Hi guys,

This will be the thread for voting on miscellaneous issues that arise during the season.

These votes will be open for all players, not just captains, any time a player wants something to be put up for vote it'll be done here.

The decision will be made by tallying the votes of those who took time to do it so if you're playing and you didn't vote it means you're ok with it either way.

First order of business was raised by @CthulhuJones after this week's M-1 got a few fights added 14 hours before closing time made a few players miss their picks on the event.

So the rule up for voting is:

If fights are added to a counting event within 24 hours of the event it gets booted providing it's not a T1 event and/or booting it doesn't drop us under 3 events for the weekend.

Vote Yay or Nay. Scores will be tallied after 24 hours, thread will be occasionally bumped while the clock's ticking on an active vote.

Also, think of this scenario ... Cage Warriors card, stacked from top to bottom, 2 title fights and 23 hours before the fight some unknown from the prelims gets a stomach virus, quick replacement is made ... we drop the card - because we have a rule.

Do we want that?

Hell, UFC 177 would have barely made the hypothetical 24 hour no change cut off, and it doesn't get any more "Big League" than that.

Yeah, but the rule state T1 cards are excluded, so UFC would still make the cut ;)

Hi guys,

A motion to raise Oplot MMA to tier 3 has been set by @Breauxpati.

Reasoning: 

- They always stream
- Results are readily available 
- ALL PRO


This isn't just a captains vote -- all players are invited to share their thoughts (just please make sure to also put a vote in after sharing ;) ).


I'll be bumping this thread periodically until, let's say the midnight between Sunday and Monday ET (it may be a bit after but not before) and we'll see how this goes down.


And remember, the votes are tallied according to who voted, no vote != 'no' vote (if 3 people vote, then the one with 2 votes wins), so if you don't want to suddenly find the promotion on you T3 list be sure to vote against it as opposed to not voting.

Sure, the more the merrier.

All promotions 'holding their events on one floor in a water park' in Moscow should be in.

I guess I should know this, or should ask Greg or Skelli but if fights are added with 13 hours to lock (thus pickable), a few picks get made, lock gets moved up 7 hours.  They still pickable/count?  They were added with > 12 hours until lock but does a changed lock negate it or will it stay pickable, technically only added 6 hours before lock?  I'm curious more than anything, locks do change.  Glad I could keep us on topic!

Yes.

@Kpro, I already asked Skelli that and if memory serves me right, if a fight is added withing 12 hours of event start it's not pickable - nothing to do with lock time.

EDIT:: Re-read your post, this time paid attention ... What I wrote here doesn't answer your question (was there even a question there?). Please disregard and file under stupidity ;)

I'm for adding Oplot to tier 3.

Obviously we should've waited for the SFL merger to put CageSport up for tier 3 vote @Breauxpati....

-Events now streamed live starting with 10/4's card on youtube.com/sfl
-Only pro fights
-Results entered live
-Fighter sharing between US/India

In light of the changes, if possible, can we put CageSport back up for vote as it was voted on just before the SFL merger.  It's without doubt above Oplot which appears to be moving to tier 3.
