Hi all,

This is my first post, thank you all for reading.

I have owned title bout for a number of years, and enjoyed it a great deal.

I enjoyed it a great deal further when I began searching this forum, and found two things:

1) Cubedrum's photo pack (god bless the guy)

2) An excel based universe (I can't remember the author, I'm sorry)

I have taken a great deal from the people that post here that have enriched my enjoyment of TBCB so much - and now soon I have something to offer in return.

The reason for this post - and please, I mean no disrespect - I have created an Excel based universe that is far in advance of any that have been posted here previously.

Many of the excel universes that have been offered here previously are fantastic - but the downside is that they ask you to do a great deal many things outside of the sheet itself. Ie, roll a die, change the age, change the date, schedule fights etc etc.

The only thing my universe needs is the following:

1) Create a list of fighters: Can be 10 can be 10,000, doesn't matter. They will be picked out, activated, age and retire in due time. all you have to do is create the list of names. (You can just export the database from TBCB if need be)

2) Three steps: Click button one, and a fighter is 'born' into your universe. Click button two and fights are scheduled, and you use a drop down menu to record the result (W, L, DQ, NC, D, KO, LKO etc etc etc). Click button three, and all results are processed, rankings, fighter records EVEN the change of a world title.

3) You have to manually change the age and activation of a fighter in TBCB. Sorry, the sheet can't do it for you. It will warn you to make the change, but you still have to do it in TBCB.

The reason for the post:

I have worked on this since November, it isn't quite ready but it is getting there. I have poured many, many hours into this and was not going to post it if it was to be ignored.

What I am basically looking for is an expression of interest. If people would like to see and use it then great, i'll give it away no problem. If people have question as to how the sheet operates under certain scenarios, Ie; who does the World Champ fight, how do veterans fit in, who gets ranked etc etc, I'd like to hear them now.

I anticipate this will be ready in about three weeks, and really wanted to use the feedback of the people on this forum to:

1) Gauge interest, ie. should I post it

and

2) Get feedback and questions which might help me improve it before release.

Greatly appreciate you reading this - hope you have a comment.

Kind Regards,

Jade.
