I should've looked over there before I started this draft, oh well. And one question, when it says "no selection," does that mean that the particular owner didn't log in at the specified time to make a selection and therefore, was bypassed? Thanks.

Each promotional/management group will be given 25 points to use to select their 3 boxers during the initial draft. Each point is the equal value of a boxer's ranking. For example: George Foreman is a "12" rated fighter, so a promotional/management team would have to use 12 out of its 25 allocated points to select him, leaving only 13 points available to draft the next two boxers.

Just thought of this idea while going through my database - each promoter/managerial team may choose the fighter file of the particular boxer that they want to draft and manage. For example: Matt Skelton has files ranging from '"6-9" in ratings. You can choose how many points you want to use on him. This allows for some flexability while drafting. Maybe you want to draft Vitali Klitschko, but you do not want to spend the 12 points on him because it would severely hamper your ability to draft any other highly ranked boxers. Maybe you feel like taking a chance and believe that a "10" rated Vitali could get into the rankings as well as the "12" and have a chance to win a world title. This will allow each stable to make more decisions and will allow some flexability in drafting fighters.

All unused points remaining from the draft are "bankable" and can be used to acquire more fighters in the future. All stables MUST draft three fighters in the initial draft and cannot save points by only drafting two fighters. Stables will acquire points by meeting universe requirements that will be posted on the Universe Information page in the future as they are drafted. Examples would be points for winning Regional/World Titles, wins versus Top 10 opponents, Title Defenses, etc.

My internet was down for a week. Verizon is unreal. Can I get in on the bottom of the draft?

No problem, but I need a name for your stable.

Unstable will use Paradise City AC as its venue. Same venue as in The Setup (1949) RKO films.

Billy Goat Promotions will choose Rocky Marciano of the 13 rating.

[Romdawg88]

Muckboys Promotions take Teofilo Stevenson (rated 11) with their first pick of the draft. Also, I've had no luck whatsoever in finding the file for Teofilo so I was wondering if someone could point me towards it thanks.
