Whatever.

I mean, its cool to have 20 points without even having to fight a match with any of the fighters. TLCS is the best position to win without even fighting in the 2nd round...Correct?

If a 'bye' gets 2 points and one alliance gets 10 byes, maybe a win should be worth 5 or 10 points, LOL.

I take a win against another opponent a little more seriously than a free pass into the next round without having anyone close to being eliminated.

The problem was that not all of the alliances participated. So, it made an odd number of fighters from the second round on. I was there when he made the decision. There wasn't a better option at the time.

I can also see having byes as a disadvantage. The byes are keeping the best fighter out of the compition. Teams can be missing out on KO/sub point. But instead we have to settle for 2 pts. TLCS had our 2 LWs fight each other in the 1st round. So, the brackets didn't favor us anyhow, IMO.

I'm not complaining at all, but in previous WAC's what had happened was this: if there was 10 fighters there would be a qualifying round with 2 fights for no points and the 2 winners would advance to the first round with the other 6 top rated fighters and the first round bracket would have had 8 fighters, no byes.

That would have worked. Pain didn't realize there was a problem until after the first round. So, once the tourney had started it was too late. My suggestion was to randomly pick who got the byes. But, we knew this was gonna play out funny either way.

We all know it's not an easy job.
Respect anyway, it was better than nothing.

good luck everyone...and thanks again pain!

I was drunk last night after the UFC.

Apologies for sounding like an asshole.

The system isnt perfect, but it is what it is.

Props to Pain for working so hard.

Scores Updated.

Championships Set.

Here is how it all needs to play out for said alliances to win.
(This does not include if there is a DQ -1 of some kind)

TLCS:

Current Points: 39
Possible Total: 51
Points needed to clinch: 7

With an all TLCS LHW finale, the Lewbowski's are set up to retake the title they held for so long. A finish in LHW would guarantee them at least a silver medal. With at least one fighter left in 3 divisions they can end TTT's quest with a HW or LW win or ensure a tie at 42 with at least a dec at LHW.

Nemesis:

Current Points: 37
Possible Total: 45
Win Scenarios:

#1. Finishes at MW & WW + TLCS losses at HW & LW
#2. 1 Finish 1 Dec at MW & WW + TLCS losses at HW & LW
#3. Dec wins at WW & MW + TLCS Dec at LHW + TLCS losses at HW & LW

TTT:

Current Points: 30
Possible Total: 42
Win Scenario:

Only: Finishes at HW/WW/LW + TLCS Dec at LHW

In TLCS is a bunch of shady assholes news...

Sea's HW has the EFC title which while not written is against the rules as far as I know, my WW had to drop his belt before the first round per pm from pain. I move that sea's guy loses all points aquired for this WAC...
