The Universal Team Boxing ***ociation was created in June of 2006 in hopes of bringing team competition to the sport of boxing. The rules will consist of....(If interested let me know, we are looking for 16 human controlled teams, the draft will be conducted in these forums until a better option is found)

The league will consist of:

1) Two divisions ( Gold & Silver )

2) Eight teams in each division

3) 16 boxers on each team, two boxers per each of the 8 original weight classes.
(Only the stock database of fighters will be used)

Rules of the UTBA:

1)Teams will face all the teams in their respective division one time per season.

2) Team versus team will operate as follows:

A: A boxer will face both boxers of the same weight class from the team they are
matched up against one time each. Example:
Boxer #1-(HW) of team A will face boxers #1-(HW) & #2-(HW) of team B
Boxer #2-(HW) of team A will face boxers #1-(HW) & #2-(HW) of team B

B: All bouts in team matches will be scheduled for 12 rounds.

-1 points - for a DQ loss

D: At the end of the season, all teams will be allowed to release up to three boxers
and replace them with boxers from the draft pool.

Draft Pool

New boxers will be randomly added to the draft pool at the end of each season.

2) The order in which teams will draft(straight draft); the team with the worst point total at the
end of a season will have the first pick, the team with the 2nd worst point
total will have second pick…..and so on.

part in a 16-man tournament to determine individual champion.

3) All tournament bouts will be scheduled for 15 rounds.

bias selected on all the judges scoring.

If you have text messaging Romy, I could monitor the draft, relay it to you, and report your pick if you want. Of course, if you are on vacation with family or something, that might get you in a world of trouble...

Or I'll draft for you if you like - just give me a list. I'd really like to play myself but I don't know if I'll have the time to maintain any type of schedule.

[jbergey22]

OK, Here is the deal!

We are going to get this going. Sal has volunteered to run this as a commish which is wonderful news for me. He may want to change a few rules to what he wants or is familiar with, but I think the basic format will be similiar. I would assume he will come out with a new thread giving the rules of how he would like it run, in the meantime please post under this thread still if interested, and I'll pass the info along or atleast we will get this thing organized so we can start ASAP. Thanks

[Romdawg88]

Thanks for the offer BigMatt but sadly I don't have Text messaging also I don't have TBCB on this computer so I can't look over the database and make a list. What I was planning was to grab the best fighter left really I wasn't worryed about a plan until the next draft when I had to fill in the holes on the roster. Ya know if you don't got the time to do the draft don't worry about it BigMatt but once again thanks for the offer.

[CONN CHRIS]

I'm in. Can you put it in the By-laws that I get O'Grady, Pep and Starling?

Okay if that's the case I'm in but I want Alexis Arguello and Marvin Johnson in the first draft. Can't let a freaking accountant try to bend the rules like that.

[Romdawg88]

Well in that case I call both Sugar Rays and Ali. Actually, for real if your going to set them up with their fighters I'd like to have Thomas Hearns and Shane Mosley.

LOL, We'll have to see what we can do. Accountants just have the way about them I guess. Smooth talking salesmen. Do you want in mh?

Since I volunteered to commish this league, I'll drop my name out for a team in the league and just act as commissioner. The rules posted above are fine with me or we can take any suggestions about changing them.
Here are some questions I have for you guys.
1. Should we use the auto-aging feature or not? If we don't use the auto-age, should we set a limit on how many years a fighter is allowed to fight in this league?
2. On the draft, would you guys want me to stock a draft pool for you to draft your teams from? Or we could draft on our own with some sort of salary cap. (Example...you can only have 2 fighters rated 10 or higher, 2 fighters rated 9, 3 fighters rated 8 and so on.....)
3. Should we use the injury option in the game?
4. Is this going to be strictly a team league and not worry about any individual champions?

The only time I see participating in this league that will be time consuming for everyone is the initial draft and at the end of each season when teams are allowed to drop fighters and draft to replace them. Other than that, its just sit back, watch what happens and bad mouth one another all season long.

[Romdawg88]

Yeah, the drafts are going to be the only things that take up time but it doesn't matter if it takes a week or two to get through the whole thing so everyone should be able to sign up and play.

1. I vote for auto-aging, the randomness of when people switch to different career stages adds abit of extra flavor.

2. Draft pool, just like the MBF I think it's funner that way.

3. I'm not sure about Injury either way is fine with me.

4. Yes to Individual champions, gives us some extra bragging rights.

1.I like auto aging
2.I like the stack draft pool idea
3.yes to injuries, athough then we would probably need have a bench of boxers or Free Agency
4.If its not too dificult Im for Indiviual Champs as well
