We post our picks one by one starting with mmameditations and ending with CaptnKbec in the first round. In the second round the same will happen but now CaptnKbec will start and mmmameditations will be last, that way is the fairest possible. Each person has 5 hours to post his individual pick. This is for rounds 1,2 and 3; for rounds 4,5 and 6 that time will be 3 hours.In the 6th round you can pick your guy with less than 3 fights.

Just did some math: 55 people in the draft, up to 24 hours per person to make picks (3x5 for rounds 1-3, 3x3 for 4-6). That means this could take almost 2 months at the absolute slowest

How are co-promotions handled?

I know the upcoming Bellator/Rizin is 2022 so doesn't count, but what about possible others like it?

I don't know if Shawn is up for it, but if everyone who picks before him sent him one name, he could either process your pick when it's your turn, or else put you on the clock if your fighter got taken prior to your turn.

Hell, I'd facilitate that for Shawn if he wished.

Or I'll just go back to shutting the hell up. :)

You can pick any fighters for rizin even on a cross promotion card as long as they aren't under bellator contract. And yes if anyone wants to send me a list of prospect they want if they feel they won't be around send them my way
