[Romultiltus]

I was holding off on posting this unitl after the conclusion of Week 9, but since we seem to be in an extended league hiatus, I'll put it out now.

In UTBA-I, Romy suggested that we run a Gold vs. Silver Conference exhibition All-Star match. Exhibition basically means that once the fighters are selected, the match will be run but w/o the records being saved to the DB - therefore the additional 2 bouts per fighter would not count towards their aging.

In UTBA-I, I posted possible candidates for each weight class for a per-Conference vote. All fighters with a winning record were eligible. For UTBA-II, I had discussed w/ SAL to limit the number of candidates based on the fighters' records at the end of Week 9. The only main criteria I used was that a fighter needed to have a cumulative record of +5 victories over .500.

Since all of the Gold bouts were run for Week 9, I have already put together the candidates. Each weight class had between 4 and 8 candidates. As for the Silver, I put together a list for all teams that completed Week 9 bouts - leaving just 4 not complete.

I was going to suggest that, once posted, each team manager would vote via PM for 2 fighters per weight class to SAL. Since he is currently unavailable, I suggest that we move ahead with the All-Star balloting and match anyways.

I can re-adjust the candidate list to cover only the records of fighters after Week 8 and reduce the criteria to +4 over .500. I would be willing to tabulate the results if everyone would PM their choices to me.

I am currently at work tonight (OT) and will not be able to post anything until tomorrow night.

Let me know what you guys think...
