Let's try this tournament again. Some changes based on legitimate criticism from before. Who: The contestant must have been in the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Issue, or have appeared in SI as a featured athlete. 8 initial contestants. We can expand and use free agents as needed. What: Lightweight/Welterweight. Matches will be official. If the tourney is successful we will do a Flyweight/Bantam weight version. Where: FFC Fight Night When: November. Why: So that it does not conflict with the Body Saddle or Queen's Anniversary Tournaments. How: Sign up here. Entries So Far:Lightweight:
  Kelsey Merritt (Odds and Ends), Emily DiDonato (Fates Boxing) Welterweight:

When: November. Why: So that it does not conflict with the Body Saddle tournament. Just to give you a friendly heads up, there is a tournament event scheduled for November in "Queen's Anniversary." You can see the full list here. So to help you not conflict with events that have been scheduled for more than half the year, Queen's Anniversary is scheduled for November 22nd, 2023. --- It is also unlikely that that an SI model would be committed to fly the banner of a stable in Queen's Anniversary. ---- I look forward to seeing this event in November - I just wanted us to avoid posting "on top" of each other. |

Ronda Rousey qualifies. She's a free agent, would you like to manage her Ginny?

Ronda Rousey qualifies. She's a free agent, would you like to manage her Ginny? No thanks. I hung up my whistle a few years ago. (Now I just sit in front of the TV watching every FCBA show and scream advice at the tele!) |

It's good. Rousey will be a reserve if there are not enough managed fighters.
Trying to keep a balance of Lights and Welters, but will accept anyone who qualifies. Right now we're looking for 2 more lightweights, and 1 more welterweight to make the minimum.

If you are looking for one more welterweight with Sports Illustrated credentials, look no further than Rockin' Robyn Lawley!

If you are looking for one more welterweight with Sports Illustrated credentials, look no further than Rockin' Robyn Lawley! You got it! Lawley has been added. That makes 5 Welters, could use more Lightweights, but I'm not turning anyone away yet. |

Well, Ellie Thumann brought the challenge on. Cintia Dicker will enter the competition giving you six welterweights. |

Post by countrymouse on Oct 5, 2023 2:45:48 GMT -6
Welcome Queens of Absolution! So that makes 8 fighters. There is time so let's see if we can get 12.

Just an update:
There is enough to run a tournament. I will give it till the end of the week for people to sign up. Whatever gaps there can be filled with Free Agents.
Once entries are closed the next step is for the managers to issue challenges for round 1.

Ponton: I don't like the way things ended between us Kelsey. I want another shot at you!  Ellie: I want nothing to do with Godzilla, and I've already beaten Cintia. It's cute that you have a little crush on me though. I worshipped Adrianna growing up, I'm all grown up now and I'd love to kick her ass! |

 Came up with a prize. The SI Championship Belt. I know this was a rogue FCBA championship a few years ago. The winner of the tournament gets their name put on the belt and can wear it to the ring (add an icon to their picture). Very much like the FTW Championship, The Greatest Royal Rumble Belt, or the King of the Ring crown. We are at 9 entries. I am looking for more. But I have a plan if we don't get them. Group 1:
Cintia Dicker Emily Didinato Group 2:Adriana Lima Ellie Thumann Open for challenge:Robyn Lawley Kelsey Merritt Brooklyn Decker Kate Upton Round 1: -2 groups of 4. Round 2: -Semi Final Round 3: -Final |

Very much like the FTW Championship, The Greatest Royal Rumble Belt, or the King of the Ring crown. We are at 9 entries. I am looking for more. But I have a plan if we don't get them. Group 1: Olivia Ponton Kelsey Merritt Cintia Dicker Emily Didinato Brooklyn Decker Group 2: Adriana Lima Ellie Thumann Robyn Lawley Kate Upton Round 1: -Round Robin elimination by points. -Each competitor has one match with each other fighter to earn points. -Draw 1, TKO 2, KO 3. -Group 1 will have 4 opponents group 2 will have 3 opponents. -Write ups can be minimum unless someone wants to do more. Round 2: -The fighters with the most points in round 1 go on to the finals. First of all, love the title belt and really impressive work on your part.
Second of all, I don't know whether you'll get an additional three (3) people in there though I hope so. If not, in the interests of saving people a lot of additional work, I would have Kate Upton drop out of the tournament. She might help host it or participate it in a bout on the tournament card itself, but that way it can be a more traditional 8 person tournament and we'd be very cool with that.
We'll be happy to work with you no matter what though and looking forward to this tournament a lot!

All the challenges are filled and I have the results from Lookout
Round 1 will be:
Cintia Dicker vs Dido
Brooklyn Decker vs Kelsey Merritt
Adriana Lima vs Ellie Thumann
Kate Upton vs Robyn Lawley
Now we need writers. The first round only needs to be a short summary. You can write a full match if you want to.
I will write Kate Upton vs Lawley.

I have the four 1st round matches written up, my AI writing assistant is working remarkably well now, and have received results for round 2.
I know I said November. But should I start posting matches?

But should I start posting matches? If we may, we'd like Emily's 100th match to be on our accord and would prefer the tournament wait to November. We can see one match with Emily now but would prefer the rest (if she wins) to wait after we post her 100th match. We will post her 100th fight within the week. We can help write a fight in round 2. |

We would also like to wait until November. The PPV is coming up and then Asylum PPV. No need to have this event buried on the schedule this month.

The PPV should be going up tonight (if all things go smoothly) and then Asylum will be coming up in a few days. Please coordinate with Fates as to the Beach PPV and then this event can go up after that. Looking forward to all of these fun events!  |
