I like the new rankings. Like KC, I love that the team flags are in there now if we could only get the team flags back into the standings all will be right in the world again.

Thanks KC, Don and Romy.
I miss the flags too.
I'll see what I can do about the flags on the standings. The limit on the size of pics posted in the forums is why I took them out. When we added more teams and when I had the flags in the standings, it made the photo to large for posting.

Welcome to FRESH MEAT, um, I mean TC Dale!

Got another Hoosier in the mix. Scary to think that now there are 4 of us...

Ah ok, thats understandable. So we need to go yell at the guys in charge to increase the pic size so we can have our flags back.

The rankings look fantastic Scot!

[TC Dale]

Yeah they do look fantastic. Was it a lot of work? It looks like it.

And yeah don't let my fellow moderator curmudgeon fool ya. He is an onery cuss let me tell you. His trigger finger is faster'n mine!



Again, that is quality stuff, man. Nice work.

[Claybor]

LOVE the new preseason rankings. Cool Beans Scot.

TILE HILL TOP TEAM
'The Hilltoppers'
Coach: Ian Lord

HW: Razor Ruddock, 44-36-2 [41], starts his fifth season with the Hilltoppers. Has a hell of a whack on him, but is also a bit chinny, which usually makes for an exciting fight. He will be joined by new-boy Riddick Bowe, who looks promising, providing he can stay away from the fridge. Alex Stewart departs.

LHW: A couple of tough nuts make up the LHW's this season. Dwight Qawi, 42-25 [26], will be turning out in his fourth season, and is in the prime of his career. He will be joined by a newcomer in the shape of Steve Collins, who replaces Chic Calderwood.

MW: The middleweights stay the same, with Terry Downes, 42-35-6 [30], and Jock McAvoy, 41-38-7 [26].

WW: The welters are also the same, with team captain and former champ Lloyd Honeyghan, 72-11-4 [42], and Colin Jones, 30-47-3 [20].

LW: Traditionally the strongest division within the THTT, Dave Charnley, tthe former champ who is 73-16-2 [24], and Freddie Welsh, 69-13-4 [13], who both usually get the win but lack any real knockout power.

FW: Terry Spinks returns, who boasts a 34-44-3 [9] record. However, he is joined by the 053-1 Jesus Meneses who was recently picked up of the waivers. Many have questioned coach Lord's sanity. He's in his prime, so he's not going to get any better. Crowd pleaser Johnny Tapia made way for him.

BW: Lionel Rose, 45-37-3 [19], and rookie Jun Magsipoc make up the bantamweights. Along with the feathers is the weakest division in the THTT. Digger Stanlety departs.

FLY: Dave McAuley, 33-43-2 [20], yet again teams up with Young Perez, 36-41-6 [7], who will forever be remembered by Hilltop fans for his shock title victory over Vic Darchinyan.

Outlook: The Hilltoppers are hoping to improve on last season, in which they lost in the conference final to the Bald Beavers. Could do it, providing the team doesn't suddenly grow old over night.

Welcome to the UTBA TC Dale. Great addition. I like the ratings Sal,except that it is a travesty that my man Earnie Shavers isnt in there..guess his late season swoon last year dropped him out. Still,it wont be long until he is back in the top 5. I like the other stats that were posted by Romutiltus as well. Just a great job guys. I cant wait for the start of the season. I think that I have the Kangaroos(TC Dale) in the opener,having lost to them a couple of times..I am hoping to give Mr TC a rude UTBA welcome..LOL. Take care and good luck fellas.

[Tommysixfingers]

The rankings look very good indeed. Much more "alive" with the flags and arrows.

Good job.

[JCWeb]

SAL did a nice job sprucing up the rankings page with the arrows and team icons. Very nice.

also ... Welcome, TCDale, to the league.

[mh2365]

I agree the rankings look great Sal

Actually guys, just call me TC.

TC Dale sounds so stilted and old.

I go by TC on here, and it is much easier to type, right?

You might get me in the opener, as I am a rube and newb manager, but, I hope to hit the ground running, and get some licks in myself!

I will have to see how the guys do before I make a lot of major changes.. You never know what you have until they are gone, right?

[SAL]

Many thanks again guys on the rankings. It was a little bit of work but now that I've got it set up, it will be easy to manage.

Anybody have any suggestions on how I post the bout results week to week. I'd like to liven those posts up as well. T. A. Dorgan has volunteered to a little write-up from time to time on the upcoming matches and results. Let's hope we see him around.

[SAL]

Allow me to officially introduce the replacement owner of the Kangaroos.

The Kangaroos have made their move from Australia to the US and have settled in Indiana under new ownership.

TC Dale: new owner

Fightin' Wildcats: new team name

Home Venue: Highland Park Boxing Arena, Indiana

TC is some sort of a ladies man as he requested to rotate between 4 ring girls in his home matches.

The rosters have been updated. I'm currently working on the schedule (name changes) and when finished, I'll delete season 4 and put season 5 up.

Once again TC, welcome to the league.

Wasting no time, here are a few roster changes for the Fightin' Wildcats.

WAIVER CLAIMS

Fightin' Wildcats claim:

• HW (3)Denver Ed Smith 5-15-0 (5) *pre-prime
• LW (8)Jesse James Leija 18-21-1 (6) *pre-prime

ROSTER CUTS

Fightin' Wildcats release:

• HW (5)Buddy Baer 20-46-0 (14) *PRIME
• LW (6)Nedal Hussein 5-33-2 (3) *pre-prime

[SAL]

I think you guys have figured it out but if you haven't, jbergey has volunteered to run the Minor League draft for me. I think we are ready to continue with the rookie draft now or at least I am.

Send your PMs to jbergey or me(I'll forward them to jbergey if I get them) concerning the minor league draft.

Just clear a few things up on the Minors.

• The draft will be held over the course of season 5.
• Drafting of the minors will not be allowed during season 5 waiver rounds. (that will only be 4 days out of 14 days that no drafting will be allowed for the minors)
• Only fighters in beginning or pre-prime stage are allowed.
• A hard cap of 45 points for the minors.
• The Minors will not come into play until the start of season 6. (unless by vote the owners want to start sooner)
