Where's the blow, hookers and car bombs.

Well, the car bombs disappeared due to the threat of losing access to a certain weight class.

Man, if the Gatitos are dissolved this draft is going to be sick in terms of quailty fighters.

Man, you make one little innocent comparsion and all of a sudden people want to car bomb you that sucks.

Why does the hottest team in the UTBA always have to be in our divison, why can't we ever get the coldest team. I think our guys deserve a break. Oh well, just have to win or lose by less then 11 to stay in first.

Congratulations to the Barbarians.

Oh well, I think the season's over for the Tomatoes. Barring a complete collapse by the Muckboys, I can't see any hope in making the playoffs.

Making a roster change this late in the season looks pretty stupid right now. The new guys impressively layed down and went 0-4.

Also lost my only champion - although I knew Patrick Ford wouldn't hold it for long. I can only hope for a few good performances in the EOY tournaments.

But seriously, well done.

Thanks. Ian
It is a most un-expected surprise. Wasn't expecting to do much other than get a good draft pick this season. Caveman Lee actually did something. The earth may be altering it's axis.

If he doesn't respond tomorrow, the UTBA will drop his team from the league at the end of the season for lack of activity, release all of his fighters to the draft pool and replace his team with an expansion team from one of the 5 board members that have said they would like to participate in the UTBA. The reason for dropping a team due to inactivity is mainly the draft. If somebody is not around to draft when it is their turn, it just holds everybody else up and slows things down.
I know we have 5 guys willing to be active members of this league which brings me to my next question. Do we want to add 4 more expansion teams next season or leave the league at 16?

Sal
I have no problem with 4 expansion teams. It means more work for you so if you are ok with it expansion will suit me fine.

Admit it you just want to lay a beating on someone like the ones you've been catching all season.

[kenyan_cheena]

If we expand to 20 teams, I'd suggest that for scheduling purposes, it's best to go with five divisions with four teams in each. Maybe you could call them East, West, North, South and Central.

It could be a 14 round season, with six rounds within the division and eight outside, which would be made up of two against each of the other four divisions. The playoffs could be the division champs plus a wildcard, with the two highest scoring division champs getting a first round bye and then hosting the semi-finals. Or it could be five division champs and three wildcards.

[mh2365]

or 4 divisions with 5 teams in each and a total of 13 games. Or even just 9 games start the season with the 5 against the other division and finish with the 4 inside your own division.

That would mean that some teams have one less home game. I don't know how vital the home ground advantage is, though. But scheduling four teams per division is easier than five. With five, you would have one team having to play a game outside the division all the time.

This would be my proposal with a 14 round season:

Round One: West @ North, South @ Central, East plays 1st divisional games
Round Two: East @ West, North @ South, Central plays 1st divisional games
Round Three: North @ East, West @ Central, South plays 1st divisional games
Round Four: East @ South, Central @ North, West plays 1st divisional games
Round Five: Central @ East, South @ West, North plays 1st divisional games
Round Six: Teams play 2nd divisional games
Round Seven: Teams play 3rd divisional games

For Rounds Eight to Fourteen, the home and aways from rounds 1-7 would be reversed.

[kenyan_cheena]

However, if, like me, you're not a fan of wildcards (except in the NFL), the playoffs could simply be the five divisional champs. They would be seeded according to their points total, and the playoffs would proceed like this.

Round One

#1 seed has a bye

Game One: #4 v #5 (loser eliminated)
Game Two: #2 v #3

Round Two

Game Three: winner Game One v loser Game Two (loser eliminated)
Game Four: #1 seed v winner Game Two (winner progresses to Championship match)

Round Three

Game Five: winner Game Three v loser Game Four (loser eliminated)

Round Four

Game Six: The Championship match, winner Game Four v winner Game Five

This is the way our National Rugby League used to run its playoffs up to about twelve years ago.

... so it must be the threat of their jobs! Anyway ...

Jim Amato calls Reuben Olivares one of the top 25 fighters since 1960, and I've been waiting to something like that out of him. He converted on the opportunity today. I honestly thought either Foster or Kid would be my first champion, but this is excellent!

Yes, I needed that win and the points. Baring a complete collaspe on my part I should make the playoffs. Also, I was worried about that fight with Vic I'm glad that Candido kept his belt.
