MFWF MMA: Results Poster, Roster Roll Call is NOW.

[PdW2kX]

Welcome to MFWF MMA! MFWF MMA is a fantasy league for the upcoming video game UFC Undisputed 2010 on the Xbox 360. Members of the league will compete in mock Pay-Per-View events to crown champions and contenders, with pride and prizes both on the line! If you are interested in joining MFWF MMA, please read our rules first. And remember- you must be a registered member of either the WrestlingFigs.com or MMAFigs.com forums in order to compete in MFWF MMA.

The Rules of MFWF MMA[/u]

THE GOLDEN RULE OF MFWF MMA: NO ARGUING

If you want to debate something in the league, like an adult, feel free.

If you start an argument and start acting like a child, you get NO warning. If you argue, you will be kicked out of the league immediately.

This league wasn't made for arguing. There is no arguing in this league. Arguing = no. Get it?

THIS LEAGUE IS FOR XBOX 360 USERS ONLY. Sorry for all the PS3 users, but this is something I can’t budge on because I personally ONLY own an Xbox 360. If any PS3 users want to start a league of their own, I wish you all the best of luck.

If you are interested in joining this league, you need to PM ME on either the MF or WF forums. In your PM, you need to state that you are interested, what fighters you want, and YOUR GAMERTAG. PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE YOUR GAMERTAG.

In choosing the fighters you are interested in, please pick TWO fighters from EACH weight division out of the “FREE AGENTS” list that comprises of all the CURRENTLY AVAILABLE fighters. I will then choose which fighters you will be playing as in a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis. Please note that you can control TWO fighters maximum, and they CAN NOT be in the same weight division. If you are interested in only controlling ONE fighter in the league, remember to SPECIFY THIS in your PM.

AS OF THIS TIME, THE DLC FIGHTERS ARE GAMESTOP-EXCLUSIVE, SO I WON’T BE INCLUDING THEM IN THIS LEAGUE. This MAY change as time goes on, but for now, they are OUT. Sorry to any and all fans of the DLC fighters.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A COMBINED LEAGUE. This league will be comprised of users from both the WrestlingFigs.com and MMAFigs.com message boards.

If someone drops out of the league, and has a fighter you are interested in picking up, PM me and we will discuss it. IF I do allow you to pick up that fighter, and drop your current, ALL records (the fighter you drop and the fighter you pick up) will be re-set to 0-0-0.

Since this is a combined league, here is the way fights are set up. If you would like to fight on an upcoming card, you simply respond to the official thread that will be posted on both the WF and MF message boards and say that you would like to fight on the upcoming pay-per view. Please state that you are interested in fighting someone IN GENERAL, I go into fighting a SPECIFIC person a little later.

When we have enough people to set up a Pay-Per-View (normally comprising of at least five fights), I PERSONALLY will pick who faces who. This is due to the fact that several members may have accounts only on WF or only on MF. If it's a high profile fight, it will make our "Main Card." If it's a fight between two people trying to climb the ladder, it will be considered a "Preliminary fight."

As always, I will include everyone’s gamertag when a PPV is announced to help opponents find each other and agree upon a time to have their fight.

If you would like to set up fights with a SPECIFIC player using the official threads, here is how you would go about doing so.

If you and your opponent have both agreed to fight each other beforehand, you BOTH need to respond in the thread and let me know that you want to fight each other. If you have a specific opponent in mind but they have not agreed to the fight, you can either PM them or throw out a “challenge” in the official threads. Either way, BOTH of you must agree to the fight. Once I APPROVE of the fight, it will be added to the main card.

The reason I personally have to approve of these types of fights is so I can prevent things like a title holder agreeing to challenge his low-ranked friend to a title fight just to slingshot the friend up in the rankings. In that scenario, even if the title holder wins his friend would still leapfrog a lot of competition due to the rankings upgrade that comes with being a title challenger. I want to prevent that and other situations like it from happening. I won’t go around accusing anyone of anything, but steps do need to be taken in order to ensure that this is a fun league for everyone.

After each fight, BOTH combatants will post the result of the fight. This is done in order to ensure that accurate times and winners are noted. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS after you are done fighting. Remember that when posting your result, you should note:

- Who won.
- How you won.
- The round and official time of the fight.
- If the fight ends in a decision, be sure to add if it was unanimous or split.

NEW RULE: When posting the result of your fight, please note when the fight ended and not how much time was left in the round. For example, if you get a 16 second knockout, your post should read something like "X defeated Y via KO at 0:16 of Round 1", and should not look like "X defeated Y with 4:44 left in Round 1". This is done to avoid any confusion that may pop up.

Fights will take place in fantasy PPV events. Each PPV will be a maximum of ONE week long. This means that you have ONE WEEK to meet your opponent on XBL, set up a time for your fight, and then fight your fight. CHAMPIONS will also fight on these PPVs, on the main card of course. There will be at least one title fight on each PPV, if not more. Going by the rankings, I will set up title fights. This is more or less where a champion "has to" fight. Since you are given one week, I'm sure you can get that fight in. IF YOU CAN NOT make that fight, please let me know as soon as you possibly can. I can scratch that fight. I understand people are busy and people may not be able to set up a match with their opponent. I don't want anyone to feel forced, that's why I'm giving everyone ONE week for a pay-per view. If a PPV ends early, we will set another one up ASAP.

If a fight is agreed upon, and someone is a no-show, the person that does show will get a win. His record would look like 1-0-0. The person that no-shows the event, will get a loss and his record would look like 0-1-0. After one no show, you will receive a warning. If you miss 2, you will be eliminated from the league and your fighter’s records will be reset and available to other players. I understand if you're busy...but if you agree to a fight and a time, and you can't make it...you're just holding up the league.

I will also determine (fairly, obviously) the rank of fighters. I will base this on record, first and foremost, followed by quality of opponent, the way the fight ends, how quickly, what round, etc. Please do not argue about where you are ranked. If you don't like your rank, find someone who is willing to fight you on an up-coming PPV, beat them, and move up.

REMEMBER THAT THE RULES CAN BE MODIFIED AS I SEE FIT. Just remember that in this league, you’re representing the WrestlingFigs.com community and MMAFigs.com as a whole, since this will be a featured league where results and upcoming cards WILL be posted on MMAFigs.com. My time as both a WF member and MF admin should be enough for everyone to realize that I’m going to be as fair as possible when it comes to instituting new rules, fixing old rules, or nixing rules altogether.

As the league continues to get bigger and evolve, new rules will inevitably have to pop up, or old rules will inevitably have to be tweaked. Just remember that I am the one solely in charge of doing so, and I can do so at my own discretion. I promise to keep a close eye on what the league’s users like and don’t like from this league, and that their wants and needs WILL be the main factor I take into consideration when thinking about rule changes.

[PrideFcF]

The first league had me so excited as it was being developed. Then it became obvious that if someone was just "good enough" at grappling, and had a more advanced character than yours, you were pretty much screwed. Then arguments spawned over spamming take downs and such.

I think my first match was with Pdw2kX (Rumble-vs-Lytle). It was fun for sure, but then my second match was kind of frustrating. Then it became hard to land a fight, and I sort of lost interest.

Anyways, I do expect to get this game, but I don't know if I'll spring for a Live renewal in time for all this. If I can afford it, I may be interested in giving this another go.

[Ian from 616Entertainment.]

You lost me at "XBOX 360 Users Only."

[Ian from 616Entertainment.]

Nah, that. If any one decides to do a PS3 one, I will totally help run it. And if there is a draft or something, dibs on Chuck Liddell!

[gothereds]

Dibs on Shane Carwin and Matt Hamill.

[ZT]

I might join in. It would finally give me a reason to actually pay for Live and play online, which I never do.

[BasedGod]

If this actually goes down, count me in. Dibs on the hometown hero BJ Penn. Ill PM you with my gamertag and stuff soon, im planning on changing it sometime.

[The Champ is Here!]

is there any chance of adding like, an 2009 division? I'd love to be in on this, but don't see myself shelling out 60 bucks for it anytime soon

[PdW2kX]

No plans on adding a 2009 division right now, it's going to be strictly for the new game.

So, as far as "officially interested in participating" goes, I count What's That Metronome I Hear and AlwaysHI as "definite", and a couple other people as "maybe".

If I'm wrong, just let me know. Add to this list me and six others that have signed up on MF, and that's about nine people. Not too shabby.

I'm still waiting on the rules to be accepted, Jon Hal's a busy guy. But we've still got over a month, so no worries. I'll update this topic both on MF and WF when the rules are made official and I have more to report on the whole "playing for prizes" situation.

With or without any significant rule changes, it's pretty much a lock that this league is going to happen. So, to poll those interested, would those who have signed up want to start working on a card immediately when the game is released, or possibly wait a certain interval (say, a week after the game launches) to begin structuring a card?

I'm all for waiting a week or so to ensure that everyone gets their copy of the game, but if you guys want to do it immediately I'm fine with that too. Let me know.

[PrideFcF]

A week wait would probably be the best idea. No matter what, you know people will have issues on launch. And beyond that, it'll give everyone time to adjust to any gameplay changes.

[gothereds]

I'm up for making a card as soon as possible.

My chosen fighters for each division are:

HW: Carwin or JDS
LHW: Hamill or Bader
MW: Sonnen or Quarry
WW: Hazelett or Hardy
LW: Pearson

[Patrick Bateman (original)]

You know I'm in bro. Kos and Cain for me please.

[czwmarkout]

I'd be interested, i was in the 09 one

[PdW2kX]

Good news for all involved, Jon Hal recently signed off on the set of rules I submitted to him, the rules that are posted in this very topic. This means that PRIZES are now up for grabs for our big events. I'll post more details as they become available, most likely as we near the release date of UFC 2010 and the card and roster becomes really fleshed-out. But prizes are most definitely CONFIRMED for this league.

Now with that said, here is the full list of those interested in joining MFWF MMA.

What's That Metronome I Hear was also interested, but he either got banned or deleted his account. And although not explicitly stated in the rules, you've got to be a member of WF or MF in order to participate.

Either way, I have gamertag AND fighter picks from the following people:

Cass

If you don't see your name listed, NOW is the time to begin sending in your submissions. Please remember to FOLLOW THE RULES regarding fighter selection, and PLEASE remember that your gamertag MUST be included.

Those that submitted their picks early won't get any sort of special favor since the rules weren't adopted at that point in time. They'll just be added to the list. As it stands, depending on how many people turn in gamertags and fighter selections, I'm looking to begin handing out fighters by next week. The full roster details should be released by then.

And that's it for this update. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available, and thanks to all that have joined and are interested in joining! Remember to get in those fighter selections and gamertags!

[PdW2kX]

* - New fighters to the "UFC Undisputed" franchise
# - Fighters accessible exclusively with retail promotions (i.e. GameStop in the U.S.)
@ - "Legend" fighters exclusive to the PlayStation 3

Edit: Here's a little clarification on my fighter selection process.

"First come, first serve" goes into effect at about Friday. With the roster lineup now revealed, I'll probably start handing out fighters by Friday. All that have turned in their fighters by Friday will basically be measured equally, after the first picks are handed out, then it's first come first serve.

And remember, no whining about your fighters guys. I'll try to give you the ones you want, but as you can imagine almost everyone wants to play as the more popular fighters. So I'll try to be as fair as possible with handing out the big names, but just realize that some of you may not get your #1 fighters.

Finally, here is the current line-up of people who have both given me their gamertags and their want-list of fighters.

Cass
Chicagoan Messiah PUNK
Happy Pizza (edit: just added)

Remember to submit BOTH your gamertag AND your wish-list in a PM, otherwise, you'll be counted out. Some I have gamertags but no wish-lists, others it's vice-versa. So get 'em in while ya can!

[PdW2kX]

Well...I certainly feel pretty stupid. I was in the middle of clearing up my PM folder and accidentally deleted all my PM's.



Anyone not listed in the post above but has recently sent me a PM with their gamertag and fighter wish-lists, please re-send the PM.

Sorry for the mix-up!

On a brighter note, I've received GT's and fighter wish-lists from ten combined members of MF/WF, so with a default PPV card consisting of at least five matches, we already have enough members to put together our first PPV card! Many thanks to all who have become interested in this, I can't wait to get this thing started!

[Cass]

So wait, you need my pics again.. or no?

[PdW2kX]

I got your picks, and Chicagoan Messiah PUNK's, and Happy Pizza's. All three of you sent in fighter wish-lists and gamertags, and they've all gone into the big MS word document I've been using to keep track of all the GT's and wish-lists.

Everyone else either hasn't sent in their picks yet or unfortunately got deleted. There were about three PM's I never got the chance to read because I accidentally deleted everything.

So, to those who PM'd me but don't see your name listed among the three in this post, please re-send your PM.

[Johnny Lawrence - Cobra Kai]

Good to see this going again, but let me give you guys a couple words of advice, based on last time:

-- The "no arguing" rule is very important. Last year, the thread got locked by Jack Specific due to all of the arguing and attacking going on when people didn't like the results of their fights. I had to spend a lot of time weeding out the offending posts just to convince Jack to let me unlock it. Which was a pain for me, and for you guys. Easiest way to avoid that happening is to just BE COOL.

If you have a complaint that absolutely must be voiced, fine... do it via PM and don't risk the thread getting locked, spoiling everyone's fun.

-- I'm the mod of the UFC board, but other than moderating this thread, I am not involved with the league. Just making that clear, since last year I'd always get PMs from members complaining about the rules of the league, or other stuff. I have no say in, nor do I have any control over, the rules of this league or how it is run. The only thing I can do is moderate the thread. So please remember to voice any concerns with PdW2kX.

Other than that, have fun, guys.

[PdW2kX]

Wisely said, bro, and thanks for the support.

With that said, Mukau and Patrick Bateman (original) sent me their picks and have been added to the league, which now stands at 12 members who've turned in GT's and wish-lists.
