As for filling vacancies; that was also approved by a vote, so we should stick with it for awhile at least & trial it
I remember Spicoli bringing up the idea of voting to fill the heavyweight spots as he thought having Haye ranked & Arreola in the pool looked a little strange... at least with a vote to fill spots we get fighters ranked who the majority of managers agree with
Understood on the time frame for polls but discussion never hurt anything.I had not voted yet because the idea of Williams in the top ten was not all that bad,just not a vote for an 8th spot in hindsight for a fight that had already happened.Would we have aforded Wright the same placement? I am for filling vancancies but with three in any division,I feel we need to let things sort out,wait and see what big fights may be made at least for a while and leave at least one open?Was it 6 months on a vacant spot?
Don't remember deciding on a time frame for vacant spots? I remember something about 6 months for pool members...
With the way fighters earn their ranks they have to beat those ahead of them, so essentially those ranked lower will be pushed down anyway
On your question about giving Wright the same placement... if Wright had beat Williams & we just voted as we did I think I would have voted for Wright to fill the vacancy
If it makes you feel better we can include an option in the future votes for vacancies to leave it vacant, that way you can have your say if that's how you feel?
