Hi everyone. I am new to setting up a replay scenario so I thought I would post some tidbits and see what anyone thought.

Basically I am working with heavyweights right now. I began with the year 1875. All fighters start as Beginning and are randomly paired up by the auto-scheduler. All non-championship bouts are 10 rounds for simplicity's sake. Conditioning checks are made. Max # of bouts each month (12 in a year) = 30% of total possible. I like and always use the WBC rule set.

Fighters retire either in the year listed in their bio or when their losses exceed their victories by 10, whichever comes first. Again, this is just to make it simple for my first major attempt. I will also retire those that advance to the Retired stage.

When 1885 hits, the top 2 ranked fighters will fight for the first belt. Now, when maximum bout number is taken into account, the next 25% ranked will fight amongst eachother, followed by the next 50%, then the last 25%. This will mark the beginning of fighters fighting only those near their ranking.

Champs will fight twice a year, to defend their belt. Again, always the next best ranked contender. Everything is based on the program and I do not make judgements, which I know is not always perfect because of the ranking system. I just want this to run right now with little to no "fudging".

Because champs will fight a lot less, especially if they can hold on to their belt, if they are champ for 4 years I will advance their career stage by 1.

I am currently ready to begin 1880. Professor Charles Hadley is currently ranked #1 with John Knifton #2. Newcomer in 1879, John Sullivan, blazed a trail with 4 straight victories, his first against highly ranked Joe Coburn.

George Godfrey and Bill Farnan join John Sullivan as the only undefeated fighters, though all are currently unranked at this time.
