FinnFighters team captain Digi Box was back to winning ways after a submission victory over struggling Heritage fighter so Bitch.

In perhaps one of the most glaring overestimation's at the start of this tournament, so Bitch was actually predicted to have finished second in the group but has so far proven to be far from the competitor that this writer believed. Currently 0-3, it looks as though he is now destined to finish out the tournament without a single win after he yet to sign to face his next round competitor. Having not been heard from by training partners for over a month, we can only surmise that Bitch has walked away.

For Digi Box, the win makes sure he is able to keep his third place spot but more importantly it keeps him in range of group leader Chubby Funster. Box is two points behind as well as a fight behind so he will need to keep winning from here and hope that Funster falters at this point. He is in direct competition with Maximus Furioto for second place however with only a single point between them. He will receive a bye week in Round 5 and so will have a much better understanding of what is required of him when he returns for Round 6.

Bitch was due to face Evil Empire’s Garth Wader but as previously mentioned hasn’t picked up the phone. This is great news for Evil Empire as they very much need those points!

170lbs

1 (3) (TSD) Yaurod Atidibil (4-0, Fin Win 2, Dec Win 2 = Points 10)

2 (1) (YAB) Diego Diaz (3-1, Fin Win 3, Dec Loss 1 = Points 9)

3 (2) (EE) Willy Do (2-1, Fin Win 1, Dec Win 1, Fin Loss 1 = Points 4)

4 (4) (FF) Jesse Ristinen (1-2, Fin Win 1, Dec Loss 1, Fin Loss 1 = Points 2)

5 (6) (Her) Kybeau Ren (1-3, Fin Win 1, Dec Loss 2, Fin Loss 1 = Points 2)

6 (5) (CD) Floki Agard (1-2, Dec Win 1, Fin Loss 2 = Points 0)

7 (7) (GBU) Quannah Parker (0-3, Fin Loss 3 = Points -3)

(Heritage) Kybeau Ren vs. Jesse Ristinen (FinnFighters)

(Ren def. Ristinen by TKO (Strikes) at 01:33, Rd 2)

A massive upset in the Welterweight class as Heritage’s Kybeau Ren defeated FinnFighters Jesse Ristinen by second round TKO. Ren looked great on the feet and punished Ristinen dearly for his failure to get the fight to the ground.

The win moved Ren up a spot into fifth with only two points between him and third place now. Ren is a fight ahead of those other fighters though so would be reliant on them tripping up at some point if he was to eye a third place finish. Regardless, a terrific victory for Ren in this round and perhaps something to capitalise on as he goes into his final two bouts of the qualifying section with the first being against The GBU’s faltering captain Quanah Parker.

For Ristinen, the loss would have surely been felt by his alliance who chase the Stepdads for the top spot as a fight that was very much seen as a “gimme” for the stronger team. Pretty much out of the running for the first or second spot, he could still make a push for his predicted third place finish with a strong end to this qualifying phase. He faces Cromulent Doom’s Floki Agard next in a match up that could prove tricky.

(Cromulent Doom) Floki Agard vs. Yaurod Atidibil (The Stepdads)

(Yaurod def. Agard by TKO (Strikes) at 01:20, Rd 1)

No surprises as The Stepdads Yaurod Aitdibil dominated Cromulent Doom’s Floki Agard inside of two minutes with Agard seeming powerless against the clinch game of Atidibil.

Another confident performance from the 170lb Group leader who maintains a one point lead over closest rival Diego Diaz. Atidibil next faces Evil Empire’s Willy Do who had been in great form up until this round. Regardless, Atidibil will come in as the heavy favourite and with such an advantage in the wrestling could easily overwhelm Do in the clinch as he has done he tonight.

A tough loss for Agard but likely not surprising for his or his alliance. He drops down from fifth into sixth though still three points clear of last place Quanah Parker. A chance for Agard to pick up some essential points for his alliance in the next round perhaps as he faces FinnFighers Jesse Ristenen who hasn’t quite lived up to expectations so far. Both ground fighters predominantly, Ristenen looks to have an advantage in key areas but Agard has a win over YABAI’s Diego Diaz. Should definitely be a fight to keep an eye on

(Evil Empire) Willy Do vs. Diego Diaz (YABAI)

(Diaz def. Do by Sub (Kimura) at 00:45, Rd 1)

A tough result for Evil Empire’s Willy Do who loses for the first time in this tournament. It was YABAI’s Diego Diaz that handed it to him as he punished the strikers weaker grappling skills.

The win was much needed for Diaz as it meant that he keeps the pressure on group leader Yaurod Atidibil. Only one point separates him from first place and with that show down still to come. Next up however he will get to rest up as he takes a 5th Round bye.

For Do it is hoped that this loss wasn’t a foreshadowing of results to come as his alliance face crunch time in the race to qualify via the fourth place spot. Do drops down from second now into third and is now firmly in the middle of the pack in terms of points. His next opponent will be group leader Yaurod Atidibil and not many would be giving him much of a chance in this one. If he can somehow keep it at range and stay away from Atidibil’s powerful clinch game then he has a chance but so far no one has been able solve that puzzle.

205lbs

1 (3) (TSD) Hamza Demirovic (3-0, Fin Win 2, Dec Win 1 = Points 8) *Time -04:41

2 (2) (FF) Kake Randelin (3-0, Fin Win 2, Dec Win 1 = Points 8) *Time -06:35

3 (4) (GBU) Zane Alexander (3-1, Fin Win 3, Dec Loss 1 = Points 8)

4 (1) (Her) Furious Panda (3-1, Fin Win 2, Dec Win 1, Fin Loss 1 = Points 7)

5 (7) (YAB) Gerhard Smakatron (0-3, Dec Loss 1, Fin Loss 2 = Points -2)

6 (6) (CD) Yadeep Singh (0-4, Dec Loss 2, Fin Loss 2 = Points -2)

7 (5) (EE) Finn Vernon (0-3, Fin Loss 3 = Points -3)

(Cromulent Doom) Yadeep Singh vs. Kake Randelin (FinnFighters)

(Randelin def. Singh by Unanimous Decision)

There were no major changes in the fortunes of these two fighters as Cromulent Doom team captain Yadeep Singh slumped to his fourth loss in a row whilst FinnFighters Kake Randelin continued his pursuit of the top spot after racking up his third victory of the tournament and continuing his undefeated streak.

For Yadeep Singh so far, it’s been a campaign of disappointment. Any tournament with a group phase will always have what is dubbed the “group of death” and there is no question that the light-heavyweight class is that group. It’s unfortunate that Singh has found himself within that company and goes a long way to explain his current form, however, it is never acceptable to a fighter to go an entire tournament without picking up at least some points and for that Singh is running out of time. He next faces YABAI’s team captain Gerhard Smakatron who is also still searching for his first win. Smakatron is currently one spot ahead of Singh with a fight in hand. It’ll likely be another tough fight but at least he will have the opportunity to scrap it out instead of being taken down.

For Kake Randelin, every point counts at this time as he chases the number one spot. Maintaining his second place position, Randelin is actually tied for points with top placed Hamza Demirovic and separated only by virtue of time spent in the cage. With Zane Alexander and Furious Panda snapping at his heels too, the pressure is definitely on and we will get to who can handle to heat over the next few rounds. Next up Randelin faces struggling Evil Empire fighter Finn Vernon who currently sits in bottom place. Randelin will go in as the favourite as Vernon has been in terrible form of late.

(Evil Empire) Finn Vernon vs. Zane Alexander (The GBU)

(Alexander def. Vernon by TKO (Strikes) at 03:51, Rd 1)

Since his opening round loss to Kake Randelin, The GBU’s Zane Alexander has managed to turn things around and is pretty much the man who is keeping his alliances tournament hopes alive with his maximum point victories. His win over struggling Evil Empire fighter Finn Vernon here gains him another jump in the table and now he currently sits in third place and tied on points with the number one and two fighters of the group. Alexander is a fight ahead of those above however so he will need them to slip up at some point if he is to overtake but it certainly ins’t a bad position to be in at this point of the tournament. In the next round he will have an opportunity to take out one of those ahead of him in the form of The Stepdads Hamza Demirovic. Demirovic has looked phenomenal so far at 3-0 and after seeing what he did to Furious Panda who is similar to Alexander, it is hard to see how The GBU man can overcome. Definitely a fight to watch in this weight class

For Finn Vernon he now drops down into last place and still searches for his first win of the tournament. He next faces FinnFighters second place Kake Randelin in what is likely to be another tough time in the cage. Results are ever more important from this point however and if Evil Empire are going to snatch a last minute playoff spot then points are going to need to come from fights like these.

(The Stepdads) Hamza Demirovic vs. Furious Panda (Heritage)

(Demirovic def. Panda by TKO (Strikes) at 01:43, Rd 1)

A sad day for Heritage as their fighter Furious Panda’s surprising run at the top of the light-heavyweight class came to an abrubt halt at the hands of The Stepdads Hamza Demirovic. Demirovic showed no mercy as he battered Panda inside the clinch and thwarted all attempts at getting the fight on the ground where Panda is most dangerous.

With the victory Demirovic was able to take the top spot and with four fights still left to go, that is a great position to be in indeed. Still, the top of the 205lbs division is absolutely stacked at the moment with four fighters all within easy reach of each other. The pressure is definitely on Demirovic to keep his undefeated streak going as a single mistake would likely result in losing the top spot. He very next fight would bring about such a result should he not be able to perform as he has done as he faces The GBU’s Zane Alexander who has been surging up the table since his opening round loss to Kake Randelin. Still, Demirovic is likely to be seen as the favourite going into this but all eyes should definitely be on this match up in the next round.

A massive drop from first place into fourth for Heritage’s Furious Panda but still within touching distance of a shock division win. Panda will now get to rest up and reflect on the loss as he makes use of a fifth round bye week and when he comes back he’ll have a much better idea of his chances in the group

265lbs

1 (1) (TSD) Bubba Wallace (4-0, Fin Win 4 = Points 12)

2 (2) (FF) Markku Innanen (3-0, Fin Win 3 = Points 9)

3 (5) (EE) Dick Glover (2-2, Fin Win 2, Fin Loss 2 = Points 4)

4 (3) (CD) Anton Gardner (1-2, Fin Win 1, Fin Loss 2 = Points 1) *Time -00:09

5 (6) (Her) Gwart Bartem (1-2, Fin Win 1, Fin Loss 2 = Points 1) *Time -00:26

6 (4) (GBU) Daffy Duck (1-2, Fin Win 1, Fin Loss 2 = Points 1) *Time -03:55

7 (7) (YAB) Francisco Baroza (0-4, Fin Loss 4 = Points -4)

(The Stepdads) Bubba Wallace vs. Daffy Duck (The GBU)

(Wallace def. Duck by TKO (Strikes) at 01:55, Rd 1)

The Stepdads Bubba Wallace took a step closing to the division championship with his fourth win of the tournament this time over The GBU’s Daffy Duck. It was also Wallace’s fourth first round KO in a row and so far no one has come close to upsetting this run.

Wallace is now three points ahead at the top but also a fight ahead. His closest rival is FinnFighters Markku Innenen and that fight takes place in this upcoming round. Needless to say this is a collasal showdown for both fighters. A win for Wallace would put him a hair’s breadth away from being crowned as group champion whilst a loss would leave him chasing Innenen and needing him to make a mistake.

The second loss in a row for Daffy Duck now after a good start to proceedings puts him at 1-2 and also drops him from fourth down into sixth. Currently joint on a single point with the fifth and fourth place fighters, Duck sill has plenty of time left to finish in a decent position but any aspirations of topping the group and now largely over. He next faces Heritages Gwart Bartem who is coming off of a superb victory over YABAI’s Francisco Baroza. Possibly a tough fight for the GBU fighter as Bartem looks to be evolving at a slightly accelerated pace compared to many of the other fighters but definitely not unwinnable.

(Heritage) Gwart Bartem vs. Francisco Baroza (YABAI)

(Bartem def. Baroza by Sub (Kimura) at 00:26, Rd 1)

Due to Francisco Baroza’s tournament form so far the result of this bout can’t truly be called an upset but honestly, the result shocked the hell out of me as I doubt many gave Heritage’s Gwart Bartem any chance of victory over the might of YABAI.

The victory would surely be appreciated by his fellow alliance mates as Heritage work hard to secure the fourth and final play off spot. In terms of personal glory, Bartem moves up from sixth into forth and is currently joined by two others on the exact points, wins and losses. The only thing separating them being time and this result for Bartem would have contributed heavily. He next faces Daffy Duck of whom is one of those fighters he is currently tied with. A good result could potentially move him as high as third so long as results elsewhere go his way and in all honestly, Bartem just might be the slight favourite going into this one.

YABAI’s Francisco Baroza maintains his last place position and in truth has been a drain on YABAI’s tournament campaign though he certainly isn’t the only one failing to live up to expectations. Two fights left for Baroza to get some points on the board with his next fight coming up against Cromulent Doom’s fourth place Anton Gardner. On paper Baroza looks like he should have the skills to take this but going by current form this is going to be another tough fight for him

(Cromulent Doom) Anton Gardner vs. Dick Glover (Evil Empire)

(Glover def. Gardner by TKO (Strikes) at 01:09, Rd 3)

A splendid result for the peoples champion Dick Glover as he helped his Evil Empire alliance conquer the despicable Cromulent Doom and their fighter Anton Gardner.

There is only so much a man can take after being cheated out of wins time and time again and Glover has clearly had enough after managing to turn around some bad results at the start of the tournament.

Glover now moves up into third place from fifth though in truth has little chance of catching up with those that wronged him earlier in the tournament. He will have time to prepare for his next bout as he enjoys some rest and relaxation during his bye week.

For Anton Gardner, he was powerless to resist the righteous fury of Evil Empire as they come ever closer to absolute glory and a clean 5-0 sweep over the bastards of Cromulent Doom. A chance to redeem himself however as he faces 0-4 Francisco Baroza in the next round. A good result could even see him overtake Glover once again.

Good luck in the next round everyone!

5^th Round Prediction Competition

Time for another prediction prize seeing as the last one was so popular. 100k to everyone who can predict the winners of all five fights.

135lbs

(YABAI) Shu Fang Tzeng (3-1) vs. (2-1) Sergej Tkach (Heritage)

A chance for Tkach to go one point behind group leader Tzeng who cannot be ousted from the top spot this round.

Tkach one fight behind Tzeng so a win here would put him in a great position going into last couple of rounds.

155lbs

(Cromulent Doom) Walter Sobchak (1-2) vs. (3-1) Maximus Furioto (YABAI)

Walter Sobchak currently in forth but a long way from third. Mainly fighting for his alliance who are in desperate need of points.

Maximus Furioto chasing the top spot but a fight behind. Needs a good result here to keep pressure on group leader Chubby Funster

170lbs

(The GBU) Quanah Parker (0-3) vs. (1-3) Kybeau Ren (Heritage)

Parker still searching for first win and is currently bottom and three points off of closest rival. Could possibly move up however with a good perfect result here and elsewhere.

Ren in fifth place and could move as high as third with a good result. Only two fights left for him.

205lbs

(The GBU) Zane Alexander (3-1) vs. (3-0) (Hamza Demirovic (The Stepdads)

Demirovic in top spot but joint on points and fights with FinnFighters Kake Randelin who also fights this round. Separated only by time, Demirovic will need to maintain his unbeaten run if he is to remain number one.

Zane Alexander has been main breadwinner for his alliance and they will be relying on him here once more. Adding to the pressure of this bout is also a chance to take the top spot for himself with some favourable results and deal arch rivals The Stepdads a big blow to their playoff seeding.

265lbs

(FinnFighters) Markku Innanen (3-0) vs. (4-0) Bubba Wallace (The Stepdads)

Without a doubt the fight to watch this round. Two undefeated fighters from two alliances battling to finish first for the favourable first seed!

Bubba Wallace currently three points ahead but with a fight in hand. A loss here would succeeding the top spot to his opponent here.

Markky Innanen in second place and so much riding one this result both for himself and his alliance.

Hey guys. Have a bit of a dilemma here and looking for feedback from the alliances involved.

 

It looks as though Heritage have a man down and as the manager in question hasn't logged in for over a month, it's not looking likely he will be back anytime soon. The rules were clear from the start as to what happens with the remainder of his group fights. It goes down as an automatic maximum point win for his opponent and a finish loss for himself. The remaining group stage isn't a problem, it's what comes after.

 

Currently Heritage occupy the fourth and final qualifying play-off spot. Obviously things can change massively (especially as they will be taking a guaranteed loss each round from here) but the question remains about what should happen if they do qualify. Should they be forced to fight on with a man down and suffer the consequences or should they be allowed to bring in an alternative and if so, what would the stipulations of that be?

 

Personally, I am of the opinion that they should be allowed to draft an alternative manager who could create a fighter on the final group round should Heritage qualify for the next round. He would then have three weeks to train until his first fight. Not much time for anything but a fighting chance none the less.

 

I've not spoken to Humours about this so I'm not even sure what he would want to do should this situation arise but I just wanted some input from those involved and especially those taking part in the 155lbs division.

 

Also, does anyone know how trophies work? As there's not going to be any championship belts, I'd like to look into getting a trophy for the winning alliance members?

 

Cheers guys

He would then have three weeks to train until his first fight. Not much time for anything but a fighting chance none the less.

 

I've not spoken to Humours about this so I'm not even sure what he would want to do should this situation arise but I just wanted some input from those involved and especially those taking part in the 155lbs division.

 

Also, does anyone know how trophies work? As there's not going to be any championship belts, I'd like to look into getting a trophy for the winning alliance members?

 

Cheers guys

 

I personally couldn't care less.

Hey guys. Have a bit of a dilemma here and looking for feedback from the alliances involved.

 

It looks as though Heritage have a man down and as the manager in question hasn't logged in for over a month, it's not looking likely he will be back anytime soon. The rules were clear from the start as to what happens with the remainder of his group fights. It goes down as an automatic maximum point win for his opponent and a finish loss for himself. The remaining group stage isn't a problem, it's what comes after.

 

Currently Heritage occupy the fourth and final qualifying play-off spot. Obviously things can change massively (especially as they will be taking a guaranteed loss each round from here) but the question remains about what should happen if they do qualify. Should they be forced to fight on with a man down and suffer the consequences or should they be allowed to bring in an alternative and if so, what would the stipulations of that be?

I'd would vote fight on with a man down. Wouldn't mind if there was a replacement though if that's the way to go.

In my opinion it is simple, if they cannot complete the tournament for whatever reason, then they should not be allowed to continue and the (the alliance) should be replaced with 5th place. Unless it was specified in the rules that a replacement is allowed, then they should not be able to continue. It is the same with a tournament where there is no alternate / replacement specified, in those cases the next ranked gets in as a replacement. It may sound harsh, but that is the consequence of choosing potentially inactive members to be part of your team. Activity is one of the key criteria's of a good team.

No matter what we do at this point its anyway loss. Fighters have already good physicals etc, so new fighter has huge unadvatage already.

Either just autoloss for that fighter every round or if someone really wants to replace that fighter, its totally fine for me.

 

In this tournament theres strikers that do 100% takedowns and grapplers that dont even try takedowns, so one missing fighter is nothing.

Ok then. Seems like the way to go is let Heritage carry on should they qualify but with a man down. I don't want to disqualify them outright from moving on as that doesn't seem fair to the rest of the team but Mentor does make a good point about the consequences of choosing potentially inactive members to the team. A man down is punishment enough I guess.

Could have a possible 2nd issue

I think that's just Humours? He'll log in closer to the time to accept fights. He's gone yellow inactive a couple times during the tournament

Just noticed he's recently logged onto his main. All his accounts hadn't logged in last time I looked. Thought he'd at least log in to fix morale.
