RITC: Team West Discussion

[Stumbleweed]

Figured I'd start this up since Team East has their area.

Really looking forward to this... I'm gonna start prowling the mom and pop shops soon to see if I can find this early somewhere.

League Rules

Teams - Teams will be broken down into two teams of 16. There will be TEAM EAST and TEAM WEST. Players will be placed on teams by timezones to try and make scheduling fights easier.

League Overview - Each team will consist of 16 members. Each member drafts(see draft rules) 1 fighter in each weight class. Each fighter will fight 15 fights in each weight class. Everyone will fight every member of your team once in each weight class. Once the season ends and the scores (see scoring) are added up, the top point rated fighter in each weight class will battle the opposing teams top point fighter. So at the end of the season their will be 5 championship fights (one for each weight class). These championship fights will consist of 5 - 5 min rounds.

Draft - Team team will have its own separate draft. Round 1 will start with the heavy weight division and work its way down to the light weight division. Round 1 draft order will be determined by a random number generator located here http://www.random.org/ . The Admin of each team will give each member of its team a number. Then use the random number generator. Numbers that appear will correspond with the numbers given to the members. This will determine the first round draft order.

From round 2 to round 5. The rest of the draft will snake through. So who ever had first pick in round 1 will have last pick in round two. Then so on through the remaining 4 rounds.

Team Admins - Each team will have 1 admin to handle all the league duties. Such as Drafts, scheduling, problems & issues, etc. All concerns and questions should be sent to your Teams Admin. Any issues contact your team admin.

Championship Fights - Each weight division will have a championship ship between the top point scores from each team. They will be 5 - 5 min round fights.

Scheduling & League Length
* League will last roughly 4 months.
* Schedules will have you facing 1 opponent a week.
* You will have 5 fights in that week. You fight that opponent in each weight class for that week.
* So if each fight goes the full 15 min you are looking at a max play through time of 1hr 30min for all 5 of yall fights.
* So you will face 4 opponents in a month.
* That is 20 fights a month.

Example of a schedule and fights

Week 1 - Phobia vs Stumbleweed
We would fight our Heavy weight, Light heavy, Middle weight, Welter weight and Light weight fights in week 1.

Matches are fast so playing through all 5 fights in 1 sitting is not that hard considering like mentioning the max it can take is hour and a half. But fights can be broken down through out that week if need be.

Week 2 - Phobia vs Mgoblue
Same thing as above. This continues, so each week you face a new person off of OS.

Scoring System

KO/TKO/Submission
Winner - 4 points
Loser - 0 points

Unanimous Decision
Winner - 4 points
Loser - 1 point

Major decision (2 judges same fighter, 1 judge scores it draw)
Winner - 3 points
Loser - 1 point

Split Decision (2 judges same fighter, 1 judge other fighter)
Winner - 2 points
Loser - 1 point

Draw
Both fighters - 1 point

Surviving a match will result in a point win or lose.

Post-Fight outcome template
Schedules will have 1 person listed as who should submit the fight outcomes. This will be listed on the schedules for each week. This will be split 50/50 among everyone.

Everyone use this template to post your fight outcomes!! Most important things needed are WHO WON, HOW they won, if it goes to decision. I HAVE to know what kind of decision. Was it a major decision, Unanimous Decision, split decision or was it a draw.

Week 1 - Pappy vs Damien
HW - Mire won by KO(overhand right), 2nd round
LHW - Liddell won Split decision 28/27, 27/28, 29/27
MW - Leben won TKO(due to punches), 1st round
WW - Penn won Sub (triangle), 3rd round
LW - Sherk vs Huerta, Draw

Fight Rules

Sportsmanship is number 1 in the league. We are all here to have fun. Winning should not be your end all be all goal. Anyone can win a fight at any second. So crazy fast knockouts might happen, long drawn out decisions, big subs in the first round, etc. Lets all just experience this together in a fun filled friendly OS league. Follow these rules and everything should be fun for everyone.

Start of the first round
At the start of the first round. Coming out and touching gloves is mandatory. This is not required in any other round. In championship fights if it goes the full 5 rounds then a glove touch before the start of the 5th should happen.

Drops/Disconnects
We will be unable to predict how good the connections are going to be since the game is not out. I hope we won't have any issue with this.

Anyone caught disconnecting or dropping a game will be removed from league no questions asked. I EXPECT fair play, if you can't lose like a man then you won't be in this league.

Fighting games are tough to figure out a correct way to handle a disconnect. This will be updated with the help of the league members to figure out a fair way to handle such a incident.

Well the draft was fun. Now almost another two weeks of nothing until the game comes out. Lol.

I have a question for all of my fellow Team West "mates":

Without voting for yourself. Who, in your opinion, had the best draft in the west?

How can you out do what I got??

Brock Lesnar
Matt Hughes
Brandon Vera
Rich Clementi
Chris Leben

I like Stumbles group though and I think Dr. J has a solid crew.

[Stumbleweed]

Yeah, minus Clementi, Phobia's got my vote... beasty Brock is probably the best HW, Vera is better at LHW than at HW, Hughes is a beast on the ground at WW, Leben's iron chin... tough group for sure.

Honorable mention to Dr. J and PolishChemist... both very solid squads.

[Djwlfpack]

Don't sleep on my squad:

HW: Mirko Cro Cop
LHW: Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
MW: Drew McFedries
WW: Anthony "Rumble" Johnson
LW: Spencer "The King" Fisher

All my dudes are bringing evil intentions with them into the Octagon.

Only one on that list that I think can take one of my fighters is Fisher. That cat got hands and can most likely take Clementi. Rampage I think would have to keep it standing with Vera to have a chance. If Vera can keep it in the clinch then I think he will dominate with his Maui Thai.

Vera a favorite over Rampage? I know he's your boy but man that's a bit of a stretch.

Just some notes - Vera is a Light Heavyweight and Matt Hughes is a Welterweight.

As for best teams - that's really hard to say without ratings, and I think everyone has some great fighters on their roster. But if I had to choose one, Polishchemist's team stood out to me.

Yeah I'm going to have to agree with you. I think from top to bottom Polishchemist has the most solid group.
