Thanks, Dean. I'm glad you've been enjoying it. I was so disappointed when your guy lost the IC title fight but as he said himself, it must mean that there are even better things in store for him.
As for the tournaments...
In each weight division in the IBL (HW, JHW, LHW, MW, WW, LW, FW, BW, FLY) there's two regional championship tournaments, which are Americas and Inter-Continental. The Americas encompasses North America, South America and the Caribbean while the IC covers the rest of the world. There were 16 fighters in each of those tournaments. There's also a world championship tournament featuring 8 fighters and a Challenger's tournament with 16 fighters. The winner of the Challenger's tournament gets first crack at the world champ. With the regional titles, any champion who successfully retains his title five times will be rewarded with a shot at the world championship.
Post 564 on page 29 is the entire schedule for the tournament finals. There are also bouts on the schedule which determine each fighter's initial world ranking once the tournaments are over. I started a seperate thread called "The Greatest Prize in Sports: Almanac" which will list the title lineages and title fights for every IBL championship. I'll also use the thread to post monthly world rankings as the uni progresses.

Congrats, Mark. Your guy's run through the tournament was pretty much faultless. Let's all hope that 2007 is a huge year for him.
