    My only beef regarding a tournament is that it would favor the best managers out there. If you want everyone to have equal chances, it's not a good option IMHO.

  3. Manta
    Indeed... Thanks for the 400k, Uncle Don!

    An error on a stoppage this time : http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=720037 Official time of the stoppage is 4:56, but according to the commentary the 4 minutes mark hasn't been reached.

    If it can make this more understandable, here's how I see it : For Machida / Dollaway for example, I felt that i really knew what they were both capable of... Win or loose, Machida has never surprised anyone for years. He never comes out of shape, and at this point we know what kind of fighters he will have difficulties against, and Dollaway is not one of these fighters. I went something like 85 or 90% in prediction AND confidence. Now let's take Shogun VS Ovince St Preux. Before the fight, most of us saw Rua as a pretty big favourite. I probably went 70 or 75 % in his favor for the prediction. That said, he's been inconsistent for years now, often injured, and we all know that he doesn't train as seriously as he should. I knew OSP since the Strikeforce days and he has never really impressed me, but on the other hand I felt like at his age, he could have some potential we haven't seen yet. For those reasons my confidence was lower than my prediction, probably around 50%. Same goes for Bendo, for different reasons, regardless of the opponent, he often gets himself into very controversial decision that could have gone either way. This is just his style. Regardless of how good he his, i'll always tend to lower my confidence a little. For "littler" fights, my confidence is also lowered : Since I don't know the fighters as well as Bendo, Shogun or Machida and co., I'll probably rely more on their last performances and the few memories I have about them. Of course, I refrain myself from making a pick if I barely know the guys involved in the fight. Basically (and others may have adifferent way to use these sliders), here's how I see it : Prediction : What I think should happen. Confidence : A ponderation based on my knowledge of the fighter(s), how consistent I think he is... to take this further, i'll also take into account if the fighter comes out of a long layoff, his age (will he suddenly become too old for this shit?) etc...

    Great fight, and like the most of us, i'm happy that Lawler / Hendricks 3 isn't happening now, the UFC has already made the mistake of wasting the Velasquez / Dos Santos rivalry by remaching them too soon. This rematch would only get bigger as time passes.

    My fighter won a decision in a 3x5 mins fight and it's listed as "decison - rnd 3 - 04:00" http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=235375 (fighter's page) http://www.mmatycoon.com/orgeventpublic.php?EvID=822877 (event page, in wich two of the five 3x5mins decisions are listed as 04:00) The PBP clearly shows that the rounds were 5 minutes long : http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=717951

    Just a thought : maybe you should hire 4 additionnal guys to fight eachother outside of the tournament just in case someone drops out in the middle of this thing?

    Random Hajile, ready to go! http://mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=266179 Edit : I didn't forget about the poster and trophy, i'll try and show you something before the end of the day

    Will we know what the 3 fights will be right off the bat, or will there be a draw after each round?
  16. Manta
    You should also set up a fight for the 3rd place - I'll be happy to offer 75K to the fighter who finishes 3rd.

    "Marathon Man" Strategos Themistokles (248382) " Merkan is a true warrior, people think it was easy to beat him but it wasn't : we have spend a lot of time studying him beacuse we knew he would be my most difficult challenge and we came up with a gameplan. Fortunately, I was succesful. Killlmaz had a lot to loose in this fight as he was already a NEX Hilo Veteran and I was nobody. Hopefully that win against him puts me on the map as the hottest prospect here : I'm still just 18. You have seen nothing yet."

    Yes this would be the time escpecially now that we can predict our opponents' tactic... I often feel like i'm too shy with my clinch attempts, because I have no way to estimate what the chances of success are.

    My private jet flights have all been canceled, with the fighters in transit back to their home country... I re-scheduled every flight before realizing that the fights will happen regardless of where the fighters are... oh well, it's just a few thousand bucks.

    I don't know what i'm doing right, but I was online numerous times those past 48 hours without any problem.

    FYI, i'm planning on opening an in-game bookie for those who want to test this thing without playing actual money. I'll use real odds from a bookmaker (i'm thinking Sportbet), and the max bet will be set at $200 per fight, wich should be more than enough to replicate real life bettings. Would it be too much to ask to indicate us at which time GMT you're showing the predictions? it's bad enough that i have to wake up in the middle of the night to see them, i don't wanna do it for nothing ... Just to be sure, i can bet in my own bookie company, right? It'd be a shame if i could'nt use it myself --- On a sidenote, when this things starts for real and you'll charge us to use it, have you thought about giving the possibility to spend VIP days to do it? VIP can be bought with in-game money, and i'm sure people will be more willing to spend VIP rather than actual money - I know that'd be the case for me, and i can't even bet on MMA here in France, but i'll gladly spend VIP days to simulate bets, until I can find a solution to actually be able to bet (if someone know a way, let me know!)

    http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/180955Sanstitre1.jpg Directory of games doesn't work as usual, but we know there's nothing to do about it. For the 2 others, they were working fine until yesterday, but today we don't get the credit although the process of voting works fine and the vote are accepted by the websites (unlike DOC)
