Okay so these are the rules that we've run with in the past. Been considering the possibility of changing it up to twelve 3-man teams to make it easier to get a team together. I'm also open to suggestions on weight class because I haven't really made up my mind there yet. LHW opens up the possibility of more guys joining which is why I am leaning towards that slightly.

 

 

Also there has been a complaint in the past that the season is too long so might consider skipping the Team Playoff and just whoever has the most team points after the regular season is the team champion.

Yes let's get it goin again Sean I ll muck in to help if need be by anyway

[verbalkint]

Some random thoughts... under the current engine 170 would for me the max weightclass. I agree that a discussion about the lenght makes sense... i think the playoffs are a bad spot for making a cut though. It's true that in the past the interest was a bit down arriving playoff time, but i think it just had to do with the grueling group stage. Maybe seperate the two "leagues" fully, so 6 group stage fight days, best two teams survive each and meat in the semi finals, leage vs league then, 1a vs 2b, 1b vs 2a.

It's not the perfect solution, that being said. But "general interest" is a main factor here and i think this reduced way could be more appealing for many.

I might have a guy at 205 or 145.

 

Edit: Maybe Home/Away fight days for semi finals, final?

[j666]

I voted mw but I'm down for whatever

[j666]

I seriously lol at how many people are scared if the engine. fukn chickenshits.

Well in all fairness to Roger, the 1 thing I will say we experienced in season 2 (265+ division) was more injuries having an effect on fights. Big guys hit harder and usually guys throw their power a little more at the higher weight classes and led to more 16 day injuries. It's been so long now that I almost kinda forgot that.

 

My main concern w/ the lighter weights is/was i know usually 155 and under are thinner weight classes generally and finding 40 guys is a chore in itself, I always just worry going too low in weight will make it extremely difficult to fill. BUT that's why I put the poll up to see what guys thought

[verbalkint]

Well, i just want to see things kicking off this time, like i said, i would be interested in joining with a 205er myself, not being a bodygas expert at all. Noone can't deny though, if ITFL is able to reach a wide audience, not just the oldschoolers, 205/265 will increase the inbalance.

[j666]

true. but injury prone fighters are bad for this sort of thing anyway and they're across the board. injuries are one thing, the engine is another

[potter09]

What exactly would be the id for this anyway guys.

 

If you put it to 170 185 even I'd have no worries putting a 145 fighter to enter, I'm struggling for higher weight depending on I'd. Ut will def try finding some 1

[Guest]

I would sign up for a shortened version of ITFL, similar to that proposed by Roger. I prefer WW, but I have a fighter who would suits in MW too.

[Scooby]

i like middleweight but personally i like 220k more than 200k

[potter09]

200k would be great but also 220k would be great obviously depending on weight class

[potter09]

Think we ll ned confirmation in the id for a few reasons,

 

1 see if I have a guy

 

2 start looking for a team

 

3 for excitement lol

[nandorossi]

All of my fighters are 230K Id but i would still like to be a part of this. It seems like it would be a lot of fun. With that being said I would sign up only if a team needed me at 200k. At 220k I would be searching for a team. Hope all goes well and I will keep updated with this thread to see were it goes.

[Stu_Pidasol]

Yep I'm down for this for sure

 

Weight I don't care

Length of tourney I don't care

 

It's simply one of the best tourneys in the game.

[TheMould]

I wouldn't mind if it was bumped to 220k since none of my guys are below that and I'm always interested in a tourney

Edit: Also I'd say middleweight/WW but that's my general preference more than anything

[bigmatch]

I want to join but Im not sure if a team will take me in.

[shortfuse122829]

Definitely sticking to 200+K ID @ Davies. I think by September'ish 220K ID guys will be skilled enough to compete against 200K guys anyway.

The reason I wanna stick to 200 is cause the likelihood I get 40 guys between 200K-210K ID is probably not high. Even in the last season which was 180K ID we had quite a few 195-200K ID guys joining. Guys like Kenta Kobashi did extremely well despite not "just" making the ID range. So with that in mind I'm expecting 200-225K ID guys will likely sign up. If I went 220K it'd end up being 220K-245K guys & 245K is still too young to fight every 2 weeks over the span of 2 tycoon years (6 mo RL)

Here is 1 of Blunts guys near 220K

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=219107

I'd project by September'ish his skills are 11 11 14 black & that'd be fine IMO

[Scooby]

Ok so 200k is pretty final,how about weightclass

[shortfuse122829]

I'll wait to give the poll a little more time Scooby on that one.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=194095 there is Kobashi who went 10-3 last ITFL for those worried about not having guys right @ the 200 limit

[JLP]

MW or WW works best for me. We won't have to worry about injuries as much in that case.

[JLP]

About time the most prestigious and challenging tournament in the Tycooniverse returns.

This is the tournament that separates the men from the boys, the duckers from the bad motherfuckers, CGrace from his frilly panties.

[Rambo]

220K ID + and I would be interested at 145 W/C or 185 - 205 W/C.

[Guest]

I could possibly enter a 145lb fighter so I voted LW.

[JLP]

If its a lighter weight my guy is a 208k or 223id. MW and above its 217k or 225k.

I was thinking it would be awesome if an ID restricted org or two entered in a team made up of fighters signed there. If any org owners wanted to do that, I'm sure we'd be able to get them high hype fights to ME the cards to substitute for the missing fighters as they competed in ITFL.
