The file that I have with all the seeds and groups is too large to attach to this thread. So what I'm going to do is post the top 32 seeds for the World Championship tournament and the top 16 seeds for the 1st Defense tournament.

Also, I've decided to use the "cubedrum" method of career progression (with a few modifications) rather than the actual career length method.

I will detail the makeup of each group when I start posting the results of the fight cards. Each fight card will feature 2 bouts from one of the 1st Defense tournament groups, and all 4 bouts from one of the World Championship tournament groups. There will be 4 cards each week, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. So, it will take four weeks of game world time to run a complete series of bouts.
