I'm not trying to pick on the Beavers here......just Mickey.
Let me try to explain my madness. We started the original UTBA out with a team cap of 97. I'm trying to meet in the middle of the road for starters in the UTBA II (between the expansion cap of 95 and the hard cap of 105).
The database is not blessed with a lot of 11 rated fighters. What I'm trying to do this time around when adding fighters to the draft pool, add the fighters by overall ratings by percentage compared to the total number of fighters per weight class. This way hopefully, the draft pool will not get out of hand.
Here's an example of some numbers when adding fighters to the draft pool for the next 10 drafts (10 seasons), using just the HW, LHW, MW & WW divisions.
In the next 10 seasons there will only be 1 (11 rated fighter) added in the Heavyweight & Lightheavyweight & Welterweight divisions and 2 - 11's added in the Middleweight division. That makes a total of just 5 - 11's added to the draft pool over the next 10 seasons in these four weight classes.
If we allow all 24 teams to pick one 11.......we may not see any 11's added to the draft for 20 seasons. Right or wrong....this is my only reason for the change from the original version.
I'm currently working on the numbers for the next 10 drafts. When finished, I'll post it so everybody will have an idea of what to expect in the upcoming drafts.
Here's what I'm planning on to get the UTBA II started:

- SMW's will be moved to the LHW's
- CW's will be moved to the HW's
Guidelines for setting up your initial roster for the UTBA II:
All managers shall make a list of 16 fighters (2 fighters in each of
the original 8 weight divisions) that they want using the following guidelines.
Each team must have:
1 fighter rated 10
1 fighter rated 9
2 fighters rated 8
3 fighters rated 7
3 fighters rated 6
3 fighters rated 5
2 fighters rated 4
1 fighter rated 3
and submit the list to SAL by PM.
(This would be a starting cap of 100 and leave 5 points towards the 105 hard cap to play with later on)
All fighters that were on an active roster when the league folded and not retained by an owner for the initial team setup in the UTBA II will not be allowed on any roster for the start of the UTBA II. I will compile a list of all the fighters that were on active rosters and post it here in this thread. Previous owners will be allowed to retain 3 fighters from their last active roster meeting the above guidelines even though the fighters name will appear on the can't pick from list that I'll post later.
I will introduce 12 fighters in each of the 8 weight classes at the mid-point of season 1 to fill the Draft/Waiver Pool. All of these fighters will be rated between 3 & 8 overall Prime. |
