I follow the actual fight schedule from the period, except for the storyline fights. I try to sim as many fights for which I have at least one rating, so these will be a big help.

Had to update Clyde's bio with this info after reading the article. Bizarre!

Mark,

After being away from the forum for several months and trying to update my unis, this is the first chance I had to go through this thread.

All I can say is great work!!! My only regret is that I wish I had these ratings when I was running my Teo Stevenson uni last year.

Keep 'em coming!!!!

I appreciate the kind words. I also appreciate all your ratings, and am using quite a few.

Between the other raters, yourself, and the TBCB3 DB Team, I'm nearly at the end of my list of new ratings to do. The DB I'll be using for the universe will have more than 975 fighters, SM-HW, from the 1970s. Only planned on about 800 when I started this "little" project!
