EzekelRAGE Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 One other question for you actually.... - We can do categories by belt but that doesn't stop someone having beast secondaries and physicals and entering the blue belt category. How would you guys deal with that? A cap on secondaries and physicals to enter that category too? How about a cap total points wise and sort it into levels like you do qfcs? But only factoring in specific stats. So punches wouldnt count towards it. Let's say all phys do (900 pts), cw/tko/tkd/subs/dg/trans/escapes(1050), and w/bjj (300). So at best a guy would be 2250. Of course the numbers can be tweaked. Level 1 - 0 -599 (All useless - feeble) Level 2 - 600 - 1049 (All Mediocre - respectable) Level 3 - 1050 - 1499 (All proficient - superb) Level 4 - 1500 - 1799 (All remarkable - wonderful) Level 5 - 1800-2250 (All exceptionals-elites) The levels could also stand for your belts Level 1 - White Level 2 - Blue Level 3 - Purple Level 4 - Brown Level 5 - Black/Red This may be confusin and too much work though.....................like ppl gettin into black but only hold brown belt idk. Edit: was typin this out so didnt see Markyosullivan's suggestion about star's. That's probably better and a whole lot less confusin than what I posted here.

Guest Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 We could also make it impossible to cut weight for these events to make it more like real grappling competitions? i.e. you fight at your walking weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Would it also not count toward manager hype/record? That would be my personal preference, to keep all that sort of business entirely linked together and these added extras being separate events, but trophies to be won, etc. I don't want it to add hype. I don't really like the idea of skill caps because the whole purpose of the tournament (in my opinion anyways) is to see who is the best of the best of each belt level but if there is a cap then the best guys are fighting handicapped. I guess it's not really "fair" to the new managers but they should see it as another fun goal to strive for. Isn't that a bit head in the sand regarding the problem though? I can tell you already who the best blue belt is - someone who's created a white belt with 100 on all the secondaries and then trained everything up so they're pretty much elite in all secondaries and just inside the blue limit. i.e. a really stupid build.

DavyJones Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Fair enough, and actually now that I re-read your original question I see that it's more about controlling who is entering the lower level belt tournaments which now that I think about it more it does make sense for the white-blue-purples to be capped but Id like to see less restrictions for the brown-black-red divisions personally. They should be more about overall skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyJones Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Breaking it down further into groups sounds good in theory and would be cool but as Mike pointed out earlier there are already 576 starting points without doing that.

Base it off belt color, and belt color alone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyM5 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Here's a start for the ToTT based on the current one. What would you all change with this? You all are more creative than I am I also uploaded the PSD in case any photoshop ppl wanted to mess around with it: http://www.mediafire.com/?no0237fb2zylnb4 http://105.imagebam.com/download/IEJ4cS6DTcOc9lnaVnpXFQ/24929/249288134/taleofthetape2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want realism then do it by belt categories but as you said people could have a blue belt but beast secondaries so i say what you said a cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking maybe we could have some sort of grappling themed background though? N.B. We have to pick cage or ring for these fights too... This is purely for commentary purposes because I can't be bothered doing loads and loads of commentary editing to block out any mention to cage / ropes. Any preference guys?

MMATycoon Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Not massively. Takedowns in the clinch are easier in a cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Cage. Will make the grappling much more interesting. Also, you definitely don't want to worry about moving the fight back to the center of a ring because limbs are getting tangled between ropes.

I feel the opposite, you don't want someone held against the cage on the ground. Would prefer Ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyM5 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'd go with a ring. That's pretty nice. I was thinking maybe we could have some sort of grappling themed background though? That was the plan but I wasn't sure how to go about it, that's why I uploaded the PSD file for others to figure it out a little better. Here's a simple addition if this helps: http://i.imgur.com/MKkwMnC.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Kelly, nice TOTT. Also, I would vote for fights to take place in a Ring. This should be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Repositioning because of the ropes isn't even in the game so don't worry about that. The only difference on the ground (I think) is that it's easier to stand up. As I'm disabling standing up, the ground game will be no different in a cage or ring.

Guest Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Now that i think about it, the ring would be more formal. The cage is too "hardcore" for grappling & should be reserved for fighting only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzekelRAGE Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The more I look at it the more I hate the brown :/. I think I like kelly's more.

warlord Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 nice concept btw i think it would be better if you would make a grappling org only in the future instead of the every 3 month similar to kt orgs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzekelRAGE Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I could render the gi better if it gets used. http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/2021/whitegi.jpg http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/9379/browngi.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
