Alright everyone i have tested, rated, and rerated fighters/fights on here. and i think i am finally ready to start up an all time Heavyweight division tournament. all of the boxers that i am using are rated based on davethewave's ratings for the most part. i did do a little rerating myself on some fighters, but i think this is best since it puts my own touch on the fighters involved. i only rerated certain attributes for certain fighters. everything else i left it the same as dave put it. i used a rating chart from cox's corner to rerate some attributes that he gives each boxer, and the 20 boxers listed in that article will be the 20 boxers that are in this tourney. i will be using the settings/sliders listed in my thread. this will be a seeded based tournament. (i.e. #1 will fight #20, 2 vs 19, 3 vs 18, etc.) this order will be done in every round and every round each boxer will be in a different bracket depending on how he did in the last round. so if he lost in the first round then he will be in the 1 loss bracket for the next round. the same seeded fight order will apply for every bracket in every round. a fighter must loose in the 3 loss bracket in order to be eliminated from the tournament. in other words he will have to loose 4 times to be put out. so this way in each round you are going up against someone with the same amount of losses, so that you can only be eliminated by someone who also has 3 losses. yes this will take forever, but i am going to get it started none the less. the tournament will continue in this fashion until there are only 4 fighters left. at that time it no longer matters each fighters wins or losses in the tournament and it will go to single elimination, to where rank #1 will fight rank #4, and rank #2 will fight rank #3, and the winners will fight for the ultimate heavyweight championship of all time. to start the ranking off i just ranked all the fighters based on their overall to start with. since this is a very biased way of ranking them, i am going to do a thing i call ladder fights in where ill start from the bottom of the ranking and that guy will fight all the way up the ladder until he looses, then the guys he beat will fight the other guys that he beat. until i get all the way to the top. and of course every fight will be on cpu vs cpu. so dont expect a quick outcome lol but stay tuned for the tournament results!
