Was the minimum of 8 entrants per category a restriction from FPC for the prizes? I wouldn't mind competing without the prizes, just to keep the higher levels of the event going. We have more heavyweights than last year and it would be a step back to exclude the highest health fighters altogether in my opinion.
checked the FP twice over, but can't see time and place for the Launch Party, just the day. Prolly me, I'm good at missing things, but can you re-post here, please?

If it is fighting you want in the heavier divisions make it so don't cancel their division. I think a Round Robin type of format would work better for them anyway just a suggestion to throw out their.
Super Heavyweight
Hugh Hugh Willose (Dark Knights)
Stoikow Stoikow Mudorow (Warants) 2009 Heavyweight Champion
Neo The Famous Trader Sharp (Art of War)
Each of them will have to fight each other 3 rounds so no matter what each will fight twice at least. The fighter with 2-0 record will be the winner. If each one records a 1-1 record extra fights with sudden death 1 round instead of 3 that will really draw a crowd. Sudden death will keep them fighting till one can distinguish himself as victor.
Here is a random Round Robin generator I found not really needed for this division of 3 but might work in the Heavyweight http://www.teamopolis.com/tools/round-robin-generator.aspx
Thanks for the suggestion Wildman but from my point of view it's not really about the format, more about the level of competition. A 5-man tournament doesn't seem like much of a world championship, no matter what the format.
We have 7 people confirmed for Heavyweight now. Faustian and Centech are not responding to my PMs. We need one or both of them to confirm today in order to run the Heavyweight contest, so if you have them on FL please feel free to badger them about it
# Heavyweight: 181-220 Health
# Super Heavyweight: 221 Health or above
Ok now you can send messenger! Try one more time please
Yeah I'm working on it but I'm also trying to sort out the other 160+ people, this is not an easy job
I've updated the second post with the final list of participants. The total number of entrants is 160.
I've included the Super Heavyweights there and will work out an alternative plan for what to do with that competition since we only have 5 entrants.
Super Heavyweights won't be included in tonight's draw. I'll worry about them later, on the basis that it will be easier to organise 5 people than the other 155.
In the meantime I will re-open registration for the Super Heavyweights in an attempt to get 8 people. If anyone still wants to join that class (221+ HP) please let me know asap. All other classes remain closed.
Join us at Billy's Spaceship Afterworld at 18:00 today if you can, to find out who you'll be facing in your first match and have a bit of practice
Damn. Due to system reinstall I have to download whole client again -_-' How long is party going to last? Hope I won't miss it, but there's still some downloading ahead....
Hm. Probably won't make it as it will take about 30 more mins to download :/ As I believe the results of the draw will be posted today? Whos, wheres and whens?
The draw is nearly done DuncanS, hopefully there are still some people hanging around the ring by the time you have installed EU again
