Romy, If you don't mind, see if you can get him interested in the league.

Had another hair-brained idea.

Instead of me picking the fighters added to the draft/waiver pool, I'll pick what number of rated fighters are available and when somebody either drafts or picks up that rated number on waivers, they can decide who it will be.
Example:
Draft Pool
Heavyweights
(9) no-name
(7) no-name
(7) no-name
(5) no-name
(4) no-name

When somebody drafts say a 7 rated HW, they get the 7 and they get to name who that fighter is as long as he doesn't currently reside on an active roster.
Another idea is to use the RFG to produce the fighters name to match the rating if the owner so chooses to go that route.

[SAL]

I just posted a 4th poll for the owners to vote on. This one concerns a fighter's overall prime rating counting towards the team cap.

You will be voting yes to keep the cap points just the way they were in the old UTBA. (Counting a fighter's overall prime rating towards the team cap when he is in the beginner, pre-prime & Prime stage) and then let the 2.5 game adjustments to overall rating take effect when a fighter ages to post-prime and end.

I have a proposition for the league format and scheduling if we can't get any more than 22 teams. If we decide to stay with two conferences we could just have eleven teams in each and play an 11-week season where each team plays each of the other teams in their conference and also has one bye. Playoffs could just be the two conference champions like in the old days of MLB or maybe involve the top two or four teams in each conference.

Will do. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm going to change mine as well: We will now be the Suffolk Dusk Owls, home field: Camp Hero St. Park (Montauk, L.I.). Trainer and cutman will remain the same for now and my new ringcard girl will be Yvonne Craig (img attached)...didn't we all want to marry Batgirl at some point in our youth?

[Romdawg88]

I want to switch my ring girl to Zooey Deschanel.

Edit: Also, I want to change my Home Venue to Bright House Networks Stadium. Might as well host matches in the city I'm actually living in instead of Miami.

Seconded ... I have talked with him on the phone ... good guy.

[Romdawg88]

Cool, I sent him a PM but since he is usually on late I haven't gotten a reply yet. Maybe you send him a message as well Mike, it won't hurt to double up the recruitment. Now we need to think of another potential owner for the league.

[mikehoudini]

I don't know too much about the league, and probably would be like the first year Mets, with Choo-Choo Coleman, Marvelous Marv Throneberry and 3 pitchers that lost at least 19 games each (oops, wrong sports metaphor), but I could give it a go, just to give you guys someone to beat on. Had an incredibly bad day at work, and would rather get pounded by boxing afficionados.

So, if a slot is open, I'm game (but okay if they are all filled). At least I know the HW 1-3 levels, and some of the top historical boxers! Just no snide comments if I go 0 for!

Just need to know where to go to read up on the rules.

There is a couple slots up at the moment and I think you would be a great addition to the league. Also, don't worry about doing poorly as I'm sure you'll do better then Lee's Roughnecks who were working on a streak that was somewhere around 0-25.

On behalf of the Gold Conference, the boys from New Haven will welcome any potential doormats into the fold.

I would love to see Lee's Roughneck record broken.

[Romdawg88]

I doubt we'll see anyone ever come near Lee's record. 0-26 is going to be damn near impossible to beat. I wonder how long the losing streak will continue in the new league.

Hopefully not past my first match

Sorry guys, the "Cleveland Spiders" of the UTBA are a thing of the past....

(Now where the hell are the crossed finger icons to add to my post?)

My name is Adam, by the way.

Also, I posted on one of the polls about using the cap like an NFL owner. If you want to spend on a stud you lose out on a later signing. Just throwing some ideas around, bash away.

Thanks to all and it's good to be in.
As a newb, I didn't vote on minor leagues or divisions, since it's probably best off being left to those who have first-hand knowledge of the topics.

Sorry guys, I am out this time around (don't have as much free time as last year, etc.) but good luck to all of you. I did enjoy viewing the photos of the new Ring Card girls, however. (Based on that alone, mh should be the winner ...)
