xx - Team GAP, xx - The King's Poison, xx - The Broad Street Bullies, xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club for next-round fights. The Texas Rattlesnakes, The Rocketmen, The Mighty Ducks, The Killing Joke tags to avoid spoiling.Here's what I have arbitrarily decided to do for the second round. There are 4 fights, each team gets to choose 2 fights for the next round. The first fight will be chosen by the team with the most wins. The second will be chosen by the other coach, etc. The Bullies-Rattlesnakes match-up ended in a draw, so I threw them in the Randomizer. Bullies wins the right to first pick. SO. Now I need the following people to PM me fights for the second round: The RocketmenThe Killing Jokexx - Former Phoenix Fight Clubxx - The Broad Street BulliesRemember, you can choose any fights you wish, regardless of who is on what team. Remaining fighters can be found here in bold: manmma.proboards.com/thread/10119/mantuf

I dunno The Sandmen... I think it should still be the winner chooses the next fight. I mean, obviously, if you're not getting a couple of guys to pick, by all means, pick for them, but this isn't a true challenge, according to the rules, if you're picking fights at any point really, especially at this point. It just makes it no different than regular ManMMA IMO... and kinda defeats the purpose and the spirit of the tournament we started out with here. |

If there were an even number of winners, that would have been the case. But since some people only have 2 in the next round, it would make no sense. Some teams will be fighting themselves, and if you fight yourself, you are obviously going to win and get the next fight, etc. |

Some teams will be fighting themselves, and if you fight yourself, you are obviously going to win and get the next fight, etc. That's fair enough, I get that, but until a team is actually eliminated, you should have no say as to who the next fight is. That's the part that makes no sense. Say Ducks gets down to his last fighter, all I'd have to do is tell you who is facing said last fighter. Ducks very well could go the guaranteed elimination route and set two of my fighters up too, but that's his choice, not yours bro. Not in this realm anyways. This is also a part and parcel example of what I've been saying you've been doing for years bro. For whatever reason, you seem to be incapable of allowing things to play out the way you've set them, that folks already agreed to, and then change it part way through. Why not see how it works out first before you go and start making changes? This format is allowing regular/casual players to have some sort of matchmaking authority when otherwise we don't or can't due to our time constraints cuz of rankings, etc., but you're wanting to rob that of us too and take control yourself when that wasn't what any of us signed up for. You don't need to be in control of this particular thing. |

The coaches are doing 100% of the match-making here. |

Obviously lol The way you worded that up there sounds like each coach only gets to pick 2 fights total, then you pick the rest, no matter what the numbers are or who's left on whichever team. |

There are 4 fights, each team gets to choose 2 fights for the next round. The first fight will be chosen by the team with the most wins. The second will be chosen by the other coach, etc. But I didn't mention me making fights in there anywhere at all. Not entirely sure where the confusion came from, but glad we got that cleared up. Cause yeah, fuck match-making NXT. I don't have time (or interest) for that nonsense.  This way does effectively make it so the team with the most wins in round 1 selects 3 of the 4 fights though. But don't tell anyone that.  |
