Bracket Notes: Tyrant will once again be hosting an organized tournament that will finish like the last one I hosted.

There are no major gimmicks here. Just good ol' fashioned fists a flyin'!

This tournament will involve active fighters which now include some of the fastest rising new stars of Online Boxing.

Does the new breed have what it takes to take Online Boxing into the future? Or is there plenty of fight left in the ol vet dogs trying to relive past glory?

Some say time will tell... Tyrant says THIS tournament will tell!

---------------PAST TOURNAMENT--------------------

This will run just like the last tournament hosted by Tyrant back in 2005. The great OB ring legend Here To Fight added yet another cap to his greatness by sweeping Tyrant in the finals of a best of 5 series:

!~~ONLINE BOXING HOLIDAY PUGILISM 2005~~!



*if you click the links in the bracket, each fighter has a description and some fights have result descriptions.

-----------------------------------

Like the last tournament, I will seed the list based on research of rankings and RECENT activity. That means that if old inactive vets decide to return for this, they will not be seeded high as they are not active.

-----------------------------------

PRIZES:

Tournament Winner: Will receive $15 in their paypal account.

Runner Up/Loser of the finals: Will receive $10 in their paypal account.

*If you do not have a paypal account, we will work out something within those values.

-----------------------------------

THE RULES:

1) This tournament is NOT meant to be completed in one day. This COULD take a few days, several days, a week or maybe longer. The purpose is to make sure that all fights happen.

2) Each battle will be a best out of 3. Single fights don't always prove much in a game as freak accidents happen. So whoever comes out the winner of a best out of three regardless of whether it was a lucky KO, a lag jump, or what not deserves to advance in the brackets.

The final battle will be a Best out of 5.

3) It will be up to the fighters to set up fights between each other. By that I am referring to times to fight.

4) YOUR BEST OUT OF THREE FIGHTS *MUST* BE BACK TO BACK!!!!

YOUR BEST OUT OF THREE FIGHTS *MUST* BE BACK TO BACK!!!!

YOUR BEST OUT OF THREE FIGHTS *MUST* BE BACK TO BACK!!!!

That means no tuneups in between fights. I will be checking the records of your fights on the Online Boxing page. The reasoning for this is that some fighters try to avoid finishing up their best out of three by fighting other fighters. I want this tournament to be focused.

If you have ANY fights in between and *IN PROGRESS* best of three set, they will not count and I will request that you guys fight again. The fighter who took it upon himself to fight another fight in between will begin the best out of three "redo" DOWN one fight (0-1).

So if you need tuneup fights, do them BEFORE you begin your next BEST OF 3 set. Don't do tuneups during in progress sets.

We should see

Tyrant W12 Holmes
Holmes W12 Tyrant
Tyrant W12 Holmes

on your records. Not

Tyrant W12 Holmes
Tyrant W12 JoeShmoe
Holmes W12 Tyrant
Tyrant W12 Holmes

You CAN take breaks during a set of three set, but ONLY breaks. You still cannot practice vs other live players on your Tournament name.

5) It IS entirely possible that this tournament could take longer than a week or two as I am planning on 16 total fighters and time zones are different. So just be patient and treat this like it is the Playoffs for the end of the year.

6) Your first round opponents will be selected based on seeding so do not complain about who your first round opponent is. This will NOT be setup on favors. It will be seeded.

*More rules may come. Some are strict because I want the tournament to feel official like a playoff series, or a US Open.

Begin to get your practice in. Get your styles down. Get serious. This is where you fighters want to "TURN IT UP" a notch outside of a title fight.

-----------------------------------

EXTRA NOTES:

-I am not trying to finish this in one or two days. I never believe that works as we all have different schedules and I don't want a bunch of gimmie advancements.
