Thank you to everyone that has helped to complete the draft. The promotional page has been completed, still need Crimson's trainer/cutman. Thanks to Don and Scot for offering help with certain areas to make this a better universe. Finished US, Canada, Australia regions. Will get more done during my shift at work this week. I can tell all of you that I am looking for this weekend as a start date. I will start to post the regions top rated fighters, some records of fighters that have started in 78-79, and a list of all the fictional fighters that were randomly selected. Looking forward to getting this under way!

Ready to Rock & Roll. Big Red is more than ready to squash the Muckboys.

Not to many major surprises in the draft, but the most interesting combination of top two fighters has to go to the East Coast Gladiators, with the diversity of Mike Tyson and John L. Sullivan. One end of the spectrum to the other.

[Crimson]

Sorry it took me so long to reply!

East Coast Gladiators have hired:

Trainer: Cus D'Amato
Cutman: Eddie "The Clot" Aliano

This will be added to the Universe Information link. As I said previously, points will be very difficult to come by and promotional/managerial teams and their boxers will have to do some serious fighting and winning to earn points to sign new fighters to contracts. I wanted to make it worth the effort to earn points.

6 points for a Major Title Unification Win (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO)
4 points for a Major Title Win (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO)
2 points for a Regional Title Win
1.5 points for a Major Title Defense vs. #1 Ranked Contender
1 point for a Major Title Defense
0.75 points for a Regional Title Defense vs. #1 Ranked Contender
0.5 points for a Regional Title Defense
0.5 points for a win vs. Top 10 Ranked opponent
0.5 points for five consecutive wins
0.25 points for a win

Obviously, the weighted point system shows the importance of getting your boxers to world title rankings and contention. And since the point system has been put up, you can feel the anticipation of the beginning of the universe around the corner!

Big Red Promotions is ready to roll. Our fighters have been locked down in the gym since the draft training hard in anticipation of the start.

USBA Region, 1978-1979 completed. I have done the randomized drafting for each major country and regions. I am importing one by one and autoscheduling/simming the 78-79 years for each. I am going back to work tonight, so I will try to get all the regions done tonight. Hopefully, will be able to put up the other three main regions (CABO, EBU, ICBA) results and then start posting opponent lists for each promotional fighter. Sorry it is taking a little longer than expected, but am trying to do this as clean as possible without making errors. Thanks for your patience, as I am also eager to get started with the interactive part of scheduling the bouts and watching the building of careers.

Only one more region to go, EBU, and already starting to work on opponent's lists for the start of the interactive part of the universe. Hope everyone is still in training preparing for their fighters to debut in January 1980. I can tell you that I just got home from work a little while ago and need some sleep. Will probably finish at work tonight and post EBU results and info during my shift. Which means that I will also be completing every fighters opponent's list tonight also. I will start posting tomorrow, just letting you guys know so that you do not have to keep checking in today. I will post one huge list for everybody in the USBA region instead of several small ones. Remember, first to respond, gets first date of fight, which will be on January 1, 1980!
