With the success of the Junior Grand Master of KT Tournament, the people have asked for it and now the time is here!!! I am proud to announce the Junior Grand Master of KT 2!! Last time we ran this, 32 young superstars signed up for the chance to make a name for themselves as the new generation of KT stars fought for the right to be the first Junior Grand Master of KT. Now with the KT Revolution going strong, we will keep the momentum going as more young stars will get the chance to make a name for themselves! Now another 32 men will be given the opportunity to test themselves as they fight their way to the top. Do you have what it takes?? This time, we will split into 2 divisions with 16 fighters each. One division will be the exciting Heavyweight division. In the original poll thread, you were given the choice between Lightweight and Middleweight to accompany the HW division. The people have chosen Middleweight so it will be: Heavyweight and Middleweight. Signups will begin now!

Ok guys...... With the success of the first Junior Grand Master of KT Tournament, I have decided to strike while the iron is hot and start to plan the second edition! As you all know, the aim of this tournament is to rebuild KT one division at a time. For those who missed the first one, it is NOT too late to build a 145 KT fighter to challenge for that title in EFFA! So if you are thinking of making a project 145 KT fighter, best do it NOW!!!! With less skills to train than MMA guys, your guy shouldn't be too far behind the 279k ID range for the last tournament!! But enough living in the past. I have decided to keep my momentum going and continue to help build the next generation of KT stars as the older ones retire. The last tournament was a complete success with 32 young fighters signing up!!! This time i thought i would break it down to 2 divisions. I want to do the Heavyweight division with the heavy hitters.... The other division? That's for YOU to decide!!! Should we make it Lightweight (155) or Middleweight (185)? My plan is to make it 16 fighters each division and it will be a single elimination knockout tournament much like the last one. Also mods, if you feel this should be in the Tournament thread then move it. But this isn't the actual official thread. This is just to see how much interest i have and to see what division to make it before i make the official thread. This tournament will be hosted in Lumpinee based in London. Are you game enough to join the KT Revolution?? EDIT: Signups are officially open!!! -------> The Junior Grand Master of KT II

Hey guys, please bear in mind this is my first time hosting a tournament, so while i think i have given as much info as possible, if i have forgotten anything i may add/delete things as needed. Cheers! -Joe Lang http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14046526106802.jpg James "Sully" McGuiness (237725) Hello everyone! I'm James "Sully" McGuiness, owner of Sully's Bar & Grill, part time MMA fighter and recently a KT vet! And as a KT vet, I am proud to announce: The EFFA Featherweight Junior Grand Master of KT Tournament! What is this tournament? Well, KT is a dying breed and we have been working behind the scenes to hopefully rebuild the KT division and add some depth. As our older KT fighters retire and fade away, we need to rebuild with a new generation. And what better way to do it than to hold a tournament! We hope to encourage young fighters to sign up to KT and hopefully we can build a division around them. I am happy to announce that we have had lots of interest in this, so hopefully we can get this tournament going. Rules of the tournament: Fighters must be 18 years old (creation date Sunday 9th August, 2015! DO NOT create a fighter before this!!) Fights will take place in EFFA so you must make it to Amsterdam for your fights! Starting contracts will be 5 fights at $4000/$3000/$3000 Fights will be 5x3 minute rounds (The Final will be 5x5min rounds) Fights will be 10 point must system Fighters will have 4 weeks to train after creation date. First round is Sunday 6th September 2015, then it is 3 weeks between fights Fighters MUST make the 145 limit on fight day Testing of fighters IS allowed. However, being a KT tournament you run the risk of drawing a grappler in a Quick Fight and losing by sub. If you choose to sack your guy you can still replace him up until the start of the tournament, but note you will be at a disadvantage because your guy will be created later. Knockout Tournament, so once you lose you are out of the tourney * In the event of a draw, a panel will be chosen to choose a winner (with the loser getting a rematch down the line) Fights MUST be accepted. This is a tournament! No reason to decline a fight in a tournament. Declining a fight will result in forfeit, resulting with an alternate replacing you. While not compulsory, smack talk is encouraged! But remember this is meant to be FUN so talk smack, be arrogant. But keep it IN CHARACTER and don't make/take it personal. Also not compulsory, but visit MMA Hype for the official tournament gear! All proceeds go to the prize pool! Get in there!!!! Draw will be random, will ask someone to make the draw (That's all i can think of at the moment but will add more if i feel the need to) * Now while this is an elimination tournament, I encourage you all to stick around even if you lose in the first round. Who knows? With the right training you might be able to bounce back to avenge your loss! The aim of this tournament is to build a division! Who knows, with inactives you may even get a recall!! PRIZES! What we are all waiting for. Now compared to other tournaments, this isn't a big prize pool. But I have had a lot of people offering donations as prizes. So keep your eyes peeled here as there is sure to be more added as the tournament grows. 1st Prize: 3 months VIP (Or free fighter slot) + $500k ($500k Thanks to Mr J) 2nd Prize: $250k (Thanks to Rocket Sausage) 3rd Prize: $100k $50k for KO of the Tourney and $50k each to Fight of the Tourney (Thanks to Bjorn) $50k to the fastest Head Kick (T)KO (Thanks to Goon) $100k Fight Comeback of the Season (Judged and kindly donated by wolf) Plus keep your eyes open for other prizes that will pop up from now until the start of the competition! I am excited!!
