The simplest change that I would like to see is allowing one more space for groupings and to mass change the 2nd and 3rd groups instead of going one by one. I base my 3rd grouping request on the playoff format we use here in California for high school basketball. I am a former high school and college basketball coach and I base my boxing organizations according to how we have our playoffs. I have seen that most of the regulars here on the forum run 3 groupings - local, regional and world. This is possible with the way the game is now. But I use one more group.

For example: in high school, we go league, division, region and then state. So for explanation, lets use an Italian fighter. He would first fight locally in Italy (league). If he shows promise, he would fight around the area in regional countries (division). Showing promise and starting to approach the rankings he would gain sponsorship, a managerial team, a promoter and would be able to travel further for fights. This is where my universe differs. I use a hemisphere title. I divide my world into a western hemisphere and eastern hemisphere. From there, the last grouping is the world organizations. WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, whichever one you decide to use.

So, with the groupings the way they are right now, I am only able to use regional, hemisphere, and world. I could manually do local such as commonwealth, canadien, french, italian champions but there is no way to do a ranking system or organizational rankings. Plus, it is just ridiculous to have to manually go and change the 2nd grouping for each fighter. I currently have about 3400 heavyweight fighters thanks to all the creative people here that have shared their work. I only use heavyweights.

4 regions:

USBA, consisting of hw fighters from US, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands.
CABO, Continental Americas, consisting of hw fighters from all countries in the western hemisphere excluding the USBA fighters.
EBU, consisting of hw fighters from Europe.
ICBA, Inter-Continental, consisting of hw fighters from Africa, Middle East, Asia, Pacific Rim, Oceania.

2 hemisperes:

WHBA and EHBA

World title and organizations. Of course, this is where you use the all grouping.

I would like to further break it down to local titles. South American, Latin America, Canadien, African, Asian, Oceanic, Commonwealth, Eastern Bloc, etc. I would then be able to use a regional grouping of NABF and have local titles of Canadien and USBA within that grouping.

Once again, thanks to all the regulars here for sharing their created files. I enjoy reading all the universes here on the board. I have used a lot of everyone's ideas.
