To Lux and Big D, I understand. There’s a lot of information and a lot of statistics that make the whole thing seem much more complicated than it actually is. The rules are incredibly intricate (to try and answer a lot of questions in advance, not because there’s a massive list of things to do for each show) and the stats seem overwhelming because the game we’re using is so in-depth.

At the end of the day I’ll say this; the game features a lot of detail for those that choose to study and play with said details, but choosing to play at a surface level won’t be penalized for not understanding the finer points. As long as you have an idea of what you’d like your fighting style to be, and the ability to recognize things like “my guy is a wrestler, my opponent is a boxer, my gameplan is not to stand with him” you’ll be perfectly fine. I’m also more than willing to help anyone out with signups or spitball ideas for the first fight or two to get your feet under you. I’ve done a bunch of MMA feds like this and usually get at least one fighter to a championship, so I’ve got a decent baseline of knowledge on this.

In other news I’ve been told that 4 people from here sent in fighter applications after I posted, and were only a couple of spots from filling up both tournament brackets and getting underway, so thank you to those of you that jumped in and helped this off the ground.
