Okay so I thought I would create a new thread to move this discussion and show exactly what we have so far for the teams and who is available. First for those who don't know the MVP league in it's current form will be ending and a new one will be starting. 

In this league only the events with at least one Professional fight will count. I have asked Gregory to create a competition for this like he did for the Acadania league but I haven't got confirmation for this. 

Due to people thinking it won't be competitive I have decided to harden the restriction to 2 top 15 members and 4 top 25 members. 

Looking at the leader boards we have 66 members who I would say care about this and pick all the fights. That fits perfectly with 11 teams of 6. The roster of players is below. 

So far we have 5 teams and they are as follows:

Legion:
Dannotheman
theMMAmessiah
Kpro
Kalibo
Live2wrestle
Hiblet

Sons of Tapology:
Poir420
Oldmangloom
PiercerDan
HavokDM
Swickotine
Rowlison

The Conquering Lions:
Wake99
Broski
Yorma
Russello
Sonnenssyringe
Shabbalanya
prophecy033

The Huggy Bears:
Wolfmanhowl
OldNick
Chron96
Lopati
Ufchick2011
Type138

The Misfits
:
R1zla
Joe Kerr
FresnoMMA
desauce
jaykool777
jaffacakehero

Tapology Top Team:
DietDrPepper
Soccerkick
CashBrewyn
AnikM
itsthedudedue
mulefloyd

Unknown Name:
ACFMMA
Wishishere
skeet2b
wilflet
Budgellism
Inspektor Voss

Unknown Name:
Catalogger
Crimedawg92
itfigures
trevpicks
mmapr0digy
stickmanandrew

Unknown Name:
benjaminbrandt
t0rch
kallousklown
Nik Lust
geezhound
icedrosa

People who are still available and willing to be on a team: (organized by ranking)

Other Members:

Gastronaut
ouirck76
thefreeman
prodigykid
jap steel
xtank0019xx
strez
tufchris
giffordj
Traeblack
Normo

I don't really see how you can say we can't get at least 10 super competitive teams with what I have laid out but if you still have concerns feel free to post them and we will discuss it.

    I think ACF and Catalogger should be on separate teams, maybe ACF, t0rch on one and Catalogger, brandt on another?

    I thought about that too @Messiah... or just replace @ACF with crimedawg and have team 9 start off with AFC and Wish?

    Lol I don't care. 

    I'd say that yeah team 10 would kind of be left with crapola lol. But every league needs a Chicago Cubs.

    That team definitely wouldn't be challenging for the playoffs, but could play a huge spoiler on weeks they were able to pull off a win.

    Maybe we could switch up teams 7-9 to make 10 a tad more competitive.  I find myself lol'ing at that post.. so I'm leaving it..

    EDIT:  Someone did flag the post... I know its random spam, but it did lighten the mood a little...

    For the people on my team just wait until you see the logo I am working on. I think you will all like it. I will post it as soon as I am finished. I have made the name Sovereign for now but we can change it if you guys like. Its an easy fix on the logo.
